Hostel
Safestay London Elephant & Castle
144-152 Walworth Road, Southwark, London, SE17 1JL, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
To be perfectly honest I answered these questions on my best assumptions; I had to postpone my trip to the U.K. until late September, at which time I will be certain to book my stay with you.

the staff is great. bunk are good, dorms are good size. wheelchair accommodation was good. they did there best. downstairs has a huge wheelchair friendly toilet, handle bars & baby change station. not sure why, no minors allowed. it’s has a great bar downstairs.

Super! Room with a TV and private bathroom - amazing. Great place to sit outside with a drink, only could work longer.

The location is great, a few minutes walk from Elephant & Castle underground station, with multiple bus stops right in front of the hostel, and a bunch of shops (Co-op, Tesco) and bars in the immediate vicinity. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the 24h reception means you can check in regardless of how late your arrive (I was there close to midnight). The room was good, with a comfortable bed (including curtains so that you can have your privacy), locked cages for your personal belongings (need your own padlock), and separate bathroom & toilet (small but clean and functional). Remember this is a hostel, not a 4/5-star hotel - if you keep that in mind, I believe this place offers really great value for money.

Location, clean, spacious, curtains for privacy on bunk beds.

Soooo...We were shocked that the room was so great considering the lobby and staff experience downstairs...everything upstairs was great.

The location is excellent. The room was clean. They also have lockers that you can put your stuff in before you check in.

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.
