Gibraltar Guesthouse
The Building
Right next to Chalmers Campus Johanneberg, with the address Gibraltarvallsvägen 2, you will find this newly formed building. Spread out over six stories there are 100 individual student apartments, with a bus stop right outside and a short bike ride to the city center. Gibraltar Guesthouse is primarily for international master students and guest researchers at Chalmers University of Technology.

All apartments at Gibraltar Guesthouse are the same size and have the same floor plan but it can be inverted depending on where it is situated in the building.

Monthly rent
As a tenant, you are billed for rent every month, and the rent is charged over twelve (12) months.
In this property we apply IMD. Read more about how it works here.

Payment and charging
How do I pay my invoice?
You pay either on My Pages or at our customer reception.
Do the electricity and hot water costs come at a special note?
No, all your costs come at the same note.
Where do I see my electricity and hot water costs?
You can see this in your payment slip. Today it is not possible to see your consumption, but one of our goals is that you should be able to follow your consumption.
How much will I pay?
This is a question that we can not answer as it depends on your consumption. However, the basic rent, furniture, internet and the fee to the Council of Trustees will be the same costs every month. The cost of electricity and hot water is based on your consumption.
How can I influence my costs?
An individual measurement and billing of electricity and hot water costs means that you as a tenant have the opportunity to influence your monthly costs. You can for example reduce your costs through quick showers and low-energy lamps. More tips are available under Energy saving tips.
Why do you implement IMD?
This is done for environmental and energy reasons.
What happens when I cancel my contract?
On your last payment slip we calculate a cost based on your previous consumption. You will not be charged afterwards.
Furnishing, appliances, and fixtures
All of the apartments are furnished. Every apartment is equipped with a single bed including a bedside table, chairs, Kitchen table, armchair and lights, a stove, an oven, a fridge/freezer, a cooker hood, blinds, a shower curtain rail, and a clothes hanger. Chalmers made an apartment tour in one of our apartments in Gibraltar Guesthouse, which you can see above this section.
Storage Unit
Every apartment has a storage unit inside the apartment, there is also room for bicycles.
Parking facilities for bicycles and cars
Bicycles can be parked in each apartment. There is no parking for cars that are just for tenants, but there are other parking facilities close to the building.
Laundry room
A communal laundry room is situated on the ground floor. This room houses three laundry stations each consisting of a washing machine, a tumble dryer, and a hot air-drying cabinet. The room is accessible around the clock and bookable outside the laundry room. We have taken the next step towards environmentally friendly living and will start using automatic detergent dosing. This means the washing machines will provide you with detergent for every wash and you do not have to add your detergent. Furthermore, it is not possible to use softener.
Postbox
A postbox per apartment for receiving mail is just inside the front main door on the entrance floor.
Recycling and waste-handling
As a tenant, you can sort and fraction your household waste adjacent to the building.
Common spaces
As a tenant, you have access to several facilities in our properties. Via The Council of trustees (FR) you can book billiards room, music room, cinema room, borrow tools, etc.

The apartments reserved for Master students at Chalmers University of Technology are not published on our web page. They are administrated separately by the Student Center at Chalmers in collaboration with us. We do not choose who will be offered apartments for international master students. This is done by the Student Center.
Every spring, normally by mid June we receive a list from the Student Center at Chalmers University of Technology, with the students to offer a tenancy contract at Chalmers Studentbostäder. However, the actual contract will be e-mailed to the ones on our list after some time, so please be patient.
If you are on our list, and receive an email from us with information that you will be offered an apartment, it will take a few weeks before you get the actual offer.
Please note that you will only be offered one apartment, and if you reject our offer you will need to find an apartment on your own.
If you want to increase your chances to get one of our regular apartments, and not only the apartments through the Student Centre, you need to register in our housing queue as well. Please click here to register in our housing queue. Please note that it usually takes about 1.5-2 years until you are offered your first tenancy contract.
Available apartments are published on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Therefore, you need to both register your interest to the Student Centre and register in our housing queue at the same time to increase your chances if you need a regular apartment after the tenancy limitation period of the Masters apartment. This does, however not increase your chances of getting a Masters apartment from Chalmers since it is a separate system.
Your housing host
Michelle Monteiro is your housing host and will help you with fault reports and inspections of the apartment. Faulty reports are done through My Pages.
