KAPITO is in the city centre (Servatiiplatz), a few minutes away from the station. You can travel with almost any bus to Servatiiplatz. Ask your host about the best way to get here.

If you arrive at Münster Airport: there are regular buses to the centre (to the Hauptbahnhof). From there you can get a taxi. You can also take a taxi directly from the airport to your accommodation.

If you arrive at another airport: take a train to Münster. At Münster station get a taxi or a bus.

If you arrive by train: take a taxi from the station. A journey from the station to addresses in the city centre will cost about € 12 – 20. You can of course take a bus instead.

Yes. We can organize for you to be picked up at the airport. The taxi will then bring you straight to your accommodation. Please ask us at least 1 week before your arrival (the earlier the better) and send us your exact flight details. If you also need a transfer for your return, you can arrange this in our office.

Students should arrive the day before the course begins, i.e. on a Sunday. Your host will be expecting you. Please tell your host or KAPITO the approximate time of your arrival as soon as you can. If you can’t travel on Sunday but will arrive later, please let KAPITO and your host know.

If you will be in Münster one or two days early, we can ask your host if you can already move in. If you will be in Münster a lot earlier and your room isn’t free, we can recommend some reasonably priced hotels.

We send the accommodation address about 2 weeks before the start of the course. We send this the fastest way, i.e. if we have your email address, we will send you an email, so please check your mailbox regularly and send us your new email address if it changes.

If you haven’t heard anything a week before your course starts, please contact us. The message could have got lost.

All the available rooms are single rooms in an accommodation with one or more hosts (except for in apartments, where you live alone).

You can book a room with breakfast included, half-board or self-catering. Bathrooms are shared and, if self-catering, you share a kitchen with the hosts.

You will be sharing with a family, flatmates or a single person.

We can recommend reasonably-priced good local hotels on request.

A family consists of married or unmarried couples with children, some of whom may have moved out, or older couples or single mothers and fathers. Living with a family is usually more comfortable and more spacious than living in a flatshare; however, the homes are not always very central.

A “single person” refers to someone who lives alone and has a room available in their home.

A “flatshare” (Wohngemenschaft) refers to a small community of people who live together. In Münster this usually consists of students but older professionals living together is also common.

Many of the rooms are in the center of town. The rooms that are further away can easily be reached by bus, train or bicycle (most in under 30 minutes). Some hosts provide bicycles free of charge or for a small fee.

That’s not a problem. State your accommodation preferences when you register on the course so that we can take them into consideration. Please note that you will need to pay an administration fee every time we arrange a new accommodation for you (150 €).

In the KAPITO office you can get information about hotels of different price categories.

The room is only available for the period of the course (from Sunday to Saturday). Any other times must be agreed on in advance with KAPITO.

You are obliged to look after your room, to clean it before you leave and to cover the cost of any damage that may occur. There will be a handover with your hosts on the day you leave.

Things can easily get broken from time to time so we recommend taking out liability insurance. Follow this link to our insurance partners Care Concept AG:

• Online application for liability insurance for language students
• more information about liability insurance

KAPITO can organize all these insurances for you to cover even short-time courses. Please let us know if you need some help.

Normally students travel back on the Saturday after the end of their course. If your return flight is one or two days later, or if you want to stay longer, please let our accommodation office know when you register for your course.
