Long term hotel stay?

I plan on studying in europe and I consider staying in a hotel (4 or 5 star). Is there a special price discount when it comes to a 6-8 month stay or do the normal fees apply?Long term hotel stay?
You can negotiate special rates for a long-stay in some hotels, but as a rule hotels don't like long-stay clients. It is rather difficult to find an acceptable rate for a long period. Most long-stay clients stay for 2 months max.


The difficulty is that you block your roommate even during special events. You can sell rooms at a much higher rate during fairs, big events etc. Those are most of the time already in the budget, but sometimes come as a surprise. When all the hotels in the city are full and you have 1 room blocked at a preferential rate, it drives the sales department nuts!





However, you have the option to choose apartment hotels which offer less service than ';normal'; hotels but offer long-stay rates.

The best alternative would be to rent a furnished flat that has a cleaning service. This is possible in most major cities.Long term hotel stay?

There are also many more sensible options other than long term stay in a hotel. You'd need to put those dollars into some solid research if you're serious about studying in Munich.
Maybe a hotel isn't the best way to go.. alot of student share apartments, you probably find a place in one of those.. and its probably way more fun and cheaper.. =)!!!!!
Why would you wanna do that? Are you rich or something?
You will pay thousands a month to do that. You are better off to rent a furnished apartment. You can find really nice apartments already furnished even down to kitchen utensils.





Edit: also to get a student visa I believe you have to show a place of residency and hotels are not considered a residence.
Yes there is. You will need to state that you intent on staying there for longer periods of time, and negotiate a flat ';per diem'; rate. Also, if it is too pricey, they actually have quite a few hostels, and residential hotels that are nice in the UK.
