I stayed at Palmer’s Lodge twice. Both stays were great. The staff is sic helpful; I arrived before checkin but they have a place to store luggage so I left my bags and headed out to explore unencumbered. The breakfast is good if mostly carbs and the pub is fun and friendly. I really recommend this hostel to anyone going to London. – Erin D, Yelp, Feb 2011 … we are all full of praise for this hostel. The staff were always friendly. The lounge is the perfect place to meet people from all over the world and relax after a busy day in London. Free access to the internet is a treat and was used regularly by my students and myself. – Calmdown_11, TripAdvisor, Nov 2011 More vouchers from Groupon  Travel  Accommodation  Hotels  Travel Getaways  Hotels Getaways Further deals in this category 1. Overnight Stay For Two With Golf or Massage for €105 at The Nuremore Hotel Country Club Up to €260 Value 2. Night For Two With Breakfast, Wine on Arrival, and Massage for €99 at The FourStar Fitzwilton Hotel Value €281.50 3. Seven Nights in the Algarve for Two Couples or a Family of Four With Wine Tasting Tour of Sir Cliff Richard’s Vineyard for €113.53 Up to €432.68 Value 4. €75 for a 4 ­week Summer Blitz with Dietician Harritte Lynch as featured in the RTE TV Show €228 5. Seek out Some Sun with a Luxury Moroccan Escape for Two at the Sirayane Boutique Hotel and Spa, Marrakech €369 for a ThreeNight Mini Break Worth €705, €449 for Four Nights Worth €940 or €749 for Seven Nights Worth €1,645 Further deals in this city 1. County Mayo Two Night Stay For Two With Breakfast and Appetisers for €99 at Westport Country Lodge Hotel Up to 59% Off 2. County Meath Two Night Stay For Two With Three Course Evening Meal and Breakfast for €99 at the Ashbourne House Hotel Up to 61% Off 3. Captivating Canaries Seven Night SelfCatering Stay For Two Adults and Up to Two Children for €106.66 at the Nazaret Apartments, Lanzarote Up to 51% Off 4. Algarve Family Break Seven Night Stay For Two Adults and Up to Two Children Plus Champagne on Arrival  for €129 at Monte Carvoeiro Up to 77% Off 5. Marrakech Two, Three, Four or Five Night Stay For Two With Breakfast Plus Hammam and Spa Sessions from €95 at Imperial Plaza Hotel Spa Up to 74% Off Further deals in Ireland 1. €25 for a €69 meal for two including mains and sides plus two glasses of Prosecco at Riva Restaurant Save 64% 2. €12.50 instead of €33 for Any 12” Pizza and a Large Bottle of Viticolturi Ponte N/V Prosecco delivered to you by Credo  Save 62% 3. €89 instead of €270 for 3 cellulite busting Endermologie sessions at Bellaza Beauty Clinic Save 67% 4. €25 worth of Laundry and Ironing for €12 at Clean Freak’s 5. Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner For Two With Drinks for €9 at Imbiss Istanbul Up to 55% Off Further deals in other categories 1. Choice of Swedish, Deep Tissue or Sports Massage for €28 with Harbour Clinic Value €70 2. Round of Golf For Two With Buggy for €46 at Bray Golf Club €115 Value 3. €29 for €80 Towards Personalised Picture Framing from Gallery 23 Up to 64% Off 4. Ticket to The Parting Glass by Dermot Bolger for €6 with Axis Theatre On Tour Up to €25 Value 5. One €25 or Three €69 Sessions of Ultra Body Contouring Laser Therapy at New Image Hair and Beauty Salon Up to 65% Off
