Lovely time
Had a lovely time here. My boyfriend and I booked the family room, and it was much more spacious than I was expecting. We were next to the road so there was noise but it was absolutely fine and we slept well! Tip for families: we could feel the mattress springs so we put a duvet on top of the bed to sleep on which was brilliant. Overall, great stay and no complaints.

Stay somewhere else
Hotel is in zone 1 of the underground so good location but thats the only good thing i can say about this hotel. Not clean at all room looks unfinished ours had no skirting board looked like they had been ripped off bits of the shower were missing and tv didnt work. As for the beds well what can i say but prison mattress blue plastic and very uncomfortable
Steve, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Need to get their act together. Wifi didn't reach top floor and staff refused to do anything about it. Bedroom window couldn't lock and kept opening during the night causing the room to freeze. Only a small heater provided which took one of the few plug sockets. The bed curtains had never been washed and were covered in stains.

10/10 Exceptional

I had a wonderful experience staying at Safestay London Elephant & Castle hostel during my very first time staying in a hostel rather than a hotel room. The hostel is centrally located, just a few minutes' walk from Elephant and Castle tube station, making it easy to travel to anywhere in the city. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with any questions or concerns I had. The hostel itself is clean, stylish, and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and ample storage space in the rooms. Overall, I highly recommend Safestay London Elephant & Castle hostel for anyone looking for a comfortable, affordable, and centrally located place to stay in London.
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

London is an expensive, urban area with a lot of people priced out of the rental housing market. You're likely to meet a few of this group here.
Bradley, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice but a little warm
The room was fabulous, it was GREAT having the shower and toilet in the room, and it was great having little curtains to provide privacy and cages under the beds for storage (make sure you bring a padlock). Plenty of power sockets near the beds too. The ONLY downside was that the room overlooked the courtyard and any one smoking outside meant that the room smelled mildly of smoke, and whilst I am sure it was possible I was unable to open the windows in the middle of the night when it got very hot as more and more bodies joined the room.

Ahmed, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean, reasonable but didnt feel safe or rested
A clean good value place to stay in a good location. A couple of things as a sole female there staying for work which gave me pause. The first was I was woken in the middle of the night first to a really strong smell of let's call herbal 'smoke'. The windows were closed so it was not coming from outside. Possibly connected I was then woken twice by two fire alarms at 2am and then 3am. Apparently it was impossible to determine who had been smoking. My stay which was supposed to make me rested for a nearby office day meant I got no sleep. I was also concerned that in my ground floor room all the windows were not secured properly when I entered- anyone could have opened them and come directly off a busy London street. I would consider going again but it left me feeling uncertain and not rested.
