Hostel Safestay London Elephant & Castle

144-152 Walworth Road, Southwark, London, SE17 1JL, United Kingdom – Great location - show map

The room was clean and comfortable. Partway through the stay, we had an issue with the toilet in the ensuite bathroom, but we were moved into another room on the same floor without any fuss, and the reception was very helpful.

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms and restrooms were pretty clean and so was the general area. I liked how the beds were already made. The beds had curtains which gave quite a lot of privacy which is always appreciated.

The facilities and the room exceeded my expectations. The 4 bed ensuite room has plenty of space and was very clean. Good value for money and privacy as well.
