Amazing building. Great location. Very homey feeling. Rooms are very spacious. The only bad things is the banging doors. They should fix that. In a 28 people dorm having a door that keeps banging every time is open is such an issue when it comes to sleeping at night. The rest was pretty good. Very clean.

Great hostel It was my first hostel stay and I am pleased. Staff are friendly, the facilities are great and clean, the bed was comfy. Near Swiss Cottage and Finchley Road stations, really handy! There is a Tesco really close by too. Overall pretty great, recommend. :)

Palmers, Swiss Cottage, hospitality 5 stars I am a solo traveller in my later years and have rested in many hostels and hotels around the world.

Palmers Swiss lodge, Swiss Cottage, London, was one of the best stays I've experienced in recent years. The staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about how to get around locally and within the greater London area itself. The breakfast is superb (and so cheap for London). The building has a naturally relaxing atmosphere. Check the photos on Palmers website they capture the beauty of this listed building. The travel links into London central are really close by the hostel. Bus stops are 2 minutes walk and tube station at Finchley Road is only 5 minutes. If you have to catch the airport bus to Gatwick or Luton the stop is signed CL, just to the left of the tube station. I have to give Palmers 5 stars. Highly recommend a stay here. More read less

Great location and facilities Great and centrally located, within a minutes walk of the tube, and buses. The hostel was clean and well-maintained, and the privacy curtain was good on the bunk beds in the dorms. There was also hot water 24/7, and the beds were comfortable. Only down side was the number beds in the communal dorms, the lockers were too small, and due to the number of people in the dorm rooms, there was... read moreGreat and centrally located, within a minutes walk of the tube, and buses. The hostel was clean and well-maintained, and the privacy curtain was good on the bunk beds in the dorms. There was also hot water 24/7, and the beds were comfortable. Only down side was the number beds in the communal dorms, the lockers were too small, and due to the number of people in the dorm rooms, there was a lot of luggage in the room. Also the pub's music was too noisy, it was hard to talk, and the female dorm room overlooked the car park where people smoked and talked outside until after 12am. The upside was the hostel was clean, warm, safe, and centrally located to all the high street shops and local attractions. read less

Lovely accomodation I only stayed for one night but I loved the old building vibe. Cozy bunkbeds with everyone’s own curtains, very nice! Bathrooms were quite clean and the employee friendly so all in all I recommend

Very Cool Hostel in Central London As hostels go, this one is comfy, well decorated, and friendly. The common areas were varied and gorgeous, with lots of plugs for charging devices. The wi-fi is a bit slow at times, but reaches all areas of the building unlike many hostels I’ve stayed in. I did not try the food, but the bar staff were super kind and helpful and the drink selection was decent. I stayed in an 8... read moreAs hostels go, this one is comfy, well decorated, and friendly.

I did not try the food, but the bar staff were super kind and helpful and the drink selection was decent. I stayed in an 8 person dorm, each of the beds has a plug, lamp, locker drawer, and privacy curtain. It was pretty comfortable and very clean, though the locker drawer is a bit small (definitely can’t fit a suitcase in it) and there were no storage shelves anywhere (one near the bed would’ve been nice). It’s close to several bus and tube stops, and there’s a ton of food options within a 5 minute walk of the hostel. Overall I really liked it and would stay here again! More read less
