Top 10 The Elephant and Castle Hotels

I appreciate we stayed on probably one of the hottest nights of the year. This hotel has no air conditioning whatsoever coupled with the fact it’s a flat roofed building and the sash windows you can hardly open we had a room on the second floor which to be perfectly honest was unbearable. I am sure the hotel was not fully booked and they could have easily have allocated us a room on a lower floor. The room was suffocating to say the least and as for the corridors I dread to think what temperatures both the rooms and corridor read. Fire exit door on the first floor was blocked by sacks of towels which had just been delivered and dumped there, this is illegal. The breakfast whilst the gentleman serving and doing the cooking at the same time was lovely and friendly . The menu was very restricted due to the hotel having run out of mushrooms avocado hash browns white bread and butter pats. If you wanted a cooked vegetarian breakfast you were left with beans and eggs. Only apple juice on offer no orange juice The car parking is extremely limited and we had to pay £15 to park overnight. Whilst the hotel is in a good position and was clean. We were disappointed and suffice to say won’t be returning. Am currently waiting for my £50 deposit to be released back into my account

Friendly Place folk here couldn’t do enough for you! Highly recommend, comfy beds spacious rooms a great wee place to stay, fantastic food served in the pub but would reccomend booking a table in advance! Breakfast was included and was lovely 😁 looks are deceiving here also, it’s a bigger place than you would think, no complaints here! would stay again 😁

A really nice hotel. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The breakfast in the morning was lovely. The rooms were spacious and clean. The only reason given 4 stars is that there is no lift. I may only be up one floor but with luggage is not fun. If have issues with stairs try and request ground floor, we didn't know and regreted it. But overall great place to stay.

After reading reviews and looking at the photos I knew before arriving this would be a throw back to the late 80s. Even though there are comments saying the hotel is being refurbished, during my 2 days here i didnt see any evidence of this - the rooms are tired and dated, carpets worn - BUT ! Even with this, we had a comfortable 2 nights in our room. The STAFF are the biggest asset in this hotel - genuine friendly helpful people - in fact i cannot remember the last time we had staff that were so genuine - absolute credit to the hotel. Drinks and food are fairly priced, the breakfast is a self serve buffet setup and was tasty. The Spa / gym was good although the showers need to be dealt with as the warm water was literally a trickle - apparently its a well known issue when i asked about it. Overall, nice hotel if you dont mind the dated aspect - well located and the cherry on the cake was free EV charging for the 2 days we stayed ! :-) Deffo stay again - ! Thanks.
