the hostel is centrally located, clean rooms, and the shower and toilets are in the hallway..! Its a cheap hotel so u dont need to have high expectations...its just a hostel for a cheap rate so dont compare it with a hotel. Nice and cheap accommodation for students! we stayed there for a week and we had a nice week!... more

You couldn't ask for a better location. My partner and I stayed here twice during our 7 weeks around Europe. We did try to look for somewhere better the second time around but really just couldn't be bothered with the hassle as it wasn't 'that' bad. First time (April) we stayed in a private room. Beds were VERY uncomfortable. Shared... more

Shared room with 2 young boys on a holiday from abroad and one man on a business trip. Service was good, with pretty basic breakfast - no complaints there! The hostel seems (since it is located next to Piccadilly Circus) to be place for people to party in most cases. I think the partying and loud talking went on through... more

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

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

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
