Very lovely and welcoming! Also I liked having activities; as a solo traveler that travels spontaneously, this is a great help for planning your trip

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. I don’t think I would stay at another hostel when in London. The property is clean, safe, bright and airy, and the staff is lovely. Camden is close by and an easy walk. I love this place.

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. Wonderful building, brings you back to the Victorian times. I loved especially wooden bunk beds, which are solid and do not move every time somebody on the upper bed turns around unlike metal beds found in most other hotels. Also, the hostel has everything a traveler could need, so you will have a great time staying here. Finally, I loved that they had huge fans in rooms during hot days in London.
