Palmers Lodge - Swiss Cottage Reviews

My third time here, and I'll keep coming back! The staff are great too. I arrived early in the morning I was supposed to check in and they even let me have breakfast at the hostel without charging me extra! Great place to stay in London.

I really enjoyed every bit of my stay at Palmers swiss cottage. The atmosphere is very nice and I can't wait for my next stay there. Thank you.

I would choose this place again when coming back to London and could strongly recommend to others!

Everything is good, just a bit far away from sightseeing, but transportation is convenience.

Very happy with my stay, staff are very friendly and helpful

I only had one problem one time when one of the showers was cold, but I moved down two stalls and it was all good!

the hostel is very clean (what is very unlike compared to other hotels) in the 2nd floor more bathroom could be usefull

verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry goooooooooooood :) thank you for good service.

This was my second stay at the Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage and it is one of the best hostels I have stayed at. The staff is always very friendly and helpful and I love how all of the beds have have privacy curtains. It is very close to a tube station as well. The building is very spacious and does not feel cramped like other hostels i have stayed at. I will definitely stay here again!

amazing hostel, very good comum area, free breakfast and free coffe, water and tee anytime, big rooms, good and cheap dinner in the bar, friendly and helpful staff, very near to metro underground. the unique problem is that you cant drink in the hostel if you cant buy the drink in the bar, so its impossible to drink cheap, because in London you cant drink in the streets, but this dont change the fact, that this is a great hostel.

Swiss Cottage was a wonderful hostel that had great rooms and facilities that really made you feel like you were in England. The staff was excited and happy to help and I truely enjoyed my stay.

It is a beautiful house and the staff very helpful and kind.It has a pleasant feel to it. The twin room we stayed in was very tiny but beds were decent. One cannot expect hotel standards in a hostel. Bathrooms were kept as clean as possible. We liked it

The hostel is easy to find and in a very pleasant location, the rooms are simple but clean, the bathrooms are regularly cleaned as well. There's plenty of seats in the tv lounge so you can relax, watch a game on tv or read books, while drinking free tea and coffee available 24h there. Computers are available, a phone charger vending machine too. The luggage rooms are outside the main building but the security is good so it's not a problem. Overall, a very good place to stay!

Loved staying here! The "train-style" beds are so comfortable and cool. Free breakfast, cool lounge room....and the hostel is housed in a Victorian mansion! It's a bit outside of London but worth the commute. I would definitely recommend it. (And if anyone has seen the movie What a Girl Wants with Amanda Bynes, this hostel reminded me of that one -- but a lot nicer!)

As I noticed in their sister hostel, the Hillspring in Willesden Lane, they DO NOT CHANGE THE DUVET COVERS when a guest moves. This time, I challenged the two cleaners there and asked why they don't change the duvet covers when a guest leaves the hostel. They replied they ONLY DO IT EVERY 7 DAYS OR WHEN IT'S SMELLY! They said it's their manager who tells them to do so. I asked also at the reception why. The guy there replied that maybe because I was on a budget price or something! Disrespectful!

There was a picture slightly out of place in the common room. To add there was a Spanish youth touching himself on the sofa.

Nicest backpackers hotel I have ever slept at...

The staff were welcoming and the mix of company in my room was engaging.

Great venue, very relaxing stay..

I needed somewhere to crash overnight before the London Marathon. I was arriving late, and leaving early. The staff were very welcoming, each bed has a curtain for privacy, and the breakfast was good.
