Everything was splendid ”

The Hostel is not only beautiful but also funcional to so many needs! There are even double bunk beds for couples. The showers are tiny but the was is hot and powerful! The pub downstairs is a really good addition to just chill or talk to people. My only bad comment is that the room in the attic is freezing and also no lift there. :( But all in all I would definetly stay there again.

Above average”

Pros: free tea and coffee, friendly staff, nice communal areas, good location near a train station, cheap drinks at the bar for happy hour Cons: showers are small with bad water pressure, if you get places on the top bunk they are very difficult to reach due to the cramped nature of the dorms, although not the hostels fault the kitchen is abisamally small to the point of being unusable, lift is tiny and old (we became stuck for 15 minutes and the staffs reaction made us think it is a common accurance).

The best place for me”

The location (nice area, plenty of shops, near tube station). The staff (friendly, efficient, helpful). The beds (comfortable, clean - the curtains afford the privacy I like). Then WiFi, personal power sockets, lovely house.

STAFF ALWAYS MISERABLE”

I have been coming to this hostel for the past 5 years due to the work location. This time around i dont seem to find the staff friendly. You ask them a question no smile, they seem fed up and tired. One thing that i found unprofessional was that staff amoungst themselves giving massages to each each other at reception???? The only one person that was helpful was the Manager Tom. He was amazing. just dissapoints. The hotel itself doesnt, the standard hasnt dropped at all. The staff need more training. Seems like they are doing a favor on us, whereas we are the ones increasing the business....

Very good”

I stayed at the hostel for one night. The bathroom facilities which combine toilet and showers was dirty; trash I'm the bin overflowing; sink area was not attended to either. A towel was not included ; it's rental was not expensive but still I wish I knew that ahead of time. No modern USB type charging stations; only those using the UK electrical system. Good location and friendly staff, clean linens and a lovely historic building but hygiene in the bathroom was definitely lacking.

Bad facility”

Bad facility, no hot water, which means you are going to shower with cold water in the winter! The room is stuffy and smelly. No socket on the bed so you can't charge. Wifi signal is very weak in the room.

Exceptional”

Very cosy and looked like one of those cottage houses from movies. 28 people in a "room" might seem a lot, but the "room" was actually a whole floor and the bunk beds made of very sturdy wood. I had curtains at my bed, and each person faces a different way when they exit their bed, so you won't come into any awkward encounters. Lighting could be better, and more power outlets, but it's very worth the money. Bathrooms were much cleaner than expected. Overall, a very pleasing stay!

Best Hostel. Would highly recommend”

This hostel ticked all the boxes. They were cleaned every day to a high standard both in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. I stayed in a 28 room dorm & a 12 room dorm and I never felt cramped and all the beds have a privacy curtain a personal locker for your valuables. There are plenty of facilities on all floors so you never have to wait for a bathroom. The bar downstairs is really good with happy hour everyday. The staff were also great. The only downside is that when i was staying there they didn't have a cook so the kitchen wasn't open, however the area has plenty of options to purchase cheap food. And the lift was broken but it was being fixed when i left

Friendly staff and cool building”

The room was bigger than I expected and the bed was quite nice for a bunk bed. Staff were super friendly. The bathroom could be little bit more clean though. Location was convenient. Overall, the place was quite nice considering general accommodation situation in London.

Nice location and Good stay!”

Overall it's very good :) I stayed at the top floor and slept well every night. The girls shared with the home were good, always kept silence. The breakfast is nice, you can have bread, fruit, ham&cheese, muffin, coffee... and you only need to pay 4.5 pounds. Very helpful and warm stuffs. Places are clean and they always clean up the washroom. I think it's worthy with the price, cheap, warm house, nice breakfast and close to many attractions.

most people are nice and bed is clean and comfortable...”

price is cheap but clean and comfortable.. location is also good

One of the best values for the money ”

If you are staying in London and want an iconic experience I would definitely recommend taking a look at this hostel. It looks like a very old building, but it is very nicely equipped. The rooms are very comfortable and one of the best dormitory rooms I have ever stayed in.

very nice place”

One of the best hostels in London, everything is cleaned regularly without the use of common areas. I recommend. There are travelers from all over the world.

Exceptional”

Good location. Room is clean and comfortable. Also, staff is nice and friendly. The breakfast is delicious and rich.

My Favourite Hostel”

I've stayed in lots of London hostel, Palmers Lodge is by far my favourite, really clean, unique decoration, i love the lounge, great value for money, awesome staff, I've met some really nice people passing through, i regularly recommend this place :-))

Comfortable stay”

The breakfast is value for money. The bunk bed is comfortable and there is sufficient storage area to keep the stuff. The toilet can be busy at certain part of the day so it's best to go early if wanted to avoid crowd. It's within short walking distant to nearest tube station. Supermarkets and small eateries can be found near to the tube station.

About Dwiss Cottage”

Swiss Cottage is convinience place go around in London. Nowadays, new staffs are working at Front section, so they need more tranning. Because their action is so slow. But original stuffs are very nice service . I but customers attitude are not good. They are making dirty, specially western people. They don't care..... Specially night time, they are talking with friends or new people outside. It is already midnight or one or two morning time. We cannot sleep well. They drunk and talking very loudly. Sometime nighttime stuff is don't care to them,. Hope staff say to them BE QUIET Or go to bed. I cannot recommend my friends to stay there,.

Weather recommend or not”

I like this hostel. Specially stuffs! But nowadays, this hostel accepted students group. This is very annoying.... We cannot relax at hostel and always noisy. We don't have a space if students are here. So I don't want to recommend this hostel To adult.

Excellent”

Palmar Lodge stuffs are very friendly and helpfull. but after the evening time, toilet become dirty. Why does customers cannot use toilet clearn ? also late night time, some customers are talking outside, this is very very annoying for another customers. nawaday, some customers, especially old people are using this hostel, they are treating this hostel their room, they are sleeping early time, for example from 8:00pm. they are turn off light immidetely and they are argue to young customers. ' if you want to talk with your frinds, go to the lounge etc' this hostel isn't their home and this hostel is their room. AS they are staying for long time this hostel, so very very annoying. They seems to work for constraction company. Atomospher is getting worth. also palmar lodge is not accept student group before, but nowaday, they accept student group as well. this is very annoying for individual customers. They are talking late time and make a noisy. even Told their teachers, but they don't care. if this hostel continue like this, we will give up use this hostel. hope hotel manager should thinking about these more.
