Conferencing

Both hostels work with local facilities so that we can offer groups a complete range of conference services within walking distance.

U18 Groups

At Elephant we understand the concerns of Group Leaders in charge of U18s and we have kept these in mind when developing our product and policies. Because of this we have:

• well trained staff who can intelligently allocate rooms to groups to ensure their comfort and security
• a security card system controlling access to rooms and areas of the hostel
• a policy that groups are allocated private rooms with suitably positioned Leader rooms
• comprehensive CCTV coverage
• 24hr staff cover with security staff on duty
• throughout the night
• carried out a full risk analysis which is available on request
