Accommodation and transfers

We can take care of your accommodation in Dresden if you wish – either with a friendly host family from Dresden, in a shared apartment (WG) or a private apartment, with transfer or meals – for every need and budget there is a proper “home away from home”.  If you are in Dresden for the first time and still a bit nervous, we´ll pick you up from the airport or train station, and guide you to your accommodation.

This accommodation is the best choice if you want to live individually but not too lonely, not somewhere but within the school complex.

The stay in the "Residence apartment includes:

  • Single room (double room upon request)
  • Private bathroom
  • Shared use of the kitchen with the other apartment
  • Weekly cleaning of the shared space and final cleaning of the individual room
  • Utilities and Wi-Fi included
  • Price: 200 € per week

Please note: You can book the "Residence" apartment with the written consent of parents from the age of 16 years.

In the guesthouse you can relax in a central but natural location and find peace for studying. It is very well connected to public transport, so you can reach the city center in only 30 minutes. The Kästner Kolleg is only about 25 minutes away on foot.

The various common rooms – for example a fitness room, a billiards/darts room or the brain break areas – invite you to socialize.

The stay in the guest house includes:

  • private bathroom
  • WiFi
  • cleaning and laundry service
  • use of the canteen, where fresh meals are prepared regularly (for an extra charge)
  • use of the kitchenettes on the floors
  • price per week = 200 €

You can enjoy typical German hospitality right from the start with a local Dresdner host family. Take part in everyday family life as much as you want (shared meals, leisure activities) and learn lots of good German all the while.

Host families are especially suitable for learners under 18 years old.  Staying with a host family includes:

  • Single room (double room upon request)
  • Shared use of the kitchen and bathroom (with a washing machine), a balcony and/or garden to some extent
  • Breakfast (half board upon request)
  • Utilities and Wi-Fi included
  • Price: 200 € per week*
    *= max. price. Discounts are possible – depending, e. g. on the period of the stay

 

The accommodation in a shared apartment is not only the most economical, but also the most popular with our course participants. In the "WG" you will meet interesting people. You will also gain true insight into the lifestyle and culture of the locals.
