And I would 100% definitely go back.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cMost hotels in that area are upwards of about \u00a3180 a night. So you think, you save yourself a fortune.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cA lot of people in the comment section were like, \u2018This is cheaper than just getting the train home.\u2019 And it&#8217;s true.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Callum stayed at the hotel on August 5, 2025 and didn&#8217;t expect much. He found the hotel while researching cheap options for his series on the most expensive and cheapest experiences in the UK.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   alt=\"The hotel is just off Piccadilly Circus.\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\/>The hotel is just off Piccadilly Circus. (Image: SWNS)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He said: \u201cI did have low expectations for this hotel, especially for \u00a324 a night, I thought there was no way it would be nice at all.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Instead, Callum was impressed by the standards of the hotel.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe toilets and showers were my main worry but they were all clean and so were the beds.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cA lot of people online said that they couldn\u2019t do it because of claustrophobia, but I actually think there was enough room in there to spend the night comfortably.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cAnd to be honest, it is quite soundproof. You don\u2019t hear a lot of noise, and there is ventilation, a fan, charger hooks &#8211; all for \u00a324, you don\u2019t expect to get that sort of high tech.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Callum pointed out the practicality and convenience of the hotel.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <strong>Recommended Reading<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He said: \u201cIf you want somewhere to spend the night this cheap in the middle of London, and you\u2019ve got everything you need all in one space, then it\u2019s literally perfect.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  As for recommendations, Callum said that the hotel seemed set up &#8220;more for people commuting to London and wanting to stay the night somewhere easy and central,&#8221; rather than tourists.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cIt&#8217;s good for even after a night out or if you&#8217;ve missed your train home. It seems more of a convenience thing and maybe more suited to those who know the area already,&#8221; he said.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Callum Ryan, 24, stayed in the Piccadilly Hostel\u00a0in Piccadilly Circus and paid just \u00a324 for a night.
