Man in my room came in drunk and disorderly and turned on his music as loud as possible at 5 am. He proceeded to loudly berate first me then the others in the room for “looking down their noses” at him. This went on for an hour before I invited him down to reception with me. I had to change rooms for fear he might be violent. 5 hours I had to wait for the new check in! Meanwhile he left the property and somehow managed to get a bottle of gin at 6 in the morning and sat at a table near reception and drank nearly all of it by 8! He then threatened who I thought was a security person who did nothing but tell him to sit down. He then began taunting a group of children!!! Finally the police arrived and escorted him out but not before he threatened even them! I thought things were under control but I saw him there later in the day because he apparently was allowed to stay! This place is simply unsafe!

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.

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

The room we had was unbearably hot. it was a Summer night, but the daytime temp had only reached 22C so not the hottest of days. Thankfully there was a fan in the room, but it wasn't very effective and we had to leave it on all night with the window open to feel the effect. This made the room quite noisy with sirens and general traffic from the road. On top of that, the metal framed bed and a paper thin mattress. Every time we rolled over the whole frame would squeak like a balloon so we kept waking each other up. We all had a poor night's sleep and woke in the morning with muscle cramps from uncomfortable bed and headaches from the fan blowing on us. Genuinely couldn't wait to get out of the room just to breath oxygen again. Usually I put up with a lot and adjust my expectations for price, but at £145 for a single night I would rather pay £20 extra to stay in a Premier Inn.
