This property is is well situated to both the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines, and it has great overground connections. It bills itself as both a hostel and boutique hotel, which leads to confusion as the online FAQ are about the hostel, while the private rooms appear to have different, unwritten rules, but sometimes have the same rules? For our private room, we were informed we would have to rent towels, then that towels were included. We were never told we couldn't eat or drink in the room, and there was a coffee/tea station in-room, but were stopped from bringing food and drink in as it was against the rules. So, there were some contradictions that hampered the ease of our stay. Also good to know is that they don't allow check-in before 2PM even if the room is ready, making for a long queue at exactly 2PM. We found this out after a different staff member had said we could check-in, and another person was checking-in directly in-front of us at 12:45. But we weren't permitted to check-in. So. There are some communication challenges at this establishment. The room was clean and comfortable though, and it was conveniently located.

I really loved this spot, I had a single room so I can't comment on the common sleeping areas. It was overall clean and welcoming. They had great common spaces to sit and relax. The only mini flaw is that the kitchen is really small and when the hostel is full, you may be waiting a while to use it, but at least there is a kitchen!! I would stay here again.

I booked an all female 8 bed room, and had I known it would be in basement, which was by far the least updated and most dirty of the floors, I would have booked at another location! The bathrooms were filthy, and the doors were so heavy, you heard everyones coming and goings throughout the night- and with a pub on the basement level, that was frequent! Overall this was not an enjoyable stay, and I feel completely bamboozled having been placed in the basement, which isn't clear in the pictures and I will note that the pictures that are on the listing page for the property of the basement rooms look SIGNIFICANTLY better than the room I was actually placed into. The only reason this isn't a one star rating is because the location was good being close to two tube stations, but otherwise absolutely dreadful and I would NOT recommend!

A clean room and comfortable beds for reasonable fees in this beautiful and fascinating Victorian building. Breakfast in their restaurant was hearty and delicious and totally worth it. Location is close to Tube and buses, easy walks. All staff was friendly and helpful. That said the doors are all very substantial and you hear people opening and closing doors at all hours. Overall A- and I would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous safe experience for solo female
Very safe and clean experience- friendly welcome for reception desk every time I passed. Private curtains around bed plus huge storage drawer underneath that held my entire rucksack! Showers clean, hot and powerful. Lovely breakfast with fresh pastries and loads more choice in pleasant area. Recycling points everywhere. Lots of space in room. Women only room plus next door toilets/showers. Lovely hostel, the best I've stayed in!

Palmers Lodge was a hospital, converted some time ago to a hostel. So, it is large. There is a delightful cafe area downstairs serving beer, and with garden seating. They have organized activities each evening. Laundry facilities are limited but a plus. The price was amazingly low for London. Camden is a neighborhood on the rise, just 20-30 minutes by Tube from any destination in London you might choose. The two convenient Tube stations are three minutes away by foot.

The problem was some guests, not the place
We needed a room as we were in transit between 2 flights and I didn't want to pay a lot of money for an apartment which I could not have taken advantage of. The installations was good, the place is very charming, the employees were kind, but the guests in our dormitory were not all respectfull. Some came to bed in the middle of the night, but made a lot of noise during their installation, and talked relatively loud (I had to say "shhht" after 5 minutes of speaking loud for them to stop talking). In the morning, an alarm rang at 5 am but the one who put this alarm didn't turn it off before 3 o 4 minutes so we weren't able to sleep again.

I stayed in a 12-person room, which shared a communal bathroom with the whole floor. The bathroom trashcans were always overflowing, and there were cobwebs near the sinks. The showers were not individual stalls, and the drains were a little bit clogged, so there was always a growing puddle of water on the shower floors if more than one person was showering at once/consecutively. - The beds in the 12-person rooms are bunked three beds high. I was in the top bunk; and when you sit up in bed, you can easily see into other people's bunks because the privacy curtains do not reach to the ceilings, just to the top of the bed post. That extra privacy is an amenity all 8 of the lower bunks get to benefit from, which is disappointing since being so close to the ceiling means I was also exposed to the dust and bugs that congregate up there. The bed itself was clean, but the walls and ceilings were not. I was so concerned about it that I slept with a mask on every night. I understand that staying at a hostel means I am not paying for hotel-level services, but surely the standards can be higher than this. If I return to London, and if I stay at Palmers Lodge, I will not be staying in a communal room again. I will end my review with a positive impression of the staff. The maintenance person was very helpful and willing to lend me his tools to fix the broken zipper on my bookbag.
