Everything schedulers want to know
47 answers on booking, prices, facilities and formalities for worker accommodation in Stade, Bützfleth and Buxtehude. Question not covered? Write to us – we normally reply within 30 minutes.
Booking and availability
Can I book accommodation at short notice?
If a property is free, arrival is often possible the same or the next day. In urgent cases it is best to call us directly or message us on WhatsApp – that is faster than any form.
What booking periods are possible?
We are set up for project assignments, typically from a few weeks to several months. We match the term to your project. The longer the stay, the lower the rate per person per night.
Can I book individual beds or only whole apartments?
Both are possible. You can book the whole apartment exclusively for your team, or individual beds. With individual occupancy your contract workers share the kitchen and bathroom with tradespeople from other companies.
How many people can you accommodate at once?
Over 500 beds in more than 85 properties are available in the Stade area. We can normally house larger crews too, if necessary spread across several apartments a short distance apart.
Can you split a team across several apartments?
Yes. If no single apartment is large enough, we spread your team across several nearby properties. You still get one contact and one invoice.
What happens if the assignment is extended?
Just let us know. Extensions are usually possible without a new contract as long as the property is free. Get in touch as soon as it looks like the job will run on – then we can hold the space.
What happens if a project is postponed at short notice?
We know that site schedules move. Rebookings and short-notice cancellations are handled by arrangement. Get in touch as early as you can and we will normally find a solution.
How quickly do I get a response?
You normally receive a first reply within 30 minutes. The firm quote with property and price usually follows within one to two hours.
How is a booking concluded?
You send us the dates, the number of people and the site location. We check availability and send a firm quote. Your confirmation by email books the accommodation bindingly.
Prices and invoicing
What does worker accommodation in Stade cost?
Prices start at 18 € per person per night plus VAT. The exact rate depends on the property, the number of people and the length of stay, and is stated in your quote.
What does the price depend on?
On three things: which property, how many people and how long. The longer the stay and the fuller the apartment, the lower the cost per person per night.
Are utilities included in the price?
Yes. Electricity, heating, water and Wi-Fi are included. There is no additional payment at the end of the stay.
Is final cleaning included?
Final cleaning is included in the quoted price. On longer stays you can add interim cleaning – just tell us how often you want it.
Do I get an invoice made out to the company?
Yes. You receive a proper invoice with VAT shown separately, made out to your company address. It is set out so that your accounts department can post it without follow-up questions.
Can I pay by invoice?
Yes, payment by invoice via bank transfer is standard. We do not ask business customers for advance payment.
Is a consolidated invoice available?
Yes. If you have several stays or several apartments in one month, we will issue a consolidated invoice per month instead of many individual documents on request.
Is a deposit required?
For business customers we usually waive the deposit. For longer stays or larger properties we agree this case by case.
Are there discounts for longer stays?
Yes. The rate per person per night falls with the length of stay. Tell us your expected duration and we will price accordingly.
Facilities and furnishings
How are the apartments equipped?
Fully furnished and ready to move into: single beds, wardrobes, a dining table with enough seats, a fully equipped kitchen with crockery, bathroom, separate WC, balcony, washing machine and Wi-Fi.
Are there single beds or double beds?
Single beds. Our apartments are furnished for teams, not for couples – every contract worker has their own bed and their own storage.
Is bed linen provided?
Yes, the beds are made up on arrival and the linen is included in the price. On longer stays we change it by arrangement. Please ask your employees to bring their own towels.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, in all properties and at no extra cost.
Is there a washing machine?
Yes, in every apartment. On assignments running several weeks, experience shows this is one of the most important features.
Is there a separate WC?
Yes, both of the properties shown have a separate WC in addition to the bathroom. That noticeably eases the morning rush when several people have to leave at the same time.
Is there a kitchen?
Yes, fully equipped with hob, oven, fridge, crockery, pots and cutlery. Your people can cook for themselves and do not have to rely on restaurants.
Can the workers also work there?
Yes. Every apartment has a dining table with enough seats, which also works for paperwork, measurements or video calls.
Is smoking allowed?
Smoking is not permitted inside the apartments. Smoking is allowed on the balcony and outdoors.
Arrival, keys and parking
How does the key handover work?
By arrangement, evenings included. We fit around your journey – nobody should be left standing at a locked door after a long drive.
Is late arrival possible?
Yes. Tell us the expected arrival time and we will arrange the handover to suit.
Is there parking for vans?
All properties have parking spaces, most of them also suitable for Sprinter vans and trailers. State what you need in the enquiry and we will plan for it.
Can I store materials or tools?
To a limited extent and by arrangement. Tell us what you need to store and we will work out which property suits.
Who do I reach if there is a problem on site?
Us – on the same number you booked on, by phone or WhatsApp. No call centre, no ticket number.
Formalities and registration duties
Do you issue a registration certificate?
Yes. Where the length of stay requires it, we issue the landlord registration certificate (Wohnungsgeberbescheinigung), individually per employee on request. Let us know when booking and it will be ready on arrival.
What is a landlord registration certificate (Wohnungsgeberbescheinigung)?
A confirmation from the landlord that a tenant has moved in, required in Germany to register with the residents' registration office. It is mandatory whenever someone registers a main or secondary residence.
Do my workers have to register in Stade?
That depends on the length of stay and the individual case. For longer assignments registration is often required. Binding information comes from the residents' registration office in Stade – you will get the certificate from us in any case.
Do I need a written contract?
Confirmation by email is enough for the booking. If your company requires a formal contract, we will of course issue one.
What applies in the event of damage?
Normal wear and tear is priced in. If anything beyond that is damaged, we settle it directly and without red tape – please report damage promptly rather than leaving it behind on departure.
Are there house rules?
Yes, they are displayed in every apartment. In essence they cover consideration for the neighbours, quiet hours and cleanliness in the shared areas.
Region and travel times
Which locations do you have accommodation in?
The focus is Stade itself, plus Bützfleth and Buxtehude. Through our network we also cover Horneburg, Drochtersen, Himmelpforten, Harsefeld, Fredenbeck, Jork and Apensen.
How far is it to the Bützfleth industrial estate?
About 15 minutes by car from our properties in Stade, and a few minutes from Bützfleth itself. The industrial estate with the seaport is the region's largest employment site.
How far is it to the Airbus plant in Stade?
About 10 to 15 minutes by car from the Stade urban area.
What are the connections to Hamburg?
Via the A26 and the B73 you are in Hamburg in around an hour. There is also a direct S-Bahn service from Stade into central Hamburg.
Do you also arrange accommodation outside the Stade district?
Just ask. The Stade area is compact, and a suitable property is usually less than 20 minutes' drive from your site.
For companies and staffing agencies
Who is the accommodation intended for?
For construction firms, trade businesses, industrial service providers and staffing agencies that need to house employees for project assignments in the Stade area. We do not rent to tourists.
Can we reserve standing allocations as a staffing agency?
Yes, that can be arranged. If you have regular demand, talk to us about a standing agreement.
Do you work with dedicated contacts?
Yes. You have one number and one person for everything – booking, extensions, invoicing, problems on site. Even when your team is spread across several apartments.
How are you different from a booking portal?
You do not search through listings or compare calendars. You tell us what you need, we check it against the entire portfolio and come back with specific options.
Question not answered here?
Send us the dates, the number of people and the site location – you will normally get a firm quote back within one to two hours.
