Overview and Location
SPC 34117 is a student residence located in Kassel, Germany, a mid-sized city in the state of Hesse known for its documenta art exhibitions and green spaces. The exact street address is not provided beyond “Germany,” but the property’s geolocation (51.317, 9.492) places it within the urban area, roughly central relative to the city’s main districts. The building is classified as a branded independent house, offering one‑bedroom unit types (1b) as well as shared or independent living spaces under the same operator. It is the only property from this listing platform in Kassel, which may limit direct comparisons within the same booking system.
Room Types and Pricing
The listing specifies two unit types: “1b” (typically a one‑bedroom apartment) and “branded_independent_house” – likely a managed student hall or purpose‑built block. No price range (min or max) is published for this property, and the platform’s city‑wide from‑price is also unavailable. As a result, all financial details are indicative and must be confirmed directly with the operator. The minimum lease term is 4 months, with availability from 09 July 2026. This suggests the property may offer both short‑term and standard semester stays. Amenities include a lift (elevator) and Wi‑Fi. Deposits are not listed; prospective tenants should ask about upfront payments, especially in light of some past resident experiences (see below).
What Residents Say
The property has a Google rating of 3.2 out of 5 based on 93 reviews. Three reviews are provided in the dataset. The first, by Ahmed Amouri (1 star), reads in full:
“I had the worst experience with Studierendenwerk Kassel. It started with them asking me to pay 6 months and deposit in advance. When I arrived I spend 15 days with no LAN nor WLAN when I have to be in quarantine for 10 days! Although I emailed the Studierendenwerk and explain the problem from the start and called the i”
The second review, also by AHMED AMOURI (1 star):
“My name was supposed to be added to the letterbox at the start of the month. It’s now the 19th, and despite being told every day that it will be done “tomorrow”. Update: waw, they removed my name after I added it myself! 🙃 very mature 👏”
The third review, by Md Abdul Kadir (1 star):
“The service is too bad. Students will have to wait at least one year or more to get a room in student halls.”
These reviews highlight issues with communication, internet readiness, and extended waiting times for housing allocation. However, note that the first two reviews refer to “Studierendenwerk Kassel” – the local student services organisation – not necessarily the private operator of SPC 34117. The property may be affiliated with or managed by that entity. The last review suggests a broader difficulty in Kassel’s student housing market.
Who This Residence Suits / Does Not Suit
Suits: Students who need a room from September 2026 (or July 2026) and are comfortable with a self‑contained one‑bedroom or a managed independent house setting. The lift is useful for upper floors, and included Wi‑Fi reduces one setup task. The 4‑month minimum lease is flexible for exchange students or those with short‑term placements. Given the low number of units on this platform, it may be a fallback option if alternatives are exhausted.
Does not suit: Students who expect immediate, responsive service based on past reviews. The negative comments suggest potential delays in internet activation and administrative follow‑up, which could be critical during quarantine or early move‑in periods. Also, if the operator is indeed the local student services body, wait times for a room have been described as over a year – this property appears to have been listed for later availability (July 2026), so current availability may be limited. Budget‑conscious students will need to clarify the full cost, including deposits, since no price is listed.
Booking Timing and Availability
The earliest move‑in date is 09 July 2026 (September format: likely 9 July 2026). Because the property’s price is not published, early inquiry is recommended to avoid any surprises around advance rent payments (as mentioned in one review, six months’ rent plus deposit was requested). Students planning for the winter semester 2026/27 should contact the operator well before that date to secure a room and understand payment terms. Given that only one listing exists for Kassel on this platform, competition may be moderate, but the negative reviews could reduce demand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price shown final or indicative?
The listing does not display any price. All figures presented elsewhere (if any) are indicative and must be confirmed with the operator. Neither a minimum nor maximum rent is published for SPC 34117, and the city’s reference from‑price is also missing. Always request a binding offer in writing.
How reliable are the online reviews?
The three quoted Google reviews are all 1‑star and focus on administrative delays, internet issues, and long waiting lists. They were left by the same user (Ahmed Amouri) twice plus one other user. The small sample size (93 total reviews) and the fact that they refer to “Studierendenwerk Kassel” may or may not reflect the current operator of this specific residence. It is advisable to ask the operator directly for recent feedback or a trial viewing.
What is the minimum lease and deposit?
The minimum lease is 4 months. Deposits are not stated – one review mentions that six months’ rent plus a deposit were requested in advance. This could be a requirement for some new tenants. Confirm the deposit amount and payment schedule before signing any contract.
