We understand the unique challenges international students face when arriving in the Netherlands. Many come from faraway countries, leaving behind their homes, families, and social networks. Finding suitable housing can be one of the biggest hurdles they face. Securing accommodation is often crucial not just for their studies, but for their ability to stay in the Netherlands at all. Without housing, many students are forced to return home, unable to pursue their educational goals.
The housing market in the Netherlands is highly competitive, with high demand and limited supply. Given this, we decided to focus specifically on international students. They often lack a local support system, making it even harder to find suitable accommodation. By specialising in short-term housing, we help keep the housing market in motion, providing students with a place to stay while they get settled and search for something more permanent, if needed.
As a platform, we do not own the properties listed on our site. Instead, we facilitate the booking process, connecting international students with the right short-term housing options. Offering short-term accommodation makes us the best place for students to start their journey in the Netherlands.
But how do we define international students? It’s simple:
1. Enrolled in an accredited University
2. Foreign Passport (No Dutch Passport)
You may also be enrolled at a foreign university and coming to the Netherlands for an exchange or internship.
So, if you’re an international student, studying or participating in an exchange or internship programme, and you hold a foreign passport, you’ve found the right place. At SHTH, we specialise in offering short-term, upscale housing, so you can focus on your studies and enjoy your time in the Netherlands.
Welcome to SHTH, where we’re committed to making your Dutch experience extraordinary!
At SHTH, we understand that your journey as an international student is a dynamic one. Sometimes, you're here for a semester or two, and other times, you're making a more extended commitment. That's why we offer flexible, fixed-term contracts with a maximum stay of 12 months.
Why 12 months? We believe in keeping the housing market in motion. When you choose a short stay with us, you're not just finding a temporary home; you're also creating space for another international student. Your departure opens up opportunities for newcomers to experience the Netherlands and find more permanent housing.
It's a cycle that keeps the student community thriving. You land here, explore the Dutch culture, and when it's time to move on, you pave the way for someone else's adventure. Plus, we make sure your short stay is comfortable and convenient with furnished accommodations and utilities included.
So, whether you're here for a semester or the full academic year, your short stay with us isn't just about where you live; it's about the role you play in keeping the housing market dynamic and accessible for all international students.
Short stays can be a whirlwind of adventure, but they also come with unique challenges. Packing, unpacking, and adapting to a new place in a short time can be overwhelming. That's where we step in.
Imagine arriving at your new home, and everything is ready for you. Our furnished accommodations are designed to make your short stay hassle-free. Whether you're here for a few months or a year, we’ve got everything prepared.
It is mandatory for the landlord or agency to ensure the property is fully furnished before it can be listed on our website. We want to provide you with a worry-free start, and that’s why we make sure all the essential items are in place before you even arrive.
Furniture? Check. No need to worry about buying, transporting, or selling furniture. Utilities like Internet, gas, water, and electricity? Check. All set up, so you don’t have to think about a thing.
But we don't stop there. From regular cleaning and maintenance to a fully stocked inventory of essentials, we ensure your comfort. Plus, our student services are here to assist you with registering, deregistering, applying for insurance, phone plans, and even finding a local GP. Have a question about the best places to eat or any other concern? We're just a WhatsApp message away.
And for those times when things go wrong, like locking yourself out after a night out, the 24/7 service phone is there to save the day.
Additionally, we offer bedding, kitchen, cleaning, and laundry essentials upon request. While some services are included, additional requests, such as having your fridge stocked upon arrival, may require extra fees.
Our goal is to make your short stay as effortless as possible, so you can focus on the experiences that matter. It’s all about simplicity and convenience, allowing you to make the most of every moment.
