Should I choose a student hall or a private student studio for rent in Cologne?

Whether you should choose a student hall or a private student studio for rent in Cologne mainly depends on your budget, lifestyle, and priorities.

- Student halls are often cheaper and usually include utilities, internet, and shared facilities, but they offer less privacy and often have long waiting lists.

- Private student studios for rent in Cologne provide more independence, peace, and flexibility, especially in terms of rental period, furnishings, and location. The rent may be higher, but you benefit from having your own living space.

- In shared apartments or smaller studios, costs can often be managed more easily, especially when utility charges are clearly structured.

What rules apply to visitors in student apartments rented in Cologne?

Visitors are generally allowed in a privately rented student apartment in Cologne, as long as the stay is temporary and does not result in permanent shared use.

Short visits of a few days up to around 7–14 days are usually unproblematic and do not require approval.

If a guest stays in the apartment regularly for several weeks, this may be considered subletting and could require the landlord’s consent.

Anyone planning to rent a student apartment in Cologne should therefore carefully review the visitor rules in the rental agreement to avoid legal or contractual issues.
