Hostels

Hostels can be an ideal choice of accommodation if you're travelling in a group, or simply want an affordable accommodation without any frills. There are hundreds of hostels located all over London that cater to students and travellers.

Most of the hostels offer online booking, so you can book your rooms before you arrive. However, if searching for hostels online, we also suggest calling the hostel directly before booking (to see if they offer a cheaper rate than the web advertised rate) and after booking (to check if your booking is confirmed) to ensure a hassle-free stay.

There are several websites that provide direct booking in hostels in London:

  • Hostels.com is one of the most popular hostel search databases providing direct booking facilities.

  • Hostelz.com is another popular search database where you can book for hostels all over the world directly.

  • London Hostels Association (LHA) is a group based in London. They offer affordable rooms all year round in their hostels.  They may also be contacted directly by:
    Tel: +44(0) 207 727 5665
    Email: bookings@lhalondon.com
    LHA provides a range of room choices. Follow this link for their latest offers and rates.

  • Accommodation Bureau also keeps a list of hostels and bed & breakfast facilities. Those lists can be accessed here (hostels) and here (bed & breakfasts).
