First time in a hostel. Stayed with our two boys in a family room. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean everywhere was & how lovely the facilities & staff were. We will definitely stay again

Felt very safe and a good stay for a hostel! Would have liked a lock on the inside of the door.
We were part of the historic misery at Heathrow when UK flights were all cancelled. The Rest Up London was a fantastic lifesaver for us! Of particular note was the night manager who calmed us and cared for us. I will forever remember his kindness and hospitality. I will also remember the spotless facility, the clean linens and bathrooms, the excellent breakfast and the warm, congenial atmosphere of The Rest Up London.
Great location!
Rest Up Hostel is close to public transport. Elephant & Castle Station is just a short walk away, and the bus stop is right outside.

Very basic even for a hostel, was quite shocked you had to pay for a towel in a private room. Staff very good though.

What you would expect for a budget place to stay. Clean and basic with good shower. No lift so be prepared for stairs! Ideal for school groups.

The wait and queue to check in was very long, everyone needs photo identification and more staff or staggered check in might help? Our en-suite twin room was a broom cupboard in the basement. For £107 not bad for London I guess? Clean and a decent shower.
While the staff was helpful, the property was not very well maintained and there were little to no amenities. The light in the bathroom was out, there was visible dirt in the rooms, the bathrooms smelled of mildew, and you have to pay five pound to rent a bath towel. Overall, not terrible for the price, but very minor adjustments could greatly improve the quality of the stay.
Great location, 10 minutes walking from Elephant and Castle underground station,Buses, a Tesco and Sainsburry’s near by. Shared Bathrooms could be cleaned a bit often.otherwise the showers is nice with warm/hot water!
