MY CHOICE:
Although Wombat Naschmarkt is near the market and many landmarks, it's best to look for hostel near the train station (where we'll be bringing our luggages). Hence, my choice is Hostel Ruthensteiner : They have the cheapest available (€16) female dorms and we only need to pay €1.5 to book for both of us!

Meininger because it's cheaper (€16) , includes free towel and we can cancel without any charge. However, Wombats is much much nearer to the train station. Since we'll be having a day trip at Nuschwenstein (will need to go to Hbf station), this is also practical, Wombat is still fine with me.
