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

It's a hostel over 7 floors and is very busy. We stayed for 2 nights in a 4bed female dorm. the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting, but at 25gbp pppn, and in an amazing location, and swipe card secure doors, it was worth it.. Clean up the bathrooms! more

GROSS!

Central and convenient location and that's it for the ups. On the side of the entrance tramps are permanently parked anytime of the day. You get to wait no less than 10 mins for the lift to take you up to the fourth floor and be checked-in at the main reception. One lift is simply not enough to service 700... more

Great location and price for tourists wanting to see the sights of London, But on our stay at the hostel it was a basic bunk bed, dirty blanket, sink in a miserable room, we had no electric so could not recharge our cameras, video cameras etc... When we informed the reception they just said there was a fault with the... more
