Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a viewing take?

Viewing their space in person usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes. They also offer virtual tours if you can't visit them! However, in both cases, they would like to ask you to make an appointment in advance.

Can I choose who my flatmates will be?

Some of their Spaces offer apartments where you can live with your friends. In this case, each of you will rent one bedroom in the apartment. All you need to do is choose the same apartment number during the booking process. Please note, this is subject to availability – so it’s best to book early to secure your shared flat.

If I don’t get on with my new flatmates can I change rooms?

They want to make sure that you love living with them. Sometimes it takes a little while to adjust and get used to living with your flatmates. But if you don’t get along with your new flatmates, it may be possible to change apartments subject to availability.

What is rental deposit insurance?

This is an alternative to a classic deposit payment by bank transfer. A rental deposit insurance is the promise of a bank or insurance company to cover the arising obligations. For this, instead of paying the entire deposit amount, you must pay a certain fee (usually an annual contribution) to your bank or insurance company to obtain the rental deposit certificate, which you must submit to your landlord. In the event of a payment claim, this amount must then be paid to the beneficiary. The rental deposit insurance must be issued by a German bank or insurance company.

Do I need to be a full-time student to book an apartment?

Usually, they only accept full-time students, but exceptions are occasionally possible. Get in touch to discuss your options further.

I recommend this place as I got a lot of support from the staffs here. Every time I had little problems in the house, the staff will come up the next day and fix all the problems. The most impressive fact was that when I was in a trouble, they helped me out immediately to solve the problem. They made sure every time I feel fine and feel safe. The apartments' common rooms are getting cleaned very regularly and the corridors are always clean. The rooftop view is amazing indeed. This place is well connected to the city, Goethe Uni and Frankfurt School. There's tram, train, bus stops very close to the place so it is very conveinient for students and workers both. When you have a night out with friends till late, it won't cost much to take a taxi and come back here since it's close to the city center. If you are new from another country or another city, it's a definite plus to live in here as you will get a big support from this place.

Very Nice student residence, the people who work there, are super nice and always ready to help. The location is perfect and close to public transport. Perfect for International students that don‘t want to run into a lot of trouble or German „Bureaucratie“ while moving to Frankfurt. The apartments are clean and pretty new. Highly recommend.

Woodrow Miller

5.0

The "Alvarium" (Latin for beehive) is, as the noble name suggests, a refuge for the upscale, eager and curious spirit. It represents an equilibrium between relaxation and urban pleasure. Its structure and excellent location offer the student a tailor-made solution between the extremes: If you want to concentrate on learning in peace, this is possible without any problems thanks to the architecturally sophisticated construction of the noise elimination. No other building in the vicinity offers such a large roof terrace with a perfect view of the skyline. This is only topped by the in-house reception, which is almost always available and can provide you with information, budgetary resources and lots of love.
