Accommodation in Partnership with Hosts International

hi

‘’Hosts International meets the standards for registration with the British Council as a provider of homestay, private home and independent self-catering accommodation for adults and under-18s for accredited providers in the UK”.

Types of Accommodation

Homestay

Living with a homestay is an unforgettable experience that helps students avoid cultural shock and slowly integrates and teaches them about the British culture. It has been proven that students’ welfare greatly affects their grades and ability to focus.  Our homestays are not only there to cook and provide a roof above students heads but also to interact with them, help improve their English skills and, most importantly, make them feel at home.

House Share

If students wish to have a slightly more independent lifestyle and cater for themselves, we are happy to accommodate them in outstanding house shares that are located in central London where students would be sharing their experience with other international students.
