From Ar­rival to De­par­ture – Your Stay with Us

The rental of our apartments is on a monthly basis, with a maximum tenancy period of six months. The tenancy agreement commences on the first calendar day of the month (except in January) and always ends on the last working day (Monday to Friday) of the month.

Rent must be transferred to the account specified on the invoice by the 5th day of the respective rental month. For rental periods of several months, it is also possible to pay the total amount in advance. 

Cash payments are only permitted in exceptional cases. If no other method of payment is available, please contact the Accounts Department (Division 1.1) directly or ask your guest coordinator (see booking form) for assistance.

The key may only be collected by the tenant (guest) and solely upon presentation of a valid identity card. Collection takes place via the Service Centre or the security staff (porter) located in the foyer of the main entrance near the library. Key handover begins on the first day of the rental month, from 1:00 p.m. onwards.

After this, the key can be collected at any time (24/7 – including nights, weekends, and public holidays).

*Please note: In January, the rental period begins later than usual (see reservation form).

The latest possible move-out date is the final working day (Monday to Friday) of the month. The apartment must be vacated by 10:00 a.m. on that day.

The guest is responsible for keeping the apartment in a well-maintained condition and ensuring it is aired regularly.

To support the upkeep of the apartments, a professional basic cleaning is carried out on working days (Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. onwards). This service cannot be cancelled and does not exempt the tenant from the obligation to clean the apartment regularly.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept luggage in advance, as the guesthouse does not have a designated luggage storage area.
