The window was broken and wouldn't shut, so the humming ventilation from the lightwell kept us awake for half the night. The bed creaked and had what felt like a World War I mattress. For £70 a night at Piccadilly Backpackers, our double room had little else: a plastic chair and four coat hooks on the wall, no wardrobe, table, or bedside lamp, just a cold neon ceiling light. I've maybe stayed in worse places, though I'm not sure. What I am sure about is that I haven't paid £70 a night for them. The sheets had holes, and the blankets seemed old enough to have been used in the English Civil War. Prison cells are more comfortable than this ridiculous hostel room, and much cheaper too.

The main reason to pick this hostel is its location. Piccadilly for the Tube is less than a minute away, and Oxford Circus is an easy walk for shopping. The free walking tour they advertise leaves daily at 11 and was amazing, covering the basic royal London sights. Don't expect much for comfort: there's just a sheet and blanket at night, so I wouldn't stay here in the depths of winter, and the shower and bathroom are small. A youth hostel isn't about charm or class anyway. I was there briefly to see London's sights, so I wasn't spending much time there beyond sleeping and didn't need high quality.

The Travel Lounge guy was AWESOME, the one silver lining. The bed had no sheets, just two gross blankets and pillows, and the window was broken and wouldn't close. For that much money, I wouldn't recommend it. I'd find somewhere else next time.

The location is the one thing going for it, right by Piccadilly and handy if you want to party without dealing with night buses. But the place itself was awful: tiny rooms, filthy bathrooms, drunk staff, and no sense of safety. I didn't expect luxury from a youth hostel, but I did expect basic decency. I’d only stay here if I had no other option and couldn't afford anything else.

For what you pay, there’s enough here: somewhere to sleep, free internet, guides for finding things to do, and a spot right in central London. It’s not the best hotel you’ll ever stay in, and it could use some paint, but it has pretty much what you need.
