Safestay London Elephant & Castle - Hostel

My review was based solely on this stay. If I have a better experience next time I will leave a positive feedback then. If I want to return again I will return.

At check-in, Carmello was mean. However, during my stay, the other staff were either very good or outstanding. Especially, Raphael. He was very helpful and polite and jovial. The way the lounge is situated at the entrance of the hostel makes it very noisy.

location is good with easy access to the metro and bus stations . It is a very crowded hostel. Rooms are consist of 6 beds that make some noise. Beds are not comfort and cleaning is good somehow

Was ok. I like the place. School groups meant shower facilities were a bit rough. Like the curtains round the beds

Near the tube station, got shops and restaurants nearby, easy to get to London bridge for trains too. Walls not really sound proof as you can hear people walking up and down the stairs, and all the doors open and close on the corridor. No power plug near the upper bunk, but got curtains around the bed frame for a bit more privacy. not enough shower rooms, and not where to hang your stuff in smaller ones. Decent breakfast.

I stay 14 nights and enjoy majority time there, except almost of all the shower room and toilet smelling not good in 1-2 floor. 6 beds room is big enough and good price. It’s pitty that no microwave, kettle and fridge there, becoz I got cold and really want have hot water all the time.

I was a little concerned about staying in a dormitory as an older person used to privacy but it met my needs at the time. Noise and disruption was bearable but you are dependent on the manners and consideration of other people.Am considering booking again.

Great staff and decent place to stay

The venue charged me twice for a room I couldn’t access at all. This practice is despicable and I would qualify my welcome there as appalling.

That’s good place to staying. Only need to added plugs for charge phone in every bed.
