FAU’s guest houses provide rooms for guest researchers from abroad for the initial period of their stay to allow them to feel at ease right from the start and to concentrate on their research. The common rooms are the ideal location to meet and have a chat with other residents. Internet (WiFi) is available free of charge in all apartments and common rooms. You can easily reach all the guest houses by public transport.
Accommodation for (international) researchers
The minimum rental period for guest houses is one month (from the first to the last day in the month) and the maximum rental period is one year.
As a rule, you are able to check in from Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 6 pm. If the day you plan to arrive or leave is a public holiday in Germany or at the weekend, you will not be able to get the keys to the house until the following working day.
Please contact the guest house team if you have any questions or would like to make a reservation:
