No-frills hostel stay

Rooms were clean and check in was easy.

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.

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.

Lovely otherwise

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.

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.

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.
