Teaching English + Learning Spanish In Barcelona, Spain

Course Accommodation: 280 - 490 Euros

As the course is intensive so it's very important that your accommodation is comfortable, easy to reach and allows you to study at home if you want to. We provide an optional accommodation service to all who request it. Rooms and amenities are up to the expected standard before allocating them.

Accommodation for trainees falls into the following main categories:

I. Shared Flats
These are easily accessible via public transport and travelling time to and from the school is no more than thirty minutes. Flats are fully functional and well equipped to European standards. You will have your own room (390-490 EUR) or a shared room (280-390 EUR) in a 3-4 bedroom flat with other trainees and/or local & international students as flatmates. The flats include a furnished kitchen, a fully-equipped bathroom and WC. Bedrooms are furnished with a single or double bed, chair, clothes-closet and bedside table. Some rooms include study desks or there are common study areas. There are also other essential household items and in most cases a washing machine, but dryers are rare. Blankets and bed sheets are provided, but bath towels are not. Flatmates will decide the smoking rules for each apartment.

  • Availability
    Course accommodation is available from the Sunday before the first day of the course to the Saturday after the last day of the course. We can often allow trainees to move into the accommodation a few days early, or stay a few days after, but we cannot guarantee it. Extra nights are priced at 15-20 Euro and are based on availability. If you would like to know if you can arrive early or leave late please ask before you make any travel plans and we will confirm availability in writing. If you choose to arrive before the available dates you will have to make hostel or hotel reservations for your first night(s) in Barcelona.

II. Family Home Stay
