Whatever type of accommodation you go for, please bear in mind to book a hotel/hostel for your first nights in Hamburg. Finding a room in Hamburg may take a while, especially at the beginning of the academic year. Most rooms –incl. the student dorm rooms in the governmental-owned dorms–are available as of September 01 only. Since your first week on campus the KLU Welcome Week will start at the beginning of September, and you should not miss the Welcome Week, please book a hotel/hostel for the first night/s.

If you need a place to stay for a few days or the first weeks (e .g. when you will start looking for an apartment after arriving in Hamburg) Hamburg offers several options:

With a small budget

• A&O Hostel: four hostel locations in Hamburg and starting from 9€ per night very affordable.

• Generator Hostel: low-priced, near the main rail station

• Instant Sleep: small hostel in the "Schanzenviertel"

• Motel One: budget hotel chain, four locations in Hamburg, including the city center

• Schanzenstern: two hostels in the districts of Sternschanze and Altona, easy to reach by public transport
• checking booking.com for last minute or season related discounts is also a good option

Hotels – comfortable accommodation near the city center

• Hotel Vorbach: hotel in a Victorian-era townhouse
• Hotel Wagner: a 3-star hotel
  
• YoHo-The Young Hotel: 3-star hotel in a city villa
