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.

Very pleasant but personally I would like AC
The check in was smooth thank you for making us feel welcome. The facilities were clean, in good working order and there was complimentary tea and coffee. The shower was pleasant, nice and hot. Slight drawbacks were lack of air conditioning. The fan they provide is powerful but noisy. Oh and the lights in the bathroom turn off automatically if it doesn’t sense movement. Problem is if you are showering for longer than five minutes it’s turns off. It’s only a minor issue though

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.
