For a multi-day assignment, many companies face the same question: hotel or worker accommodation? At first glance the hotel room often looks cheaper – but once you factor in food, laundry and space, the numbers usually tell a different story.

The direct comparison
A simple hotel room in Leipzig, Chemnitz or Berlin often costs €60–90 per night and room – no breakfast, no kitchen, usually for just one person. A worker apartment from fairschlafen costs from €18 per person per night, but includes a kitchen, washing machine and considerably more space for several people in one apartment.
Food: kitchen instead of restaurant
Anyone staying in a hotel usually eats out – that quickly adds €15–25 per meal on top of the room price. In a worker apartment, the team can cater for itself: shop, cook, reheat leftovers the next day. Over several weeks, that adds up to a significant difference.
More people, more savings
When a team of several people travels together, a hotel usually means paying for a separate room per person. In a worker apartment, several people share the apartment – and the price per head falls with every additional person who joins.
Flexibility & contract commitment
fairschlafen's worker apartments are rented directly from the owner – with no agency commission and none of the long lease terms of a classic tenancy. Moving in and out can be planned flexibly, ideal for projects of uncertain duration.
