What exactly is a boutique backpacker? The word “Boutique” is definitely one that means different things to different people. To us, in creating a new hostel, it means attention to detail and a personalised experience for all our guests.

At Palmers Lodge we have spent the time and effort to find the best quality furnishings to make your stay as memorable as possible.

A feature of the Hillspring Lodge is our bespoke wooden beds with privacy curtains, hand crafted Jacobean timber built in 1880. Hillspring Lodge is furnished with a mixture of antiques, modern classics and salvaged furniture from architectural sites, carefully sourced and selected by reclamation and design specialists who supply quality items to many London boutique establishments.

Inside your room there is no shortage of secure storage space and electricity sockets because we know how important it is to keep your appliances charged when travelling abroad. The bathrooms are always clean and the hot water won’t run out, and where else can you find free wireless internet?

We strive hard to give the most friendly customer service we can. We employ only those people who know what it means to be a traveller in a foreign country, and genuinely go out of their way to help our customers feel like they are valued guests in our home, rather than just a number.

We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you arrive at Palmers Lodge or Hillspring Lodge. Whether it is the beautiful Victorian building, spacious communal areas or superior facilities on offer, we are certain you will be impressed by what we have created. It’s the awareness of our customer’s expectation of quality that sets us apart from other hostels, and if you do decide to stay with us you can be confident you have chosen the most unique hostel experience London has to offer.
