We can help you find a place to stay while studying with us

During your stay in Edinburgh, we want to make sure you are living comfortably as well as having an enjoyable learning experience with us. We at ELA can take all the hassle out of trying to find accommodation by doing that work for you.

The accommodation options we offer students include:

Quality Homestay
Student Residence
Hotels/Hostels/B&B
Private Apartments and Houses

The listed accommodation options are very convenient for students, especially if coming for short-term courses, because you won’t have to waste valuable study time looking for somewhere to stay in an unfamiliar city. All of the finer details are taken care of for you and all costs are included in a weekly fee with no surprises.

Please note that:

All of our accommodation is pre-selected and carefully chosen through personal visits by our in house Accommodation Manager. Those selected for students maintain our highest standards of safety, comfort and convenience of location.
All accommodation is booked from the Sunday before the course begins until the Saturday after the course finishes.
Both individuals and groups who book Homestay accommodation will be provided with accommodation details two weeks prior to arrival in most cases. All accommodation information is released upon receipt of full payment to ELA.

Should you wish to find your own accommodation during your stay you are welcome to do so. We would stress, however, that dealing with UK property rental laws and all the costs involved could end up being a massive strain on your time and will more than likely end up costing you a lot more money in the long run.
