I would always go back there! It’s a nice place to stay when you wanna visit London but you don’t wanna spend a lot of money on the housing.

At least in second floor there was a tiny sink where people gathered in the morning to brush their teeth. Maybe just add it to the showerroom…?
But the rest was great! I’d come back!!!!!! <3 read less

The hostel is based on ina beautiful castle which is just outstanding. They have a nice bar downstairs with a great coffee machine where the coffee is free during breakfast and only 50 p after. There is also a beautiful lounge with a garden and lots of flowers around. The beds have got curtains so it adds that extra privacy when you need it. I love it! read less

As all hostels, there’s a lot going on. But one can unwind at their superb lounge. It wasn’t as clean as other hostels (mostly bathroom). But besides that everything was superb. I totally recommend this place. More read less

It is possible to have breakfast for £ 6.00. Otherwise there is a kitchen where you can prepare all meals.
The bar and dining room are great with music a pool table access to the terrace.
However, we preferred to spend the evenings in the lounge which is quieter and where you can read and relax with free tea or coffee or often chat with other travellers.
The staff were friendly and welcoming.
We will certainly stay there again the next time we are in London. read less

The main lounge is beautifully decorated, with plenty of space to relax and hang out with people or just sit and read. Tea/coffee & vending machine in there too. The long desk is perfect for using your phone or laptop as there are plenty of sockets provided (and all over the lounge) to charge them. Really comfy beds, with privacy curtains surrounding all bunks which is great if you want to sleep or rest during the day. There’s small bedside lamps as well, if you want to get changed in your bunk or read late at night without disturbing other guests by turning on the main light. My only complaint would be the key cards. These really need to be sorted asap. I had to get mine changed a number of times during my stay, which was especially annoying last thing at night when I just wanted to go to bed – but had to come back to reception to get it changed 4 times!! Was pleasantly surprised at how very clean all the toilets & shower rooms were, and to discover they also have a female only shower room if you don’t feel comfortable using the mixed ones. For my first ever stay in a hostel, I wasn’t sure it would live up to all the photos & reviews online… but it far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend Swiss Cottage!! All the staff were so lovely and helpful, you could tell they enjoy working there which really adds to the warm and friendly vibe of the place. read less

Not the most social. Amenities are nice. Only problem was the bed. The frame has no openings at either end and since I am fairly tall I could not extend my legs. If you are taller than 6’4 just be careful, you may have to curl up a bit. read less

Staff are helpful and friendly, it’s spotlessly clean, reception areas are too class, bathrooms always clean with hot water. It’s a convenient location with loads of public transport and shops nearby.

But please sort out your door key cards!! I had to have mine reprogrammed four times on one day! I don’t mind standing in my boxers at reception after being locked out of my room after going to the shower. I have a gorgeous body, but it might put off some of the other guests! Another couple had to reprogramme their card three times on the same day. This happens every time I stay and it’s the only negative. I’m very careful with card clash and keep my card in a special holder. Please guys sort this out then it would be absolutely perfect!! More read less
