Top Elephant and Castle Hotel Reviews

The Cumberland, London

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, staff is friendly & helpful. Lights were awkward, for example, you could not turn on the bathroom light without turning on additional lights. Lobby is somewhat loud, like a bar. Bottled water provided in room daily, which was great. Good location for tube connections."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

8/10 Good

"Pods are clean, comfortable with good air flow and temperature control. Staff are helpful. Loved the availability of the towels and slippers in the pods. Hooks in toilet stalls would be appreciated. Fire alarm going off at 3am due to someone vaping (not allowed) was extremely annoying. We all had to exit the building for a short period while staff investigated. Thankfully, I don’t think this happens often. The guests all seemed to be very respectful but apparently there was one rule breaker. Not the property’s fault. Don’t expect requests to be looked at when you reserve online but staff are very helpful to accommodate if they can, upon arrival. If you need an extra pillow, just ask."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Hôtel très bien placé dans un quartier vivant. La chambre était moderne et bien insonorisé. L’air climatisé fonctionnait très bien. Beaucoup d’offres alimentaires et épicerie à distance raisonnable. Près des transports en commun. Par contre, le lavabo était bouché et prenait beaucoup de temps pour se vider."
