I'm not surprised if your budget is £80 a night just for accommodation and you're asking other 19 yo's. That's pretty steep for most students.

I wouldn't be so quick to write hostels off, most of them are just as clean as hotels and some offer private rooms, so it's not an automatic obligation to share bedroom space. The place we stayed at had them on offer for less than £30. At most a single room with wifi was about £35pn. There might not be an en-suite, but you'll have to use public bathrooms wherever you go anyway, and honestly, they're more likely to be dirtier outside the hostel than in.
