I can't fault the location, the cleanliness and the friendly staff. Easy to check in. They let you bring your own food and eat in the communial area. I like that the beds have rubber mattresses more hygienic that way. The last time I stayed here my room had curtains on the beds for privacy, but not this time, so I used my duvet and sheet, it' helps block out light if someone arrives late. The toilet and shower in the room was very convenient. I picked this hostel for the second time because you can't beat the location, you can get a bus to anywhere from the main road it's like where all buses meet in Elephant and Castle. As a, solo women traveling I feel safe in this hostel, as safe as you can feel sharing with strangers and also both stays have been quiet enough to get a bit of sleep which is a rare for me in a hostel. I will keep using this hostel for my London stays. I have tried several others and this by far has toped the cleanliness and moderness for me. I like a bargain and for the price I really felt I got a deal. My only points deducted would be on no kettle or kitchen to make a cup of tea in the morning, ( if they do have one I missed it both stays) they do have a bar that does food and breakfast, but I follow my own diet restrictions, so would be great to have a space to prepare, but I really can't fault this hostel. 10/10 location and cleanliness 9/10 comfort.. Just wish it had a kettle atleast that dorm guests could use.

It has a bar and provides snack and drinks. It is served by many bus routes and near to the tube station which makes it very convenient. There are also different eateries nearby. The main drawback is without a kitchen. There is also no lift.

well, i think they’ll need a lift.

I strongly advise avoiding this hotel at all costs. The property is poorly maintained and lacks basic cleanliness. The walls were dirty and moldy. There is no elevator to the upper floors—a critical detail that was never disclosed during booking. To make matters worse, the staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful throughout our stay.
On the morning of our checkout, they closed all the bathroom doors on our floor until 11 AM. This meant we were unable to shower or even use the facilities before leaving. Combined with a strict 3 PM check-in and zero flexibility, the experience was unacceptable. Save your money and stay elsewhere.

Sadly I cannot confidently recommend this hostel. The suburb is characterful during the day but at night, it can be uncomfortable and noisy, not the most reputable neighbourhood unfortunately. The hostel itself is a “bed to sleep in” but not much traveller vibe - the common area downstairs is large and lacks cosiness and connection. The rooms are adequate, with comfortable beds, a small light at each bed and ensuite toilet and shower separate within the rooms, as well as optional toilet and shower outside each room. I found the hostel reception staff to be kind and warm, even if not always actively supportive of guest comfort. However, the biggest concern I have is the types of folks staying here: regular backpackers, yes, but also locals/foreigners visiting for job interviews or staying for longer periods, not all of whom share the conviviality and generosity of spirit of hostel travel (e.g., taking phone calls at 5am, turning the main lights on at 3am). I strongly advise looking into other affordable hostels in London that are not in this area, or booking a 4-bed instead of the larger 8-bed dorms.

I had a truly fantastic stay at this elephant and castle hostel! The experience was made extra special thanks to Ali and Nahayan, who were really nice to me. They provided great local tips, ensured that every need was met, and genuinely cared about making my stay memorable.

The hostel itself is clean, well-maintained, and ideally located for exploring all that London has to offer. With such attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting the city

It was the first time that I have ordered from Dragon Castle. Decided to go for Vegetable Spring Rolls; Thai Style Tom Yum Soup with Prawn; Chicken Curry, Hainan Style with Steamed Jasmine Rice.

The Tom Yum soup tasted quite strange and had a bitter taste. Decided not to finish it. Spring Rolls were the nicest item. As for the Chicken Curry the sauce was the only good bit. Chicken tasted really strange and rubbery; decided not to eat it. As for the Jasmine Rice; charging 3 quid is way too much.

Must say, I was quite disappointed. The spring rolls and the curry sauce have saved this meal; hence the generous 2 star rating.

Overall, will not be ordering again from the Dragon Castle.

If you like dim sum then I can highly recommend it. Good and extensive list served every weekend until three.
29.08.2017 Emma
Great selection of dim sum. Food is always served fast and tastes fantastic. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are always lovely and helpful. They clear away your empty plates fast so you have more room on your table since dim sum uses a lost of space. Our card was also declined this visit and they didn't mind us spending half an hour fixing the problem so I appreciate the patience too. I've been to this restaurant since I was a child and I will continue to do so!
