Starting to think about your summer plans? Know that you’d like to explore the UK but don’t want the expensive summer price tag? So, what are your accommodation options? A campsite, a holiday park, a hotel or an Airbnb? Yes, these are all options, but have you ever thought about student accommodation?
Host student accommodation makes the perfect base to see all the sights. Always central and close to transport links – never worry about having to have a car.
With demand for summer accommodation in the UK set to soar in the upcoming months, availability for the key summer months, now is the best time to secure your accommodation.
But do I have to be a student to stay?
Not at all. Many of our locations are offer summer accommodation to non-students during the summer months. Friends, families, couples, business workers, are all welcome. So, whether it’s work or play, we can accommodate you. And our summer accommodation can be a lot cheaper than your traditional hotel or Airbnb.
If you’re a student already living with Host, why not extend your stay through summer, or visit another city and stay at one of our other properties? If you’re a student who’s never lived with us before, that’s fine too; we’d love to welcome you to Host.
