Accomodation

At Galfir we offer accommodation with host families and in shared student flats. We can also arrange hotel and hostel bookings.

Staying with a host family is generally the best option for those who want to practice Spanish as much as possible, while staying in a shared student flat is economical and a good way to make friends with other Galfir students. Please read below for details.

Spanish Host Families

We work with a number of Spanish families living in the La Laguna area who make their homes available to our students. Options include Half Board (breakfast and choice of lunch or dinner), Full Board (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and breakfast only. In some cases, depending on availability, two students can book accommodation with the same family in individual or shared rooms.

All families have passed the school’s quality check and make an effort for students to feel at home and happy during their stay. Students can choose from family accommodation in the centre of La Laguna or in a residential area 10 minutes from the school by train or bus.

The residential area is surrounded by parks and offers a quiet, pleasant atmosphere with many facilities and things to do. An open sports centre in the area allows students to practice sports and other activities (there is a small fee for these activities).

Accommodation with host families has many advantages such us being able to intimately experience the Spanish lifestyle, practise Spanish (Spanish is spoken at all times in host families) and enjoy Spanish food.

Shared Student Flats

This option involves sharing a house or flat with other Galfir students. Students who will be studying with us for a whole academic year can also book accommodation with Spanish students, thereby involving themselves more fully in Spain’s culture.

Single and shared rooms are available upon request and meals are not included in the price. In shared flats bathroom and kitchen areas are shared. Cleaning and cooking are the responsibility of the students.

Its important students be aware that sharing an apartment means taking flat mates into consideration. Our flats are ideal for students looking for economical prices and who are willing to share with other students.

Bed linen is provided, but students should bring their own towels. Flats are normally equipped with washing machines; if not, information on nearby laundry facilities will be provided. Most flats are located in the centre of La Laguna, at walking distance from the School.
