There are many different accommodation options in Edinburgh during the summer; here we have listed those we think offer the best value for money. We can book you homestay accommodation; other options you must book directly with the provider.
Edinburgh is very busy during the summer, especially during August when thousands of tourist and visitors come to the city. Book your accommodation as early as possible.
Homestay - affordable accommodation
Many students choose to stay with a homestay host, as this provides an excellent chance to practise your English. We do our best to ensure students from the same country are not placed in the same household. Most of the accommodation offered is on the west side of Edinburgh, approximately 15 - 20 minutes from the city centre by bus or car. All of our homestay accommodation is inspected every two years by Accommodation staff in accordance with Accreditation UK (British Council) criteria.

Halls of Residence and student flats
The College does not have a student residence. However there are a limited number of rooms in Halls of Residence throughout the city. It is more expensive than Homestay accommodation, but some students prefer this chance to live independently. You will normally have your own bedroom, and share a kitchen with other students. Some bedrooms have en-suite facilities; in others there will be a shared bathroom. You should book directly with the provider, NOT with the College.
Hostels are a cheap option for short stays. You will usually share a room. To book, contact the hostel directly.
