I stayed at Piccadilly Backpackers Hostel with two of my friends for four nights. We shared a room with one other person which was perfectly OK. I enjoyed my stay here- the hostel is only a few minutes walk from Piccadilly Circus and the Subway. We could walk to China Town, and to most bars/clubs, restaurants and to many central... more

I traveled to London in May and despite the poor reviews decided to give Picadilly Backpackers a shot. When arriving at the hotel, we were rudely greeted at the at the check in desk. After requesting a room with a double bed and private shower, we were told there is no such room. That's strange considering we booked our room... more

This hostel is in a fantastic location, if you want to see/hear/feel/smell the goings-on of Piccadilly Circus. However, I felt as though this was not a hostel, but a prison from soviet Russia. The room numbers are spray-painted sloppily onto the doors, the paint is chipped and peeling away in many places, the bedding, mattresses and blankets seemed like they... more

The best thing about this hostel is the location. It's right on Piccadilly Circus, which is great. We got a private double. Totally bare bones room with just a bed, which is about what I'd expect from a hostel. The bathroom was dirty; I didn't really want to touch anything. The elevator was incredibly tiny, so when you have six... more

I stayed in this hostel twice, mainly the location is very convenient and the bed is very cheap. This hostel is old and dirty check in is slow, lift wasn't working so we have to use the stairs with big backpacks. If you are not tight in budget should go somewhere else. more

Ok... I wouldn't go so far as saying that there were bed bugs, but there was an unclean feeling to the place. Firstly, the service at the reception is VERY slow - we queued for 20min to check-in - most of the staff are foreign and the particular gentlemen that served us had difficulty understanding us. They did not inform... more

Bed bugs. I had bites all over me...and I even saw a few bugs in some sheets in the hallway when they were cleaning. We brought them home and it's just the worst thing ever. DO NOT STAY HERE! It's not worth the trouble of bed bugs! Gross! more

It was an okay hostel. Nothing special though, but I would definitely go back. It was noisy, yes, but it didn't really bother me, it's a hostel for young people, of course they want to party! The rooms were good, a little small, but clean. I liked the bathrooms, there was an unisex bathroom and it was really private. The... more
