Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage - Hostel

Lounge, and easy check-in

Fantastic location for public transit to locations I wanted to go. Unexpected fun activities in the basement pub helped me meet others. Semi private beds with curtains. Common spaces and bathrooms kept clean. Breakfast option. Area to store food. 24 hour reception. Tiny kitchen was hard to.use. Cant't reserve a bottom bunk ahead of time. Under bed lockable storage has to be pulled out half way to get into. Very noisy lock system, easily slams down. Curtain around bed not by window so lots of light got in.

Superb

It’s on the jubilee line which is direct from the o2 for concerts. The beds have curtains with lots of privacy and lockers. The locker was a weird shape and kinda hard to fit a normal size bag into and the bathrooms were a little far from the room making it a little awkward after showering for the night walking back in pjs.

Large converted manor house with old wood feel. Working elevators (but steps up to the front on the outside), soft, clean towels and linens, kettle and tea/coffee in our private room, Trash and recycling ♻️ spots everywhere. 2 Large washers and 2 dryers with detergent included. Very large lobby with comfy chairs, soafs, and stools at a bar for working. Lots of showers and toilets available, although we had a private room with en suite bathroom. Mostly very clean. (We did find some leftover clothes and lots of dust bunnies way under the bed.) The location is close to 2 stations and several bus stops. The neighborhood has lots of places to get groceries or sit and have a coffee. The kitchen is very small but sufficient with two large fridges. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The mattresses are VERY firm. And the Twin bed private rooms were VERY small, like can’t open a suitcase with anyone else innthe room small. The bathrooms are airplane tiny. And they were bunk beds, which we knew when we booked. But they were quite hard to climb into and out of (the opening at the top being very small.) I will say our group is early 50’s. So maybe if your birthday year begins with a 19, go for the double beds instead of bunk beds.

Very good

My favorite hostel in London. Clean, good location, close to the tube, friendly staff and a nice bar to enjoy. They hosted lots of activities: I participated in karaoke which was fun. Very good value for money. The neighborhood is beautiful and only a short walk from Hampstead Heath.

A wonderful experience to stay somewhere like this. Loved everything. Having to rent towels.

Lovely staff, lovely building, clean and good breakfast at a great price. You need ear plugs as some guests arrive very late then inevitably wake you up. So my sleep was disturbed but not the fault of the Accomodation.

Exceptional

Great place , friendly with a mix of ages and nationalities. . . . Staff friendly any efficient, relaxed chilled vibe . . . . Loved staying there . . . Would stay again. . . Nothing

Dorm had plenty of room to keep luggage. Beds not crammed in like other places. Good lounge room. Staff knew what they were doing Locker very narrow. Only just kept day pack inside. Kitchen area very small

Great help from staff - Tom and Sagio. They are very accommodating and friendly. This is probably my 5th stay. Going back again. Very good Access to shops. Easy Access to transport (trains and busses) one bus ride to my university. I find almost all the guests are very respectful and kind. I find they take security seriously. Utilities are constantly being cleaned.

Great communal areas, really characterful building and very convenient to jump on the tube to camden or inner city No air conditioning, bed were very small... (im 5"11 and my feet were over the edge and I was unable to sit up in my bottom bunk)

I know this hostel since day one, back in 2006 - I had stayed there so many times. This was my first visit since the COVID crisis and was much improved by the improvement they made. Now I find this place, much cleaner and the old strong bleach smell is now gone. The lobby is again as always amazing and well maintained. The staff also looks more motivated and efficient. May be they need to change at last the bed curtains. At certain hours the music in the eating aria is not appropriate, but that's tricky.

Great value for money and really lovely building! The room for 8 females was compact, I love the curtain on each bed and the sturdy ladder up to the top bunk. Great location All good. I would stay again for sure
