Important information

It is an extremely important job to find the right hosts for the right student.

The more information we have about you, the easier it is to get the right match.

At Loxdale English Centre we are very lucky to have such a talented Accommodation and Welfare Officer that, in 2024, only 2% of our students asked to move to a different host.

The vast majority were very happy with the homestay hosts that Jodie placed them with.

We have been in this area of Brighton & Hove since 1979 so we are lucky to have built up a large bank of wonderful hosts.

It takes time to make sure that we are only choosing the best, most appropriate ones for our students.

The process of finding, and keeping our hosts includes regular visits, training, taking references and seeing gas safety certificates.

The feedback from past students is also really important in our choice of whether or not to use a host.

We can ensure that all dietary requirements can be catered for but we do need to know in advance of booking your homestay host.

Vegetarians & those with allergies pay no extra charge .
Gluten Free, lactose free, halal, kosher, and vegan diets £20 per week

Bed & Breakfast
&
Hotels

Some short stay students choose to live in a bed and breakfast or a hotel. The nearest recommended hotels are the Best Western Princes Marine Hotel and Langfords Hotel. Both hotels have easy bus links to both the centre of Brighton and the School for those who do not want to walk. The hotels have comfortable rooms and good facilities and are situated close to the seafront.

Brighton & Hove is a very popular holiday destination for both British and foreign holiday makers. Accommodation books up quickly and we recommend that you look at the accommodation page of VisitBrighton for the most up-to-date availability. https://www.visitbrighton.com/accommodation

We regret that we cannot make hotel bookings for you unless we have at least 4 month’s notice and advance payment. Sites such as hotels.com and booking.com are popular for comparing prices of hotel rooms in Brighton and the surrounding areas. For convenience and ease of getting to school on time, we highly recommend that you choose a hotel in central Brighton, the Hove, Portslade, Southwick or Shoreham areas.

If you are thinking about getting a hotel in the centre of Brighton, please feel free to contact us for advice about the area/hotel you are thinking about. Some are very close to nightclubs and can be very noisy through the night.

Hotels, Private Rentals & Airbnb's

Students will find lots of information and advice about renting a private house/flat in their Student Handbook (You will receive this after booking your course). You should be prepared to have the names and details of at least two people who have known you for a couple of years who can act as referees for prospective landlords and at least one month’s deposit. At least one of the referees should be a past employer or landlord. Renting a room or property is entirely at the risk of the student and Loxdale is not liable for any aspect of the rental. Sites such as Airbnb are often used for short term rentals.
