Accommodation

Host family
One of the best ways to gain an insight into the Viennese and Austrian culture in general is to opt for accommodation with a host family during your stay in Vienna. In this way, you will be able to practise your German daily in an authentic and relaxed atmosphere. The host families are carefully selected by our partner school and generally live around
25-40 minutes away from the language school building. You will stay in a double or single room with half board or breakfast only provided.

Shared apartment
Students who wish to have more independence and share with other international students during their stay also have the option of staying in a shared apartment, which is located around
25-40 minutes away from the language school building. There are an average of 2 bedrooms per apartment and students stay in a double or single room without meals included. You will share a bathroom, kitchen and dining room with your flatmates.

Residence "Actilingua"
Actilingua acquired its own residence at the end of 2006. Located in the 11th Bezirk (district), around 10 minutes from the school by public transport and close to the Gasometer Shopping Centre, it has been entirely renovated in the Jugendstil, typical of Vienna. You can choose between a "Standard" or "Superior" apartment, with both types of apartments having a TV, radio and free WiFi connection.
With the "Standard" option, you will stay in an apartment of 60-75 m2, sharing with other international students. Staying in a double or single room, you will share the kitchen, bathroom and toilet. A cleaning service is carried out twice per week and bedlinen is provided.
If you opt for the "Superior" option, you will stay in your own apartment of 30-40 m2 with a private bathroom and toilet. The apartments are cleaned from Monday to Friday and bedlinen and bath towels are provided.
