Barmy Badger Backpackers

Kensington, London

Popular points of interest near Barmy Badger Backpackers include Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington Underground Station and Royal Albert Hall. The nearest airport is London City Airport, 20 km from the hostel. Barmy Badgers was wonderful. Shout out to Josh at the front desk for being an absolute Pal. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the cozy, comfortable atmosphere. They have a rec room with a large couch, perfect for relaxing or for mingling with some of the other visitors. The staff is fantastic and very knowledgeable about the surrounding area, they gave me some pointers regarding places to check out. The kitchen had everything you’d want for a quick light breakfast, nothing overly fancy, but perfectly adequate. The rooms were exactly as described, and I couldn’t find anything to complain about. The location is without question fantastic, just 200m away from the Earls Court train station, and walking distance to a variety of stores, restaurants, and pubs. Like I already mentioned, what made this experience worthwhile were the people. Everyone was incredibly kind and easy to get along with, I had some great conversations with some of the others staying, there was immediately a sense of welcoming hospitality that you don’t unfortunately don’t experience everywhere. I would absolute recommend this place to others and will be staying here again next time I’m in London. Cheers!

Pax Lodge

Hampstead, London

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. My stay at Pax Lodge was a very positive experience. I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the facilities. The rooms and bed were very comfortable, the staff was extremely friendly and it was very quiet as they have silent hours. Also loved the neighborhood and will definitely book Pax Lodge again on my next stay in 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 staff was very considerate and emphatic. They did not seem stressed or impatient. I liked the bar because it is nice to have a night cap on the premises. Also, the partiers stayed there and the rooms were quiet. I was really impressed that there was a lift, because I have arthritis and sometimes stairs are a challenge.
