Overnight guests and extra beds
As a rule, the apartments of the Guesthouses of the University of Mannheim may only be occupied by the number of people indicated in the tenancy agreement. One-room apartments may only be occupied by one person. As regards the bigger apartments, the number of people allowed to live in them depends on the number of beds available in the respective apartment (i.e. 2–4 persons).
For overnight stays (e.g., by friends or relatives), an extra bed (foldable bed with bedding) can be booked for up to 1 week. Due to space constraints, this option is not available for one-bedroom apartments. The fee covers primarily the additional utility costs (electricity, heating, water), as well as assembly/
Rent per day: EUR 10
The fee will be charged per day, so the minimum rate for one night is EUR 20 (for example: 1 night from 3 April to 4 April = 2 days = EUR 20)
Children
As part of the university’s family-friendly policies, the following special prices for accompanying children have been set:
Children (up to 11 years of age): A lump sum of EUR 20 per child is to be paid only once irrespective of the rental period.
This sum includes a travel cot and a highchair for younger children. If the child is too big for the baby cot, an extra bed will be provided. Thanks to generous donations from our university staff members, we are also able to offer further children's equipment (e.g. a children's bike, a children's car seat, etc.). Moreover, a playroom for children is located on the 4th floor of the Guesthouse in L2, 2–4. Here, children will find many toys that they may also take to their apartment (but please return them prior to your check-out).
Please note: Since the lump sum for children is intended to cover the incurring additional costs of the child, it will be charged regardless of whether you bring your own travel cot or not.
