Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage

Safe location. Swiss Cottage Underground is in Zone 2 and is 2 min away. Tesco, Superdrugs , Boots, M&S Foods, KFC, McDonald's, Subway and a small food market nearby. Very clean. Strong and hot shower. Nice and efficient staff. Heritage touches.

Very strong bleach smell. Towels were 2 pounds per use. Laundry 7 pounds to fully wash and dry. Constantly tripping over luggages and belongings. Only one hook per bed meant coats on the bed or the floor. Free locker space only for some personal items. No lights out or on rule led to some conflicts. One female only washroom with 2 sinks, 4 toilets and 5 showers. Sign is there but is missed. Witnessed 2 men using it.

Staff. Absolutely fantastic. Used to work in there and the spirit has been kept. Really hope management is treating them as they deserve.

Pricy breakfast. Used to be cheaper, and prices increased even though the quality remains the same. That could have improved.

Staff were super friendly, bar had a great vibe and the curtains on the beds were great!

Some the rooms didn’t have much room for bags

Just go! The place is amazing and comfortable. The best hostel that I’ve ever been! :)
