Learn German in Cologne
Accommodation in Cologne
German language students in Cologne generally stay with local German hosts, in a private household or enjoy living a more independent life style in a shared apartment in Cologne. Please be aware that as Cologne is a large city and whilst the college is centrally located and easy to reach by public transport there will inevitably be a daily commute to college (approx 30/45 mins each way).
Prices for all accommodation options are quoted
on the CESA Course Finder.
Private Household:
Students can stay with local hosts on a single room, half-board (breakfast and evening meal) or breakfast only basis. Host accommodation in Cologne can be offered on a two weeks+ arrangement on request, although normally hosts are booked on a 4 week+ basis. The hosts provide you with a chance to sample German daily life, first-hand, however bear in mind, Cologne is a large city and though the public transport system is efficient, well priced and punctual and the college is just moments from the Hauptbahnhof (main station) commuting to college from your host must be viewed as inevitable.
Shared apartments:
For those looking for more independence, the apartment option allows students to live with other students or local German people, but leaves you free to come and go as you please and cook for yourself! You rent a single room in the apartment on a self-catering basis with access to the communal facilities (bathroom and kitchen). This is a popular accommodation option in Cologne, as it enables younger international students (18yrs/25yrs) to live together. Allow around 20-50 minutes commute by public transport to reach the school.
Apartment residence:
Live in a residence, some 20 minutes commute to college with other language students. Students have their own room with en suite bathroom and kitchenette with shared communal room. VERY popular in summer season, early reservations are essential for July/August period. These are simply furnished apartments and are only offered to students aged 18/27yrs of age.
Private studio apartments:
Ideal for adult students who require personal space and are happy to pay extra for a few more luxuries than the simpler accommodation options can provide.
Usually only offered from one calendar month+ duration.
The studios are self contained and fully furnished.
Hotels:
Offered on request.
Please ask CESA staff for details.

Students are welcome to take advantage of the transfer service from the airport to their accommodation for an extra charge. Prices are quoted on the CESA Course Finder.
