Accommodation in Slovakia
Dormitories are the cheapest option, and living costs are lower than in Western Europe, especially outside Bratislava.
Dormitories are the cheapest option. Comenius University quotes about €60–90 a month in Bratislava, and Technical University of Košice about €135–150.
Private dormitories cost more than university halls but usually offer higher standards and fewer people per room.
This is a typical price including utilities, and Bratislava costs more than smaller cities such as Košice.
Where to look
University accommodation offices, private student dormitories, and local rental listing sites.

Before you pay or move
- Get the contract in writing and read the rent, deposit, notice period and which utilities are included.
- See the room in person or on a live video call before you send any money.
- Ask how much the deposit is and when it is returned.
- Keep your admission letter and a passport copy ready, because housing offices and landlords ask for them.
- Book a short stay for your first nights in case your room is not ready.
