Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage - Hostel

Staff was friendly most of the times Rooms were clean and quiet

Very small kitchen Bathroom is shared, and there is no privacy I was in the basement floor in August, very hot at night and no fans

Definitely one of the better managed dorm style lodgings in London. A true treat central location

Drains in sink and shower weren't draining well and a bit clogged. Room was too warm without the noisy floor fan circulating air

The location was great, and the staff were excellent. The receptionists were nice enough, and very professional. Breakfast was well worth the money, and the lounge was excellent to catch up to my day in the morning. Very pleasant.

To my great chagrin, the bed was just barely long enough for me to fit into (this seems to be a theme in the UK). The shower was absolutely tiny, but for the kind of shared rooms, having a shower is all I expected. There could have been a power socket in the room, but having one in the lounge was good enough.

Very well located and nice staff at reception. The beds have their own curtain which i think it's very helpful to keep privacy. I had to pay an extra for breakfast but it ended up being very good for the price.

Check-out's a bit early.
