Palmers Lodge
If you want to stay somewhere truly different then try the former home of Samuel Palmer, owner of the Huntley and Palmer biscuit empire! This substantial Victorian building has been tastefully converted and many original features have been retained for your enjoyment. You can book anything from a private ensuite room at Palmers Lodge to a bed in a dormitory that sleeps up to 14 people. If your budget does restrict you to a dorm bed you will find plenty of toilets and showers nearby.
After a good night’s sleep you will welcome the fresh continental breakfast that’s served in the dining room every morning (at an extra charge). In the evenings you can relax in the large lounge or head to the bar for a few drinks and the chance to chat to other people staying here. You will find flat screen TV’s dotted all over the place and if you need to contact friends and family there is free internet access and WiFi available in the lobby. Central London is only a few stops away on the tube from Palmers Lodge.

Palmers Lodge Reviews
Based on 10 Hotel ReviewsWhat a good deal! I have backpacked around many countries and I have stayed in several hostels in London, but Palmers Lodge is the best value. The ambience, staff and facilities are different from other hostels. It is nice experience for all
A very nice old-fashioned house with dedicated staff and good working facilities and car park - perfect altogether. There is even an ATM at the reception. Congratulations!
Very enjoyable stay, initially daunted by the size of the room, but the design allows fantastic comfort and privacy. Facilities both modern and immaculate. Would recommend Palmers Lodge over any other hostel to friends and family
Great customer support and amazing hostel booked through them
This was a great hostel for my 4 nights in London. It wasn't in Central London but so easy to get into. The tube station isn't far away. The rooms were really nice and very clean. Breakfast was ok and the bar was a great way to meet people. I enjoyed my stay at Palmers Lodge and I will be back in the future.
