Palmers Lodge Hillspring - Hostel Reviews

Very nice hostel. Clean, organised, and extremely friendly and helpful staff. The free breakfast is basic, but enough to start your day. Five minute walk from tube station is very handy. The room was clean and secure with electronic card locks (you even get your own cupboard to secure your stuff, which is also secured with an electronic card lock, excellent!). Bunk beds were very easy to climb up. You can access the top bunk without disturbing anyone else. Shower facilities were good, albeit a little too few shower cubicles. Excellent hostel 10 minutes away from central London on the tube!

Felt very safe, especially being that I was traveling alone. cleanliness phenominal. Loved the wooden lodge feel.

I have no complaints about the hostel. Would stay there again .

Stayed here for about 2 weeks in the 22 bed dorm. The location of the hostel is kind of secluded, very secure as you need a card to get through the gate. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds are really comfortable, and feel very private despite sharing with over 20 more people. The showers were very clean - they clean the communal areas multiple times a day. My only complaint is that the shower temperature would fluctuate from scaldingly hot to cold every 20 seconds or so, but the pressure was nice and the stalls were a good size. Also, the self catering kitchen facilities were really nice, made eating much more reasonably priced. I recommend the place.

I thought the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food was very reasonably priced and tasty. For a hostel it was clean, and I was a particularly impressed on how clean the showers were with good hot water. The guests were respectful and having to get up early i was very appreciative of not being woken up. The only negative i have is that it was a little cold at night in my room, however the staff were so kind to get me an extra duvet.

Great - Friendly place and excellent value for money

great place. Lovely Bar and the really cute barmaid! We essentially needed the place the crash at night. Washrooms were excellently maintained considering they had to be shared, but too much bleach left me with a headache. The breakfast could have been better, and the coffee needs improvement. It has got a beautiful lounge with a few books. All in all 4/5

I stayed in a female dormitory- curtains didn't fit around bed properly, they were really tatty and falling down and seemed the same on other beds! The mattress didn't fit bed properly and stuff kept falling down back of bed! Somewhere to lock stuff away was extra and I didn't have any change! Really nosy in dorm, really bright and as curtains didn't fit it was really difficult to sleep! I appreciate it's not hostels fault about noise but they can improve privacy in bed and security! No breakfast until 7.30 which I guess is normal but too late for me! Maybe I'm just too old for hostels!!
