    I had a great stay here! This place is in a really good area, central to everything. There's even a nearby bus stop and station making it super easy to get around. The room amenities were fantastic including heating, a flat-screen tv, and curtains around the beds for extra privacy. The dining bar/lounge area was comfortable and convenient for snacks and drinks. The staff in alright state customer service made some great arrangements and even placed us in the same room.

    Although families might not find it ideal here, I would highly recommend this venue to other travelers.

    Great facilities, including curtains on beds, reading lights, and plenty of electric points. Comfortable bunk beds with lockable storage racks. Convenient location for short stays.

    Felt really like home, no complaints at all.

    Efficient and convenient check-in process. We arrived at Safestay and were kinda surprised by the quick and hassle-free check-in. The receptionist was friendly and efficient, ensuring that we had all the information we needed for our stay. The hostel's location near the Tube station and bus stop made it easy for us to explore the city. The room we stayed in, with four beds and a bathroom, was clean and tidy. Though not the largest room, it was spacious enough for our short stay. The affordable price for the accommodations was a definite bonus. Safestay London Elephant & Castle provided a surprisingly good experience and is highly recommended for budget travelers.

    The shower was great, with hot water running constantly. the location was also ideal, with a short walk to the nearest metro station, making it easy to explore the city. the hostel had many great offers online, including a free snack. Another advantage was the room we got , it was comfortable, clean, and well, maintained.

    The wifi didn't work in our room, which forced us to use our data. Another issue we encountered was during check, out, where we saw many people sleeping on the floor in the reception area.

    Clean and private bed curtains at Safestay. The lack of kitchen not a problem as breakfast was great value. Overall I recommend this budget-friendly hostel.

    Bright room with big windows and privacy curtains. Modern and clean hostel with individual amenities like curtains, lamps, and USB charging points. Conveniently located near shops and public transport. Nice bar area and breakfast with plenty of space. Spacious bathroom in the room adds a nice touch.

    Great value for money, especially considering the location in a reputedly dodgy area. The hotel is situated near a bus stop and station, making it easy to get around the city. I was impressed with the basic amenities and the rooms with an integrated bathroom, even with 6 bunk beds. The breakfast was delicious, with unlimited hot drinks included and reasonable prices if not included.

    All aspects were satisfactory and met my expectations.
