London
by Meena1 about London Hostel Association
There are 5 or so hostels in different parts of London. All are mixed hostels with some single rooms, some shared femail and some shared male rooms. Bathrooms are all separated off and clean and private. The buildings some are beautiful and old (Belsize house) one has just been built (friendship house). Some hostels are catered (food provided) and some are self -catering (kitchen provided). We didnt get on with the food given, so prefer to have self -catered, or organise our own food. People are great, both staff and residents. Really recommend. Character & people.

by Incredible_India
Hello Friends,
I am planning a trip to London on 17th April, 04,I would like to know about any cheap hotel or hostel for 2 person near water loo for two days, and planning to visit Edinburg on 19th and 20th, can anyone suggest me the cheapest deal from London to Edinburg and some hotel or hostel in Edinburg too.
Thanking you all in advance!

I have never stayed in a London hostel, but in Edinburgh I can recommend the hostel in Blackfriars Street, close to both bus and train station - no more than ten minutes to walk. It´s a good spot to explore the old town as well. I suppose bus is the less expensive connection between London and Edinburgh, though sometimes there are cheap flights, so it´s worth checking.
Enjoy your trip! Kasia

You probably need to look to see if there are any deals on the train (http://www.thetrainline.com) or the coach (http://www.nationalexpress.com)
You might also like to explore the cheaper air carriers (Easyjet, Ryan air etc) but in my experience, 'bargains' on the plan disappear when you add in the cost of travelling to and from the city to the airport)

I would still check out the Easyjet website for prices they also do deals on train tickets to get you there.

The 16th there is a VT-meeting in London so it would be fun if you could come a day early and join us..
About cheap accomodation ,i have stayed twice at the hostel in Earl's Court and once in Belsize House. Both were quite ok and within easy distance from moat major london sites with public transport.
