“What stands out is the solid location near Elephant & Castle station, coupled with the unexpected perk of breakfast included in the price, all within a building that was once a boarding school, so the rooms are a reasonable size. While it's a budget-friendly option-clean sheets are a plus-manage your expectations accordingly. For travellers prioritizing location and cost, this could be a practical choice.”
