About Brit Hotels Elephant Castle
Brit Hotels Elephant Castle suits visitors after a no-frills stay close to the action rather than a destination in itself. Set in a converted Victorian pub, the building has kept a period-style bar downstairs, giving it more character than the average chain hotel, while the 53 bedrooms take a straightforward, traditional approach with en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning. Family rooms and accessible rooms are available, and a lift serves the upper floors.
Breakfast is included, and free WiFi runs throughout the building. Practical extras cover luggage storage, meeting rooms, airport parking or transfer arrangements, and drinks available in the room, and the hotel can also host weddings for those planning something larger. It won't suit anyone chasing polish or modern design, but as a functional base it covers the essentials.
The location near Elephant and Castle station makes onward travel across London straightforward, and the immediate area has pubs, bars, restaurants and other eateries within easy reach, along with nearby entertainment options for evenings out.

What guests say
The deco, appearance was dreadful. The staff are not very friendly. The breakfast was terrible. The room did not feel safe to keep the belongings and sleep overnight - the door was not secure, the windows could not shut. But it appeared clean and the sleep was good at night - regardless of someone smoking and the noise.

Me and my girlfriend paid £129 to stay here for one night! The room was a disgrace with most of the light bulbs out, mold in the shower and stains all over the carpet.. I could go on. This did include a breakfast but we decided to get out of the place as quick as possible. Dont waste your hard earned cash on this place.

Awful. The pub downstairs is closed and boarded up so not very inviting straight away. Inside, the hotel is old, dark and dated and all carpets are worn through. No wifi in the bedroom, no electric sockets near the bed. The window was broken and couldn't close (an attempt at fixing it was made with sello tape!). A empty TV bracket on the wall, but a TV set up on the desk. In the bathroom, no water pressure and half the lights not working. Only positive: it was clean. Apart from that, nothing good to say about this place.

The stay was ok, the rooms are beautiful but way to small for me! Imagine me (6'5 and big) in a room that small!! Lol the staff was very friendly ( minus the guy that does the night shift, he pretends the clients are literally invisible. I tried to speak with him, totally ignored me!) A lot of dodgy people there tho....i think this hotel has a predisposition to "ladys of the night" and "the snow flour salesman" ( trying to be as humanely possible, i apologise for the lack of knowing better words) overall it was decent.
