Palmers Lodge - Swiss Cottage Reviews

Wifi inside bedrooms has low power. Some bedroomn needs more space for bags.

My suitcase was stolen from deposit due to lack of baggage security. Only one young lady tried to help me, rest of staff didn´t do anything.

The location is a bit away from city center but that is what makes it more affordable i think. I felt it was a bit smelly with curtain and overall cleanliness of the places. Otherwise, great character, nice atmosphere, good staff, all the facilities provided.

Excellent stay at Palmer's Lodge. Very unique hotel with a lot to offer. Staff were very friendly and everything was super clean. Definitely recommended.

This hostel was the best place I've ever stayed at in London! I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm room and I thought it would be a bit loud, especially at night, but it was really okay. The people in my room were all very nice and I enjoyed talking to them. The breakfast was good and the bathroom was clean. Every room had its own wifi. The only thing I didn't quite like was the fact that on my last day a French school group checked in and they were really loud and ran around screaming all the time.

Great location and beautiful place. The room is a bit dark and the bathroom is a bit small. But overall it's a nice place to explore London. Plus it offers a very very good breakfast every morning!

The hostel was outside of the main center of town so we had to take the tube everyday. But it was really clean and had a very helpful staff. Also the decoration was awesome. I felt like I was staying in a Harry Potter movie.

Beautiful old building and area in the north of London!

You should know there is NO kitchen that you can use, just a microwave in their restaurante that is hard to use to cook. they also close that space really early ( 10pm). You should also know IT IS NOT a regular hostel, it's crowded with groups from high schools that go there with their teachers, so you'll be sourrended by teenagers screaming and running over solo travellers in their twenties. There's wi-fi in the rooms (but it doesn't always work). Breakfast included.

The dorms looked like something from Hogwarts. Each bed had individual curtains, which was awesome. I would definitely stay there again.

Nice, very clean hostel, love the private curtain & lights (easier to sleep with people coming and going in the rooms). Just needs more cooking facilities other than microwave, other than that great place to stay !

Had a fabulous stay, the staff where great & handy for the tube station, only downside was people snoring in the room lol but that can't be helped in shared facilities. Will definitely recommend this hostel to anyone coming over from Ireland or where ever I may be. Well done guys

Lovely place, great staff and perfect location

it was too cold in our room - couldn't sleep bc of that .......

The bathrooms are horribly disgusting with hair all over the place and nowhere to set your things and you have to push a button to run the water every 30 seconds. Besides the restrooms, the room was quite despite being very large and the place had great places to just hang out. The loft/bar area needs to be heated better. Also, the restaurant should take cards as the cash machine sometimes runs out of money.

The staff was very very friendly and helping at every time. The room, the bathroom were clean. Breakfast was ok for the price. The restaurant offered a lot of food for good prices. The food was fresh and tasty. You reach the hostel easily when you arrive from Stansted Airport by National Express A6.

I thought this hostel was in a great location. My only problem were the bathrooms being shared with men and women, with the execption of the all girls bed in the basement. On the hand there are nice size bedrooms and storage for your belongings.

Not in the center of London but it still worked because it was right next to bus stops and the tube. This made outside the hostel very quiet which was nice for sleeping. The only complaint we had was that their was a group of young teenagers staying and they were extremely loud late at night and early in the morning. Some of the boys were staying across the hall and the girls would camp in front of our room. We asked them to be quiet but they (and their purple-haired chaperon) would ignore us.

This is a nice hostel, but it is over priced. The location is right next to a metro station that will easily take you into central london, but the location itself is nowhere near central london. We were in the basement by the bar which was bad because it was very loud when we were trying to sleep. The breakfast included cereal, bread, coffee, juice, and milk. Lockers were small. Room looks better in pictures, kind of old and a little dusty/dirty.

Good overall. The facility was equipped with laundry, a restaurant, bar, and a lounge with computer access. The wifi in our room went in and out at times, generally pretty good. We stayed in an ensuite room and were disappointed by the size of our room in comparison to other rooms in our suite. We were the only one without room for a table, total room was a bunk bed and about 2 1/2 extra feet between us and the wall. Bathrooms were super clean. Staff was ok. Area is Super close to everything
