6/10 Good

Clean, reasonable but didnt feel safe or rested
A clean good value place to stay in a good location. A couple of things as a sole female there staying for work which gave me pause. The first was I was woken in the middle of the night first to a really strong smell of let's call herbal 'smoke'. The windows were closed so it was not coming from outside. Possibly connected I was then woken twice by two fire alarms at 2am and then 3am. Apparently it was impossible to determine who had been smoking. My stay which was supposed to make me rested for a nearby office day meant I got no sleep. I was also concerned that in my ground floor room all the windows were not secured properly when I entered- anyone could have opened them and come directly off a busy London street. I would consider going again but it left me feeling uncertain and not rested.

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.

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.

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.

2/10 Poor

PLEASE CONSIDER OTHER PLACES!!! 1. Temperature The place can get terribly hot when it’s just 22 degrees outside and tbh the electric fan they provide WOULD NOT WORK at all. 2. Security Somehow the hostel decided that I was okay to just let DRUNK people check in. I simply just suggested that maybe he could get a shower politely, but that ended up with him arguing with me. leading to me decided to move to another room, yet they somehow moved me to a bed that was ALREADY OCCUPIED, leaving me ALONE carrying 2 suitcases and 2 backpacks around the building! And of course not one of the staff tried to really help me with the suitcases. The staff who let the drunk crazy guy in even told me it’s not that deep! 3. Toilet The shared toilets are of a terrible condition where piles of SOAKED TISSUES would be be dumped on the floor. 4. General Vibe Expected to meet like minded young people, ending up with a bunch of SKETHCY OLD GUYS dwelling in the lounge area. BAD VIBE OVERALL
