Hostelworld says:

Palmers Lodge - Swiss Cottage is set in what one Hostelworld reviewer calls a 'spacious, lovely old mansionette' with a distinctly Victorian English atmosphere. Many of our users say they 'would always go back' to this hostel when in London. The 'knowledgeable', 'lovely and helpful' staff are frequently praised for providing 'very focused, personalised attention' to guests, while visitors can 'meet new people and have a good laugh' in the downstairs pub. We like that most of their bunk beds have privacy curtains, creating personal space even in a busy dorm.
