Excellent hostel- we stayed here after Bruce Springsteen gig - perfect location for Wembley. Staff were really helpful as we didn't know the area well and needed directions etc. 14 bed mixed dorm was super clean- showers were great and clean- loved the bunks with their little curtains and light and socket- giving you a measure of privacy. Bar was also great fun and reasonable Overall will definately make this my first choice when visiting this area again

Had a great time at Palmer's Lodge Hillspring, lovely staff, Iris is a wonderful bar hostess. Food was good and well priced. Other than a great stay (wiil do so again) we were quite annoyed by a group of German HS students who partied in the halls until 1:30 in the morning - Why couldn't the staff see on their video security that this was going on and put a stop to it? One other suggestion - don't clean the bathroom outside the cafeteria at breakfast time :)

We stayed there for hust onw night. But everything was nice, the staff was really friendly and the room was clean. It's easy to find and not far away from a tube station. We enjoyed our night there:)

Staff were lovely and friendly, and the room (private two-bed room with ensuite shower) was clean, comfortable, and quiet - just what we wanted. It was also good value for money. There were some noisy fellow guests, but this was not the hostel's fault.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was close enough to everything major. Provided a quite place to rest our heads.

No complaints about this place, except that both times I stayed there (3 weeks apart) both times there were LARGE school groups of young kids that pretty much took over the place.. They were super loud and super annoying, could never get at the laundry machines. Without those kids it'd be a great place. By kids I mean aged 12-17?

We found a very unpolite staff at the reception that most of the time looked like they where kidding us. We couldn't stay in the hostel until the departure of our bus to the airport, that was at 4 am. An hostel should consider that most of the cheapest flight leave in the early morning, so it should give the opportunity to stay in the common area instead of going around in the city at night. The english breakfast, included,needed to be booked the day before, also if it wasn't written anywhere.

Das Fenster wo ich gewohnt habe (208) war gebrochen, so dass ich, aufgrund der Lärme von draußen kaum schlaffen konnte. Ansonsten war alles ok. Es hat mir gut gefallen, dass der Personal sehr nett und hilfreich war.

It was a bit far if you wanted to enjoy sosho but yhe N98 bus deposits yiou outside the hostel , if its not diverted and there is usually lutyle to no watning sbout that.. i had lots of groups of schoolchildren running around very loud. obviously their tracher /chaperones dont care. i would only say that paers should have stricter chaperone expectations of theor student groups. Otherwise , it was great and i would recommend it to anyone.. i would go back and use it if i could.

The hostel is pretty nice. Clean, safe and comfortable. It is a little bit distant from the touristic attractions and cool areas of London, but is close enough to the tube. Also, this hostel is not very fun, but the staff is very helpful and the pub is nice! They have good breakfast too.

The hostel was great. My only comment was that on the Saturday night I had to share a room with 2 ten year old boys and their aunt. I do not think any of us was particularly happy about this. Most hostels have a rule about about no children in the dorms for the protection of the children and for the protection of the backpackers. I am not sure if this was a system failure or whether you may wish to consider updating you policy on this.

The price and cleanliness are probably the only redeeming factors of this hostel. The location is pretty far out of the center of London, and the tube closes at midnight so it makes it quite difficult to get to at night. There is no near bus stop. Very basic and if all your looking for is a bed, then you're fine.
