Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage

THE BUILDING IS VERY STYLISH, THE STAFF ARE EXTREMELY NICE AND HELPFUL!

Most of the staff th area, the building is magnificent

The bar man x Massimo, he was a nasty piece of work. All the staff and the facilities where amazing, but, this one guy completely destroyed the ideal stay.

The building is very pretty, interior is nicely decorate and cozy. The beds are comfy with good curtains. Location looks far away but most hostels require you hop on the Tube anyway so it all takes the same amount of time to get anywhere. Nearby supermarket, nightlife, and lots of restaurants. The bar is popular at night, hostel puts on lots of events. It's cheaper than other London hostels but on par with quality, I think

Our room smelled bad, bad enough you never could "ignore" it. Would have switched if staying more than one night. Other rooms have shoe racks outside, they should just do that for every room. There is one too many bunk beds for the area of the room so it's very cramped. Our wing had only one bathroom (the opposite wing had two, but one was closed). They get crowded and pretty nasty quickly, despite decent cleaning There's really only one hangout area not including the bar but there's a ton of people in the hostel.
