The Lodge at Crystal Palace Reviews

Despite the old building this is an excellent choice for anyone visiting for a short time to London. It's just next to the train station 26 minutes away from Victoria. My only problem were the lack of power outlet at mirror (how to shave with a corded electric shaver?), the jarring doors that may wake you up and the noise stairs that sounded like a drum when kids were hurrying for breakfast in the morning. Despite these small inconveniences I still recommend it.

Staff there made it a very homely stay

dated rooms, but everything needed was there, a bed, shower, secure rooms. breakfast was better than expected. prices on the high side for a hostel.

I have spent 2 nights in the hostel and paid a total of around 60 pounds, I have to say the carpet inside the room was dirty and not recently cleaned. I also took a shower and left the towel wet, but the day after it was still there so obviously nobody worried about cleaning the bathroom and changing the towel. Also the bathroom is so small, shower so tiny that I had to have the door open to fit in. good thing is the good breakfast included and location in the middle of the park, very silent

Wasn't impressed by this place. Got it for 30 pounds a night which would have been worth it except they made us pay an extra 30 pounds just to have two of us in the room even though we had booked a single bed. The place was small and what you would expect for 30 a night. Not a bad place if you don't care about atmosphere...very plain and simple. Cleanliness was ok...not great but not terrible. Location was far from city centre.Overall, worth it for 30 pounds but at 60 was definitely overpriced.

I enjoyed staying at this Hostel.

It was an OK hotel. The beds was not that comfortable, and much of the hotel was rather old and worn, but clean rooms and clean sheets. Walking distance to some restaurants nearby. A bit far from London city, took about 40 min with the Overground/Underground-system, but it was only 200 meters to the nearest station from the hotel.

Continental breakfast consisted of just bread.

Weird situation but I enjoyed it all the more for that. Sits in the middle of gigantic parkland. Commute to City is a pain, however would recommend to travellers looking to clear their heads. Local pubs etc within walking distance. No kitchen. Some large groups - nobody likes the French. Easy access to gym / swimming pool complex. Shared shower / bathroom is between two rooms only - relative privacy. Extended my stay twice.

What a nice place. Well worth the short train journeys to and from the city. A lovely and peaceful and clean place. An exceptionally good breakfast, good wifi reception in the rooms. Tree lined grounds, birds singing and only a short walk to the train station. I wish I'd had time to try the pool. Only problem was one of the two lifts out of order and a very long wait for the other one. But I can't wait to go back there.

Joan is an exception person & made my stay excellent! Thank you Joan for being so attentive & helpful

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Accommodation getting old and obviously needed major refurbishment especially bathroom, but for someone who just needs a warm comfortable place to sleep with a good breakfast and welcoming staff you couldn't do better.

Great location for courses being held at the National Sports Centre - amazing price for London accommodation!

super :-)
