So you\u2019re planning a trip to London. You\u2019ve got your itinerary down (Big Ben, London Bridge, anything Harry Potter related, etc), you know exactly what you want to eat and drink (fish \u2018n chips, cold beer from the pub), and you know exactly where you\u2019re going to stay. Hold up, you don\u2019t know where you\u2019re going to stay? We get it, finding accommodation in London can be a headache. You want to stay close to the sights, but don\u2019t want to pay upwards of 100 pounds per night for a dingy room in a run down apartment. Fair enough. Luckily, we\u2019ve got you covered. <\/span><\/p>\n

We chose the Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage<\/a><\/span> because it checked all of our boxes for London. Close to the city? Check. Affordable? Check. Awesome vibes without being an all out party hostel? Check. It was an awesome experience, without breaking the bank. What more could you ask for in foggy London town? Here\u2019s why we loved it so much:<\/span><\/p>\n

Rooms & Facilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you first enter the building, you\u2019d swear you just stumbled into a room in the Hogwarts castle. The hostel itself is located in a beautiful Victorian building that screams traditional London. The dark wooden doors and red velvet upholstery give it a classy, almost luxurious feeling you don\u2019t usually find in a hostel. There\u2019s a large common room with free coffee and tea all day long, perfect for that caffeine boost you\u2019ll need after a long day of sightseeing. The bar and restaurant downstairs has a variety of food on offer, including a buffet breakfast. The rooms themselves are fairly average size. Dorm beds have big curtains for some extra privacy. Our private was small, but cozy. Bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus, and unisex, which is good to know when you step out of your shower and come face to face with a 6\u20195\u201d Swedish man.<\/span><\/p>\n

Location<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The location was fantastic. The Palmer\u2019s Lodge is in a good neighborhood with plenty of food options around. When you want to go into the city center, the tube is just a few minutes walk and pretty easy to navigate. On a good day it took us only 10 minutes or so to get to the main sights. We found this really useful on days when we wanted to come back to the hostel and rest for the afternoon before heading back out at night.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re flying in from Stansted Airport, the National Express drops you off just a short walk from the hostel. We had a late flight into Stansted and instead of finding a pricey hotel room near the airport, or pulling a full backpacker and sleeping in the uncomfortable chairs in the airport, we were able to bus to the hostel. Palmers Lodge has 24 hour check-in and even at 3 am the front desk staff was very welcoming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Value for Money<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Palmers Lodge is great value for money. London is <\/span>really<\/span><\/i> expensive. Finding a cheap room in the city is almost impossible. It\u2019s very common for backpackers and budget travelers to stay just outside of the center. Breakfast isn\u2019t included but you can purchase a full continental buffet breakfast for just a few pounds. It\u2019s a great way to start a big day of sightseeing and much cheaper than anything you\u2019ll find near the tourist sights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traveler Vibes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The big common rooms mean there\u2019s plenty of space for relaxing at the hostel and meeting new friends. They have games and computers available for use. Breakfast in the morning is a great place to meet fellow travelers to explore the city with. <\/span><\/p>\n

At night, there\u2019s always music and at least a few people enjoying a mug of fresh cold beer. We had a room on the lower level and never had any problems sleeping at night because of loud revelers. When you find a hostel that you can both party at or get a good night’s sleep, you\u2019ve hit the jackpot. <\/span><\/p>\n

Overall we had a fantastic time at the Palmer\u2019s Lodge Swiss Cottage. From the moment we booked our reservation to the time we finally said goodbye, \u00a0the staff was attentive and friendly. It\u2019s no wonder the Palmers Lodge has won so many awards for the best hostel in London. From great value in price to excellent facilities, it\u2019s definitely our top pick for budget accommodation in London. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nPalmers Lodge Swiss Cottage London Review | Don't Forget To Move<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Looking for the best budget accommodation in London?
