Hostels
Hostels can be trendy and socially alternative places to stay, often regarded as the cheaper alternative to a hotel because they usually offer the basics only. Registering with the Youth Hostel Association (YHA) may be a suitable option if you don’t want to stay in a hotel, or, if you’d like to stay close to other people enjoying Richmond. Local YHA hostels include:
If you register, you’ll receive great rates, not only in London but all over England and Wales. So whether you’d like to take a city break to historical York, go trekking in Wales, or catch a wave in Cornwall, your membership travels with you! Visit the YHA website to discover all their hostel locations, special offers and information on membership.
