Guest Reviews

• Mariia (10/5): -
• Marta (10/5): Wonderful for super low price - OMG definitely an amazing location for such a low price. Staff there were absolutely incredible, very friendly and welcoming. Our room was very clean and so were the shared toilets/showers. I left my wedding ring there, I didn’t realise it until hours after we left. I called the reception and staff literally run back to the room to look for it. Luckily , they found it and posted it to me without any issues. Next time we are in London, we will definitely be back at PAX! Everything was perfect!
• Catherine (8/5): -
• Chambers (9/5): AS I EXPECTED THANK YOU. - ? ?
• Samantha (10/5): - Location and free parking, brilliant service, very budget friendly Mattresses abit uncomfortable but cannot complain for the price!
• Vaska (10/5): -
• Timothy (10/5): Reminded us of old days in Scouts and guises w - Just great nice, simple and economical Na
• Isabella (9/5): Lovely stay - Wonderful hostel, comfortable, very organized, lovely staff. They offer a very simple breakfast for £5, which helps get a fuel for the day. The location is wonderful, peaceful and close to the underground station and main lines - which makes it very easy to go around london. Very simple accommodation but perfect for a more budget friendly trip to London
• Maria (6/5): Ok - Location Price quality do not match
• Giulio (9/5): Molto bene - E' la terza volta che soggiorniamo. La posizione è bellissima, il personale davvero sempre gentile e di aiuto. La struttura ha quello che serve, inclusa un area comune per bevande, riscaldamento cibi, tostatura pane e panini. Complice le temperature eccezionali del periodo. (>32°C - >90°F) nelle camere di notte era veramente caldo e le finestre per motivi di sicurezza si aprono molto poco.
• Cheryl (8/5): -
• Chris (9/5): - Nice, functional room clean and in lovely quiet area, but close enough to the tube to get around. Water pressure in the shower could have been better
• Ewa (8/5): Overall enjoyed my stay - Location. Cleaniness Very small bed. No shelfs in bedrooms.
• Natalie (10/5): -

• Sonia (7/5): - Las chicas de recepción muy amables y su cometido sin ánimo de lucro de gils scout me parece genial ☺️ Todo limpio Las duchas tenían muy poca presión y salía poca agua. Las camas pequeñas.
• 미진 (10/5): - It was lovely, location , facilities and cleanliness. Also, everyone is kind. 😊 Bad is small , so its not enough for taller people .

• Dave (10/5): -
• Catherine (9/5): -
• Kata (9/5): I would recommend this place if you are looking for a calm and clean hostel in London. - Beautiful neighborhood, close to the underground, many cafés and shops around. Good price for value, very nice staff, easy communication and clear informations everywhere. The room was clean, even had a fan and a kettle, the shower was really nice too. There is a 0-24 dining room where we could keep and refrigerate our food, which was nice. We are not associated with WAGGGS but this didn’t bother anyone, the staff was welcoming and kind. There was a fire drill at 7 am on a Thursday that we were not told about beforehand so it was annoying, but it seemed that not all the staff new about it either.
• Yaiza (9/5): - Tiene buena comunicación con toda la ciudad por metro y bus. El staff es muy amable. Algunas duchas tienen poca presión.
• Isabel (10/5): Buen sitio para dormir en Londres - Lo que más me gustó es que el hotel está una zona muy tranquila y no había ruido por las noches. Está bien comunicado y hay un parque espectacular cerca. Además las instalaciones estaban limpias y cuidadas y el personal fue amable.
• Finn (10/5): - Perfect location, fun and interesting place. Good to support a worthy charity and lots of character (the opposite of bland chain hotels). The suite has full self catering facilities and the free parking is a real gift.
• Diane (8/5): - Staff very friendly. Great location Vaule for money Definitely will stay again
• paul (9/5): -
• Lee (10/5): Happy couple - Friendly staff on reception. Was welcomed with smiling faces. The smiling faces continued throughout our stay. Thank you very much. We liked everything. Perfect location for our requirements.

• tina (8/5): Wonderful little place ❤️ - Everything but the beds …. Only one bad thing were the beds … mattresses were too hard , very uncomfortable , never slept . Such a shame as the place itself was lovely … very clean
• Guest (7/5): -
• SCHRAEN (10/5): - Charmant quartier. Logement très propre Lits confortables, pas de bruit la nuit. Nous avons très bien dormi. Proche du centre de Londres! Génial !

• Catherine (8/5): -
• Jenifer (10/5): - A true gem, Pax Lodge has parking, was extremely clean, quiet and in the perfect location. So easy to get to the Hampstead Heath for nature walks, and into town via the Underground. Will definitely stay here again.
• Clariewyn (10/5): -
• Florencia (7/5): -
• Angela (7/5): - Very friendly staff . Nice area. Good transport links into central London Mattresses were a bit hard.

• Lucie (7/5): -
• Bojana (4/5): It was ok for one night but would prefer not to go back. - Our hosts were very nice and room clean Incredibly bad acoustics of the room, corridor doors next to our room kept slamming and we can hear people talking even from rooms that were 3 doors down the corridor. Also water flushing toilet could be heard right above our heads inside the room.
• cerruti (9/5): - Il quartiere è molto bello. La struttura è pulita e ci sono tutti i servizi importanti (asciugamani, refill acqua, cucina etc) Nulla!
• Dean (7/5): - Good value and clean Quite noisy from other guests speaking in the corridor
• Caroline (8/5): - Simple but perfect, very clean
• Nathalie (8/5): Un endroit où je reviendrai - Son emplacement, le personnel.
• Allan Banks (9/5): Great for a convenient night's sleep - Value, Location, Parking, friendly staff, ease of access. Nothing to dislike, communal toilet block might not be for everyone, but they were clean and well laid out.

• Harry (10/5): Great Value for a London Base - We took a family suite for the two of us. This gives us plenty of space for the cost. Although basic the accommodation is perfectly adequate. It is well back from the main roads so is very quiet for a London booking.

• ODETA (9/5): Excellent option for a short stay in a beautiful location with very helpful staff - I arrived late evening and the reception was still open manned by a very polite and professional young lady, Ophelia, who made me feel welcomed and " at home" immediately; she explained very clearly to me all the check in procedures as well as how to regain access if I went outside after quiet hours which are from 22h00 through to 08h00 to provide quiet time for all residents. The room was perfectly adequate for a short stay - bed a little bit hard for me but I fell asleep so it was fine. The showers and WCs were very clean and well maintained. I did not have any breakfast there as I had already planned to meet up with a a friend who lives not far from Pax Lodge. The location is excellent - in the heart of NW3, Belsize Park and close to Hampstead Village and Heath too; about 7 minutes walk to the Underground station but also on 2 or 3 bus routes too so great location and excellent value for money too. The wifi for me could have been better - for some reason I could not connect neither to the accommodation wifi nor to my UK telephone provider but I was able to access the wifi in a nearby Pret A Manger so all was good for me.
• linda (9/5): - Location Super friendly staff Excellent value for money
• Odile (3/5): -
• Elena (10/5): È stato davvero un soggiorno di pace, accoglienza, tranquillità. Pulizia incredibile. Tutto perfetto. Una doccia enorme - L’ostello più calmo, pulito, silenzioso, rilassante che abbia mai frequentato, e viaggio solo per ostelli. Magnifico
• Jean (9/5): Extremely warm welcome, very helpful and friendly staff - Everything Nothing
• Veronika (9/5): -
• Maria (8/5): well located warm and comfortable - Loved everything but the mattresses are too dense The showers are not powerful enough
• veikka (10/5): -
• Mark (5/5): - Tanke stene. Nočni mir - ne velja. Sosed je naglas govoril do nekje 2eh zjutraj. S tako tankimi stenami smo ga popolnoma razumeli kaj je govoril. To se ne sme dogajat. Razen tega je bila nastanitev OK.
• Manon (8/5): Sympathique pour un cours séjour - L’accueil était très bien et l’emplacement également ! Les lits étaient vraiment durs et l’isolation vraiment minime, on a eu la malchance d’avoir un groupe de garçons dans la chambre d’à côté qui a discuté toute la nuit, on entendait tout. Prévoir des boules quies!
• Elaine (10/5): Great value, no frills, free parking - Good value, safe parking, clean, friendly staff.very basic, but it had everything we needed including diy laundry facilities. Close to the tube line. Free parking Everything was fine. This is a no frills establishment. It delivered what was expected.
• Giovanna (8/5): -
• Enola (10/5): -
• Rosie (8/5): We very very impresed with this comfy, clean hostel and would definitely return. - Pax Lodge was spotlessly clean, very well appointed and the staf were friendly and efficient - it was an excellent value place to stay in London and was much better than I was expecting a hostel to be. Nothing - it was great
• Toko (8/5): - Friendly staff, rooms were clean, good Location No option for late check out
• Susan (7/5): -
• Cyrille (8/5): Perfectly located, friendly, very affordable, no thrills accommodation. Loved it! -
• Karolina (9/5): -
• Michelle (10/5): Once a guide always a guide - Pax Lodge is a place where members of WAGGGS can go to experience the reason why we are Guide Leaders in Australia. It's a place you can meet other members from all over the world. It's close the station for sightseeing in London. It is my 3rd time staying at Pax Lodge. 1992, 2014 and now 2025 x 2 weeks. Taking the Pax Lodge pledge is something we will never forget. This was not around in the other years I have stayed there.. 1992 to stay at Pax Lodge you had to have a letter saying you were a member of WAGGGS, now it's available to book on bookings.com. The kitchen needs to be where one can cook their own meals. Install and induction cooktop, have cookware available to be used. Put plates out to be accessed, have cooking utensils available. As Pax Lodge is a hostel it needs to be set up like other youth hostels.
• linda (9/5): -
• Lee (10/5): - Friendly staff on reception for checking in and out. Explained everything on our arrival about communal areas and breakfast. Made us feel welcome. There is nothing not to like. Great location.
• Minna (10/5): - Everything was great! Location, cleanliness of the rooms, friendly staff. peaceful environment...This hostel is excellent value for money. Much better than the party hostels that we have previously stayed in London. Will deffo return- thanks!
• Patrizia (10/5): -
• Stephanie (8/5): -
• Beata (7/5): - Friendly stuff Street noise
• Giulio (9/5): Pax al Paax Lodge - Seconda volta al Pax Lodge. Si riconferma un'ottima scelta. Posizione eccellente, buon servizio generale, pulizia e staff molto cordiale. Come credo di aver scritto nella precedente recensione è un vero peccato che una struttura che ha a disposizione una cucina attrezzata cosi bene, non offra il servizio di colazione, ovviamente a pagamento.
• Maria (10/5): Coming back in January - Everything it was safe, well located, facilities are good and the staff lovely. You can also park which is a onus
• Ulrike (8/5): -
• Fernansa61 (8/5): A place to return - The kindness of the employees. The surroundings are lovely, with houses near the tube stations, good restaurants, and a supermarket. The huge and fantastic Hampstead Heath park. A basic but cheap breakfast. The dining area features a microwave, toaster, grill, and complimentary coffee and tea. The insulation between rooms is poor; the first night, we had people talking at 3 am, and they didn´t shut up even when we knocked on the wall. The second time was similar at 11:30 pm, but the ladies stopped as soon as we knocked.
• Nicolas (9/5): - Personnel très accueillant. Auberge très propre et calme. Bon emplacement pour visiter Londres Super rapport qualité prix RAS
