1 HOSTELS Hostels are reasonably priced accommodation and are a good alternative to university halls where you will be able to meet and mix with students from many different schools and colleges in London. Most halls are not within walking distance of SOAS so you will need to use public transport. Please see individual hostel for further information. The following is a selection of hostels that caters for students with children, couples, single sex occupancy and short and long term stays. Bookings: Bookings with this type of accommodation must be made directly with the hostel. We strongly recommend that you apply as soon as possible.
