Piccadilly Backpackers has an unbeatable location in central London. It is literally minutes walk away from Piccadilly Circus tube station and within walking easy distance of Oxford Street, Soho, and Trafalgar Square.
It is a large institutional hostel and on arrival you get a list of rules which must be obeyed. It is not a particularly friendly sort of place with rather surly staff. It has good security in terms of staff at the door and lockers in each room.
The hostel is kept clean and the bathroom facilities work fine although there are not a lot of showers, so there can be a queue in the mornings. Even though visitors are given sheets of rules on arrival, this place can be quite loud and tends to get louder as the night wears on. The dorm rooms are very small and like the rest of the hostel, are a little tatty -- the beds are showing signs of their old age. The sheets and pillows in particular could do with replacing. Breakfast is included but amounts to self-service toast and cereals in a very small kitchen.
If you want a convenient location close to central London nightlife this is a good choice. If you just want somewhere cheap to stay if you are transiting through London Heathrow airport, this is an easy place to get to on the tube. If you want somewhere cheap you probably won't spend much time in the hostel anyway but for a good night's sleep this is probably not the best place to choose.
