Stress-free storage with pickup for students

Storagehotel offers flexible storage plans – you only pay for what you store, and not for empty space. During booking on our website, you will select the items you want to store with us, and our website will instantly give you accurate pricing.

The typical storage plan for a student is usually at least 7 Storagehotel Large Boxes. We recommend you order more boxes than you think you need. You can always return unused boxes during your Pickup Appointment at no charge.

If you end up requiring less or more space than you originally booked, simply let us know as soon as possible, and we'll adjust your storage plan accordingly.

We specialize in the storage of boxes and common household items for students. Items that are typically stored with us include boxes, bins, bags, and suitcases.

During booking on our website, you will find options to add the most commonly stored items. If you have an uncommon item, you can also enter the dimensions to create a custom item. Mattresses and mattress toppers are required to be in a sealed bag for hygienic reasons.

Items of dangerous, hazardous, or illegal nature are prohibited – please visit our FAQ page to see the full list of prohibited items. We have the right to reject any items that do not comply with our standards. If you have an item of unique nature or are unsure if we can store it, please contact us.
