There are so many perks included in your rate! Let’s break it down.
For hotels located in the Netherlands, your rate also includes bed linen, bath towels and bi-monthly room cleaning. Keep in mind that the laundry room is available, but washing and drying are not included in your rate! More information is to be found in the laundry section of this FAQ.
Please see our Terms and Conditions.
Suites have a private kitchen. If you’re staying at one of our locations in The Netherlands and you’ve opted for a room with shared kitchen access, you’ll share the kitchen with 7 – 13 other guests (students with students, Short Stay guests with Short Stay guests). Each shared kitchen has designated, individual shelf space for each member in the cupboards, the refrigerator and the freezer. In Barcelona and Paris, communal kitchens also include additional living room and television. Barcelona kitchens are shared among 11 students; Paris kitchens are shared among 7-10 guests. If you’re staying in Florence, your communal kitchen is shared with all residents. Each floor has a small kitchen pantry where you can store food.
If you’re staying in any of our hotels in the Netherlands as of September 2017, then YES! If you’re staying in another location, bed linen and towels are not included, just the pillows and blanket.
This is relevant to locations offering bikes! No, but you can get your custom bike insured against theft. The insurance fee is only €35, covering 5 months, and €70 covering 10 months. It’s smart to consider getting bike insurance because getting your bike stolen can happen to the best of us – and if you’re insured you only pay €90 (your own risk), which is a lot less compared to the full €350; in the case that you don’t have bike insurance.
If you’re staying at any of our locations in the Netherlands, you get bi-monthly room cleaning and monthly linen change. Your shared kitchen gets regular surface cleaning. And all common areas are cleaned daily! For properties outside of the Netherlands, all common areas, including the communal kitchens, are cleaned daily. Extra room cleaning is provided as an additional service. Options include weekly cleaning and linen change bookable on the online platform. The price for these services depends on room type and location.

Unfortunately, Semester Packages have fixed move in and out dates that match the semesters in an academic year. It is possible to arrive up to 2 weeks early, but if you’re looking for truly flexible move in and out dates, you should book a Short Stay Package.

If you’d like to move in more than two weeks in advance, you will need to book a Shortstay Package – just remember to book your reservation until September 1st (not August 31st) or February 1st (not January 31st). If you’ve booked a room in Barcelona or Paris, please send an early arrival request to your booking agent.

When you book a room, you need to pay a deposit, estimated during the booking process, at the time of booking. After that, in the student portal, invoices must be paid in accordance with the agreed upon instalments. For locations in Barcelona and Paris, additional registration fees apply.
If you have booked a Semester Package in one of our locations in Netherlands, you may notice that your rate changes every month. That is because you pay a daily rate which is due at the end of the month. So, you pay more for months with 31 days, less for days with 30 days and you get really excited when February rolls around.
