    Why don't you go for a house share instead. Where individual rooms are rented out in a normal place of residence. They are usually very cheap.

    I used to live near a YMCA. It really wasn't somewhere you'd stay if you had the choice.

    There are other hostels, such as youth hostels that may be nicer and more reasonably priced. Where in the UK are you looking?

    Over my years, as an agent, I have come across I have seen caravans in parents gardens but the most surprising have been innocent looking garages that inside have converted to a studio home to enable the children to save as you want to. Seen this more than once.
