London hostels are perfect for the individual or student traveler looking to enjoy all London has to offer on a smaller size budget. London is full of high quality, student friendly hostels. While college aged students are hostel’s prime customers, many older individuals, couples and even families are staying at hostels enjoying the community atmosphere, low budget price and strategic locations.

Hostels are slightly different than your average hotel. You don’t rent a room per se; instead you rent a bed in a room. While many Americans might find this a novel approach to travel, in Europe, hostels are extremely popular and a great meeting place for many students and individuals. One of the main advantages of booking your stay at a hostel are their incredible low prices. For instance, you can usually find a London hostel to stay at for between 10 and 20 pounds a night, far less than your average London hotel stay.
