Disgusting toilets; sullen staff; they were out of food for breakfast; I could barely breathe in the overheated room... I suppose it beats sleeping on the street, but that's about it. It's reasonably cheap (£18 for a bed in a female 4-bed dorm in February), but I'm sure you can find better hostels for a similar price. I took one... More

First of all, I want to say, do not waste your money on the Big Bus Hop-on Hop-off tour. It is 29 pounds (about 55$), and when the bus is in the city centre, you could wake about 5 times faster than it drives...and you can honestly walk through London no problem! It is a big waste of money. In... More

Was due to stay but cancelled because of how rude the staff are on the phone. I will never set foot in the place again. I have stayed before and it's not good enough to endure their bad manners. They have no idea regards customer service expectations for the UK.

I just got back from London and thought I would write my review about Piccadilly Backpackers Hostel. I'd read some godawful things about the place and seeing as this was my first time staying in a hostel, it did worry me a little. But because the place I was visiting was only 10 mins walk away, this was one of... More

I don't even know where to start... I will never stay here again, and i advise you strongly not to either. After looking at all the photos on the website and hearing the reviews on the website, i thought great, a nice, cheap and central place to stay whilst we're on a short break in London. I was wrong. We... More

I can't understand all the bad reviews!!!! It has been for us a very nice hostel!!!!

Don't make the same mistake I did! Read these reviews and know what you're getting into! This is a totally serviceable youth hostel: it is cheap and it is central. But if I had it to do over, I would definitely NOT have stayed here. It feels like a gigantic human meat locker that specializes in storing hyper-active teenage class... More

don't expect too much...but if you need a cheep place in a central location near underground station - that's the place. I have booked 2 beds in the bigges room for 10 people (the cheepest option) but in fack I got 2 beds in a room for 6 people in the same price (and still two beds were free). that... More

I went to London with my class for 5 days and stayed on Picadilly Backpackers. Before i went i read some of the reviews in here, an expected the baddest hostel in the world, so when we arrived i got positiv surprised! Well the hostel didn't look like the pictures at all. It wasn't as pretty as showned, but then... More
