Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage

Location was good. Nice part of London. Close to local transport options. Overall nice building and lounge area and bar area.

Didn’t like the triple bunks. Room was warm because of weather but top bunk was hot. Didn’t like the shared bathroom set up. It didn’t offer much privacy at all. Females had access to their own facilities but often used the shared during busy hours making it hard to get ready comfortably. They also cleaned the bathrooms every morning around 9am which is peak time for people using them, rather strange.

the price, The building’s architecture, the interior design, the breakfast & breakfast room, the fact that you can use lockers and downstairs restrooms even b4 checking in, the super-friendly and helpful staff, the cosy bunkbed with a feel of privacy, the close proximity to cool locations such as primrose hill, abbey road studios, camden town, the ‘no-age-restriction’, the lounge area that is also useable b4 checking-in, the option of female-only rooms, fellow female solo travellers, the vibe of the guests…

i was there during a very hot few days and, even though they did put up a huge (and very loud) fan in the room, it was pretty warm even at night;

It’s a very clean, the stuff are always helpful and friendly, (shout out to Nik) , it’s located very close to underground and buses, there is a nice bar and a big common room and a garden

The kitchen unfortunately is very small and cramped and it’s quite difficult to move around there when there are more than two people

Eigentlich eine tolles altes Haus und eine gute Idee, das für junge Reisende zur Verfügung zu stellen. Kontinentales Frühstück ist in Ordnung.

Zu heiß in der 2. Etage, mehrfach nach Ventilator gefragt, wurde immer wieder vergessen, offenbar gibt es nicht genug Ventilatoren, um alle Zimmer zu versorgen. Es war zu warm im Zimmer, um schlafen zu können, Lüften war nur bedingt möglich, weil Fenster sich nur halb öffnen lässt. Sehr laut durch die beiden stark befahrenen Straßen vor dem Fenster und die Menschen im Hof, die sich nachts unterhielten. Doppelbett mit 135cm sehr eng für 2 Erwachsene, 3. Bett unfassbar unbequem und hart, Zimmer nicht verdunkelbar. Wahnsinnig teuer, Preis-Leistung stimmt hier einfach überhaupt nicht. Sind vor lauter Müdigkeit einen Tag früher abgereist und haben ein klimatisiertes, ruhiges Zimmer im Stadtzentrum für den gleichen Preis bekommen.
