hostelVisiting London isn’t cheap, so staying in a hostel is a great way to stretch your travel budget. But finding the right hostel can cause a few headaches, especially with all the choices out there. There are loads of hostels to choose from, and it seems like there are almost as many websites about London hostels, too. Some of them aren’t worth your time, but to find the one you like best you’ve really got to try them all out at least a bit to find the one that suits you.

Many of the hostel booking sites out there are listing the same properties as every other website, so some things to look for that will set booking services apart are: Do they have good maps for the hostel’s location and the location of the major tourist sights in the city? Do they give you good directions for getting to the hostel from the nearest bus or metro stop? Do they have photos of the hostel so you can see what you’re booking? Try the sites out and you should end up with a favorite.

To help you save a little time, here are the links to some of the hostel booking sites for London hostels:
