Coming to Spain to study Spanish provides students with a new and exciting adventure. Our team’s goal is to ensure that our students feel “at home” through our wide range of accommodations. Our accommodation staff is always available to serve as intermediaries, to assist in the communication between our students and the hosts of the chosen accommodation, whenever necessary.
Accommodation in the city center: most of our accommodations are within 20 minutes walking distance from our Spanish school.
Room availability: from the Sunday before the start of the course (at 14:00) until the Saturday after the end of the course (at 10:00).
Possibility to experience different housing options: for students staying more than 4 weeks.
Flexibility with special requirements, such as vegetarian diets, animal allergies, etc.
General services included: electricity, gas, water, local taxes…
Possibility of staying in a hotel or guesthouse.
*If your accommodation does not meet the standards set by Mester or you consider that it does not meet the agreed conditions, you can request a change and we will try to solve your situation as soon as possible.
Staying with a Spanish family is a good complement to the course, as it will help you make the most of your stay here, give you the opportunity to experience the authentic Spanish lifestyle, give you a great insight into the culture and help you master Spanish more easily.
We have known many of the families for years and can assure you that they all have extensive experience providing accommodation to international students.
They have been selected for their authenticity and for the personal attention they can give to our students. The families can host Spanish students during the school term (October to June), as well as several international students like you.
We make sure that the number of students (maximum 4 students per family) is appropriate for the type of accommodation and that there is a mix of different nationalities. This ensures that all communication is in Spanish, which is of course the official language within the family.
Students must take into account that the customs and, above all, the food are different from those at home. They must also respect the rules of the house in terms of timetables, uses and behaviour with the members of the family, with other students who may be staying there and with the rest of the neighbours in the building.
During the academic year, the residences are occupied mainly by Spanish students, but in the summer months (July, August and September) they are used almost exclusively by international students. They are spacious rooms with shared bathrooms and common areas equipped with television and video and sound systems. Laundry service is also available.
If you are looking for comfort and quality while making friends with people from all over the world, this is the ideal accommodation for you.
Mester has its own residence in the building next to the school, just 5 minutes from the Plaza Mayor and with capacity for 60 people.
It is an ideal option for groups or if you are looking for comfort and proximity, since you will be 1 minute away from the school. The price includes full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner) at the bar El Ideal.

If our facilities are fully booked, we can accommodate students in other residences located within a 10-minute walk.

All student apartments are less than a 10-minute walk from our school. Living with other international students creates a diverse environment and enriches your stay. Unlike homestay accommodation, there is a possibility that you will not communicate with your flatmates in Spanish.
Our student apartments have several rooms and a fully equipped kitchen. It is a shared living space with other international students, although each resident will have their own key and the option to choose a single or double room.
It is an economical option with few luxuries. Students who choose this form of accommodation will have to prepare their own meals. There is no television or telephone in the apartment; however, most apartments have the option of adding Internet or Wi-Fi (check availability).
This type of accommodation requires students to be responsible for cleanliness and respect for their roommates and neighbors. Therefore, the student apartment is only offered to adults. There is no curfew or restrictions on entering and leaving the apartment.
Weekly cleaning of common areas (kitchen, bathroom(s) and hallway) is included.
