ACCOMMODATION > AT THE RESIDENCE

At the residence you will receive the personal attention of the owners of Anders Languages® and the team of highly qualified instructors.

One of the unique features of Anders Languages® is the Anders residence, which offers the student the best advantages of staying with a local host family and staying in a hotel.

Without a doubt, living with a local host family is a great way to improve your target language in an informal way and to learn more about the local culture… but since you are a guest in someone’s private home, you need to adapt to the house rules and be prepared to compromise somewhat the privacy and comfort levels you are used to.

A hotel offers the big advantage of high privacy and comfort levels… but regardless how comfortable your hotel is, it's impersonal and you might feel somewhat isolated from what's happening around you.

At the Anders residence you will find the best of both worlds, with the amenities and privacy only a hotel can offer, and the warmth and informal feel of a home stay.

All rooms at the residence have an en suite bathroom, wireless internet, room service, a desk, a small kitchen and a fridge. The residence, a completely restored building from the late 19th century, has been awarded a four-leaf clover rating by the regional Flemish government.

You will have access to all the facilities of the residence without having to wonder if you are infringing on the privacy of the owners as they live in a nearby, but separate location. Just as in a hotel, you will be able to enter and leave the residence 24 hours a day. And if you break something, you can be sure that it won't be a family heirloom or something of emotional importance to the owners.

The cozy and relaxed atmosphere of a home-stay is guaranteed at the Anders Languages residence. You and the other guests will receive the personalized attention of the owners, instructors, and the Anders staff.

Meals are served 3 times a day and enjoyed in the patio together with other guests and the Anders team. It's the perfect moment to chat about your day and experiences and most important of all, to use your target language in an informal but realistic way.

The residence is located approx 6 km away from downtown. Hasselt is known for its free public transportation! A free bus will drive you from the porch to the city center and back if you want so!
