Group size and capacity

‍

When planning a class trip, taking group size into account is essential. Not every hostel or youth hostel can accommodate large groups, especially during popular travel times. Find out early on whether the accommodation has enough capacity for your entire class. A phone call or an email can provide a lot of clarity and avoid disappointment.

Central location and accessibility

‍

The central location of the property makes planning and carrying out the program much easier. Choose accommodation close to the most important sights and events. Good public transport connections are also important so that you can travel flexibly and independently. It is particularly practical to choose accommodation near program points that take place very early or late in order to avoid long distances.

Safety aspects

‍

Student safety is paramount. Make sure that the property has access controls and ideally a security service. Find out in advance so that parents can also reassure them. Another safety tip: Bring padlocks, as the lockers in many hostels require their own lock.

Facilities and common areas

‍

In addition to sufficient rooms and beds, the accommodation should also have enough common areas. For example, if you are planning a game night, then find out whether certain rooms can be booked privately. If you don't want to have breakfast out every morning, check whether the property offers breakfast and whether it is included or needs to be booked separately.

Reviews and recommendations

‍

Use online reviews to verify the quality and suitability of accommodation for school groups. Compare comments across platforms to get the full picture. Reviews from families or other school groups are often more helpful than reviews from party guests. Also ask colleagues about their experiences and recommendations in order to make an informed decision.
