Accommodation
Hostels
Long-stay beds for short money.
Hostels aren't just for gap-year backpackers — long-stay hostel beds in UK cities can be cheaper than the dodgiest flatshares, and the YHA network has rooms in places no flat ever existed: castles, lighthouses, lochs.
These are the UK hostel platforms worth bookmarking. Hostelworld for variety, YHA for the iconic locations, Generator for the city-centre upmarket end.
