Shared apartment

These apartments are simple, yet very comfortable. They are located 15 minutes from the school via subway and are equipped with the following facilities:

  • Single rooms
  • Fully equipped kitchen and shared bathroom
  • Communal television


On average, the apartments consist of 3 rooms (single and double rooms) and the apartment will be shared with approximately 5 or 6 roommates.  

There is no access to internet (WIFI) or telephone. In case you need internet, you can use the WIFI at the language school. This apartment is not equipped with a washing machine (there is a launderette near the apartment where you can wash your clothes). Bed linen is available in the apartment however, there are no towels. The price includes a weekly clean-up of the communal areas.

Students must be a minimum of 20 years of age to stay in an apartment.

Single-use-Apartment

For those looking for total independence, the school offers private studios located 15 minutes from the school by subway.

These small, private apartments are equipped with a fully furnished American kitchen, a private bathroom and a television. Bed linen is available in the apartment however, there are no towels. There is no washing machine but there is a laundry area in the building in which you can find coin-operated washing machines.

There are apartments for two persons as well. We kindly request you to contact us about the prices of these apartments.

Students must be a minimum of 18 years of age to stay in a studio apartment.

Host family

The best way to get to know the German language, the German way of living and German habits is by living with a German family. A family can consist of a couple (with or without children) or a single person (young or old). You will share the bathroom and the kitchen with the other members of the family and you will be provided with towels and bed-linen.

With regard to lodging with host-families, it is only possible to book accommodation with breakfast or half-board (breakfast and dinner). If you would like to book bed and breakfast lodging, you may use the kitchen to prepare your meals. 
 
Please be aware of the fact that Cologne is a big city and that our host-families do not live in the city center. The distance from the families to the schools is approximately 20-40 minutes by public transport (metro or bus). All the families live near a bus stop so you can easily get to the school which is located in the historical center of Cologne.
