London Hostels

Hostels have been the main stay of travellers for many years. Traditional hostels offered low rates and shared sleeping arrangements in exchange for chores. In the 1960’s a new type of hostel emerged that did away with the chore requirement. A typical London hostel will provide bedding and access to shared cooking and bathing spaces. The term “hostel” can also refer to accommodation houses for homeless people, and travellers may want to make a distinction by using the term “youth hostel.”

London hostels provide comfortable lodging to travellers looking to save money. While health issues and crime are generally not a concern, travellers may want to lock up personal belongings when leaving the hostel. Since guests of London hostels will almost never have a private room, it is a good idea to lock up money and travel documents at the reception. Most London hostels will offer to secure your items in a locked space, sometimes for a fee, to house such personal belongings.

London hostels are quite numerous, and the city draws many hostel guests from around the world. For many travellers, this is a major advantage of staying in hostels in London. Since guests are often sleeping in the same room and using many of the same facilities, youth hostels in London are one of the best places to meet other travellers. In a city as world renowned as London, guests are sure to meet interesting international contacts.

Another advantage to a hostel in London is the shared kitchen area. Almost all hostels will have a fully stocked kitchen or cooking area - ideal for backpackers and tourists who like to enjoy a home cooked meal as a contrast to UK restaurants. Obviously, for travellers on a budget, cooking can also be a great way to save money.

If a hostel in London is only one of the many hostel stays you plan to make, you may want to buy into a hostel group. As a member of a hostel group, you will be eligible for discounted and cheap London hostel rates at just about any popular hostel in Europe or the UK. Your pass also makes you eligible for additional discounts at surrounding restaurants or other entertainment venues.
