Cheap hostel in London, any advice please?

karakus

Hello everyone I need some urgent advice


I am being evicted from my flat on Sunday 21th June (in 2 days), I need to find a cheap hostel in London zones 1 or 2 till I find a new flat, looking to pay £90-£100, even if it means sharing a room with quite a few people (of course the less people the better)


Even if it’s a bit of a dingy hostel it’s ok, I’ll take it, I don’t have funds and I can’t be fussy at the moment


All hostels online have eye wateringly expensive prices even for 8 people dormitory, take into account I have to go to work so I need to get at least some sleep


Thank you very much for your help

How much are the yha beds?

£90 to £100 per day?

I assume that the figure quoted was per week, since there are plenty of hotel rooms that go for less than 90 per night.

I have heard good things about Smart hostel (several in different parts of central London) but they tend to get fully booked at this time of year. A bed costs around the ten pound mark.

Obviously, the OP should ring Shelter to ask for advice and to check that it is really essential to leave the flat on Sunday. I am surprised that a legal eviction can take place over the weekend...

per week

also it should be hostels that allow longer stays

+ to Smart Hostel if you can get a bed - stayed at the Russell square one earlier this year and was clean and well located.

it's not really an eviction, but I have to leave the flat asap because of issues with the Council

Zone 1/2 is what's going to be expensive - if you can stay further out (and bear in mind, most people in London live further out) you will save more, or get a nicer place. It's summer, you can always walk a couple of zones for work, or London buses are extremely cheap compared with the rest of the country...

http://www.travelstay.com/pages/BridgeParkHotel.htm Wembley £18/night with price breaks for 3, 7 and 14+ night stays. Worth a call, I'd say.

Yes zone 3 in a bit of a rough zone is also good

Which London are you headed for? There are approx twenty five of them worldwide.

Try AirBnB.. there's loads of places in London but only a few as cheap as hostels. I did find one in Edgeware for £89 p/w + £10 service charge
