Other Accommodations
Other accommodations are as varied as the imagination: YMCAs, YWCAs, monasteries and convents in Italy (not much partying there), private homes - whatever turns up if you look beyond the guidebook. Even though you will probably be hosteling a lot, I do recommend trying out other options; you may be pleasantly surprised. Your local tourist office is a good start, and don’t be shy about asking other travelers about unusual places they have stayed. One possibility to consider, especially if you want a single room and some peace and quiet, is student housing.
These are university residence halls that are opened to travelers when school is out for the summer. Rooms are usually quite small, simple, and clean.Worth looking into, especially for a couple, or for a hostel break. As a bonus, you can talk to your friends about “your time spent at the London School of Economics.” Student housing is usually listed in guidebooks, but you should also check at the tourist office if you’re interested.
