These are very popular and an ideal way of meeting people as students from many different colleges and universities stay in them. Hostels in the centre of London tend to be the most expensive and shared rooms are usually all that is available. Some hostels in central London provide meals. Places in hostels are limited. Rooms are often available only for the September intake, although it is still worth applying for other times of the year. You must apply well in advance. For a place in September you should apply by March – July.

To apply to a hostel you will need to contact the place directly to obtain an application form (or apply on-line), then return the application along with the appropriate deposit. Unfortunately deposits cannot be returned if you later decide you do not want the place. Please note that a room cannot be booked until it is paid for. Most hostels will not allow short-term stays, so please bear this in mind when making your choice.
