The location is awesome, close to transit links. The space is welcoming and the staff are friendly and helpful. They even recognized me after having stayed here earlier this year. Also, there is something very special about staying with a group of people who have a basic similar interest - safe travel and new experiences. I highly recommend it for women seeking affordable hostel accommodations in London.

Pax Lodge

Hampstead, London

Pax Lodge is a hostel tucked away in the Belsize Park area of London and 5 minutes' walk from its Tube station. Free WiFi access is available. Extras include bed linen and a fan.

The hostel is 500 metres from Belsize Park, 700 metres from Hampstead and 900 metres from Finchley Road. London Heathrow Airport is 22 km away. When my friend and I arrived we were greeted by the absolutely wonderful staff! They took interest in our travels and provided us with some great touring tips. Our room was small but that’s what we expected for the fabulous price. It was everything we needed. The rooms were also kept very clean and the bed was quite comfortable. I was skeptical about sharing bathrooms but it just felt like dorm room bathroom. There was also never anyone else in there at the same time as me. The dining area and tv rooms were also a nice bonus to the property. Furthermore, the underground metro was less than 10 minutes away walking and the line got us to many amazing attractions in just 15 minutes. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting London.

Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage 4 stars

Hampstead, London

Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage provides award-winning budget accommodation in a beautiful Victorian Grade II listed building. The Lodge offers a bar and free Wi-Fi access in public areas, just 2 miles from the West End. The rating of 10 is due to the awesome customer service from Matt. He is exceptional! I checked in and went to my private room with private washroom but it was way too hot even with the window open. I know I cannot sleep in a hot room so I immediately informed Matt. He offered another room and helped me carry my heavy bags up the narrow steps to room 303 (which officially is not open to rent out currently but he made an exception). The room was perfect since it wasn't on the central heating system. I had such a great nights rest in the comfortable full-sized bed and the room was nice and cool. There was a toilet nearby outside of the room which also was very convenient. On top of giving me a room to meet my needs Matt offered a breakfast voucher for free to apologise for any inconvenience which was super thoughtful and very kind. Breakfast was good! The character and history of this building is so unique and is defiantly an experience staying there.
