A hotel room for ten people for six weeks is expensive and impractical; a one-year lease is the wrong tool for a project that runs for a season. Weekly and temporary accommodation in Leipzig sits between the two: a fully furnished apartment booked for exactly the weeks a project needs, direct from the owner, with everything a team needs to actually live out of it rather than just sleep in it.

Why Apartments Instead of a Hotel for Project Teams
A hotel works for a single night away from home. For a project team staying several weeks, it turns into a different problem: no kitchen, no room to spread out drawings or laptops, and breakfast billed per person per day on top of the room rate. A furnished apartment gives each team a real kitchen, a washing machine, and – depending on the apartment – two to four separate bedrooms, so colleagues are not sharing one hotel room just to keep the budget down.
For the person actually booking – a project lead, an HR coordinator, a dispatcher – it also means fewer moving parts. One booking covers the whole team for the whole stay, instead of several individual hotel reservations that all need extending, shortening or rebooking whenever the project schedule shifts. It also keeps the group together in one building rather than scattered across a hotel's upper floors, which tends to matter more than clients expect once a project runs past the first couple of weeks.
How Booking Works
Every apartment is rented directly from fairschlafen – no booking portal, no commission, no third party in between. The process itself is short:
- Send the dates, the number of people and the preferred area by WhatsApp or phone.
- Get a confirmation with the apartment and the price, usually within the same working day.
- Check in from 15:00 on arrival day; check out by 11:00 on departure day. Other times are possible by arrangement.
- If the project runs longer than planned, just let us know – stays are extended whenever the apartment is free for the following weeks.
On request, every booking can be invoiced to the company with VAT clearly stated, so it goes straight into your accounting rather than a stack of personal hotel receipts.
Which Apartments Fit Which Team Size
Apartments are sized for two to six people each, and several apartments in the same building or neighbourhood can usually be combined when a project brings eight, ten or more people to Leipzig at once – so a 12-person crew does not have to split across unrelated hotels on opposite sides of the city. A few examples of what is currently available:
2 rooms · 5 beds · Leipzig-Northeast
2 rooms · 4 beds · Leipzig-Paunsdorf
2 rooms · 6 beds · Leipzig-Gohlis
Close to BMW, Porsche, the DHL Hub, the Trade Fair and the Airport
Leipzig's largest employers and project sites are spread around the edge of the city rather than in the centre: the BMW and Porsche plants to the north, the DHL and Amazon logistics hub near Leipzig/Halle Airport to the east, and the exhibition centre (Leipziger Messe) just north of the city. fairschlafen's apartments are spread across several districts – north-east, east and south-west Leipzig – specifically so a team can book close to its actual work site instead of commuting across the whole city every day. If you tell us which plant or site your team is working at, we can point to the closest apartment directly. This matters more than it might seem: a 20-minute commute each way adds up fast across a six-week assignment, and a team that is tired from traffic before the shift even starts is not a team working at its best.
Prices at a Glance
Prices start from €18 per person/night when four to six people share an apartment; smaller groups pay more per head, as with any shared accommodation. For the full breakdown by group size and city, see How Much Does Worker Accommodation Cost?. If your team is staying for several months rather than a few weeks, Long-Term Furnished Rental Leipzig covers the terms that apply then.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum stay?
No fixed minimum – apartments are booked by the week. Most contractor and project-team stays run 1 to 12 weeks, and we are happy to quote for shorter or longer periods too.
Can we get an invoice for the company?
Yes. On request we issue a business invoice with VAT clearly stated, made out to your company rather than the individual guest.
Can we extend if the project runs longer than planned?
In most cases, yes. Let us know as early as possible and we will extend the stay as long as the apartment is still free for the following weeks.
Is parking available?
Most apartments have free parking directly at the building or on the street nearby – useful for teams arriving with a company vehicle or van.
How fast do you reply to a request?
Usually within the same working day. WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach us with your dates, team size and preferred area.
