Property building in Safestay London Elephant & Castle
It was spotlessly clean everywhere, including the bedlinen. The dorm I slept in had its own toilet and washbasin and separate shower. The washbasin was blocked but I’m sure it will be fixed. These were in the lobby to the dorm and were pretty well soundproof. All the other guests were considerate about not making noise when people were sleeping even when 1 person seemed to be asleep 24 hrs! The building looked as if it had been updated recently and everything was clean, bright, spacious and in good condition. I chose the area as it was on a tube line which served all the places I wanted to go and there are was a supermarket right next to the hostel. The bar and lounge area was friendly and there was a pool table and an outdoor courtyard which must be nice in the summer. The staff were friendly, efficient and laid back. I felt very safe and comfortable there as a single older traveller.

Cheap as chips, the downstairs was lovely, plenty seating, a pool table and with a small but lovely looking food menu (although we didn’t need to eat to comment on how food tasted) We stayed on a 6 bed private-it’s tight but exactly what you expect from this type of stay. We were delighted to have two toilets between us, one with the shower, clean bedding and clean towels. Short walk from the tube station. Beds were comfy, although a bit noisy when you moved but we slept well. Was warm in the rooms but with two large windows that was quickly Solved by opening them a small amount. We needed somewhere last minute to stay after a cancellation on marathon weekend in which my brother was running (and completed woohoo) We were very nervous about staying at a hostel, but all agreed we Would definitely stay here again, for the price it exceeded our expectations by far.

The hostel staff are great! reception are very welcoming and professional.. and ready to help and assist. I don't know the others names but Peter was especially sweet and kind and helpful. And the cleaning staff are brilliant 🌟 It's very central so easy to travel anywhere in and around London. There's a big lounge area to chill/work/eat and lots of sockets to plug in and charge your devices.. they sell drinks and tea and coffee. They're are vending machines with snacks on most floors if you get hungry and an outside seating area with tables and benches if you need fresh air or if you smoke. The bus stops are right outside the hostel and there's lots of food places , supermarkets and East street Market selling all sorts of fruit and veg and clothes etc, just 5 minutes away. I really like staying here when I'm in London

Very comfortable room and bed and excellent en suite shower. There is a large metal cage for storage beneath each bed. This is one of my more favoured hostels in London. Enjoy sitting downstairs in the bar area and mainly sitting quietly. There is also a very good `big screen` which had full coverage of the Olympic Games which I watched occasionally. Staff here are generally very helpful. Some really groovy music played on their `LOOP` Only a 10 minute walk to Elephant and Castle Tube plus regular buses going in every direction. Very close to the National War Museum which is certainly worth a visit
