I stayed here recently for a few days with a friend, and overall it was a really cool hostel. The building itself was gorgeous, as well as clean and well kept up, the common room was lovely and had free tea and coffee. Breakfast was alright, not too bad or anything exceptional. Swiss Cottage itself is pretty far removed from... More

I stayed at Palmers Swiss Cottage for two weeks in three different rooms, a 12 bed female only dorm, a 9 bed mixed dorm and a 12 bed female ensuite dorm. Overall my experience was a positive one. There were a few issues that could be addressed, but they are really quite minor compared to other hostels I have stayed... More

This building is beautiful. The showers are clean. The bathrooms are clean. The staff is good. There are some noise problems at night from other people. Kind of afraid my stuff was gonna get stolen the whole time. Breakfast is fine, the usual. But there's an exciting little lounge where you can buy tea and things like that.

I stayed here for 7 nights. I was travelling alone. When I arrived I was immediately welcomed by a lovely member of the staff, she was very friendly and helpfull. (Big plus!) I booked a 12 beds - all female - ensuite room. There were only two beds available in the room I booked and she let me check out... More

I stayed here for a single night; my favourite band were playing in Camden, and I needed somewhere cheap to stay that was close to the venue. I drove (which put me very much in the minority) but was pleasantly surprised by the safe, off-road parking. I shared a mixed-sex dorm room. There were 18 beds in total, and by... More

If you book this hostel they cash a week in advance your money and more than is written on the sites. If you cancel in time, the extra money this lodge cashed in, is not refunded! This hostel invented their own administration costs, which you always have to pay. The same as Hostelbookers does, with the difference that you are... More

I booked the double ensuite room for four nights and then my plan changed that I had to stay another night in London, so I tried booking again and the double room were all gone so I had to book for a different twin room for the additional night. When I arrived in the early morning, I find the left... More
