Companies based in or around Stuttgart are regularly faced with the same task: employees who come for a project need accommodation – often at short notice, sometimes for several people at the same time. Stuttgart itself is one of the most expensive cities in Germany, which makes the search for affordable employee accommodation even more difficult. However, if you look beyond the city limits, you will find significantly better conditions in the region – both in terms of price and availability.
Why Stuttgart itself is often not the best choice
The state capital of Baden-Württemberg is economically strong, but that makes finding accommodation difficult. High rental prices, a tense housing market and little free capacities for short-term bookings are the rule, not the exception. For companies that book accommodation for a single weekend, this may still be doable. But if you want to accommodate an entire team for several weeks, you will quickly reach your limits in the city.
The surrounding communities offer a practical alternative here. Göppingen, Ebersbach, Altbach or Lorch are all at a manageable distance from Stuttgart and are well connected via the A8 or the B10. Those who are willing to accept a travel time of 30 to 45 minutes benefit from significantly lower prices and a much more relaxed availability.
What speaks for a place outside the city
In addition to the price, there are other arguments that speak for accommodation in the region instead of directly in Stuttgart. Parking spaces are usually much easier to find in the surrounding communities – an important point for employees who are traveling with company vehicles or vans. The living situation itself is also quieter: less traffic noise, more space, a more relaxed environment for rest after work.
This is a double advantage for companies that are looking for a fitter accommodation for a group in the Stuttgart area – better conditions and at the same time a more pleasant accommodation situation for the employees.
What good employee accommodation should offer
When choosing an accommodation for several employees, not only the price counts, but above all the practical suitability for everyday work. An apartment that looks cheap on paper but offers neither enough parking spaces nor a functioning kitchen causes more effort in everyday life than it saves in costs.
The following points should be clear when choosing:
- Enough bedrooms to accommodate the entire team
- Fully equipped kitchen for daily self-catering
- Parking for several vehicles, also for transporters
- Washing machine in the house or in the apartment
- A clear invoice issued on the company name
Those who use these criteria as a basis will find a practicable solution for larger teams without having to compromise on the equipment.
A location for the entire team
For companies that are looking for accommodation for a team of craftsmen in the Stuttgart area, bundling at a single location is an important factor. Instead of distributing employees to several addresses, a shared apartment or several units in the same house ensures a coordinated everyday life – joint journeys, meals together, a central meeting point in the evening.
With seven apartments in two locations in the Faurndau district, Raumschmide Apartments offers exactly this opportunity in Göppingen. Several units are also available in Ebersbach and Altbach, so that you can react flexibly even with growing teams.
Posting and billing for companies
Companies that regularly send employees to the Stuttgart region benefit from clear and repeatable processes when booking. An invoice for the company name, a permanent contact person and the possibility of booking additional capacities at short notice – these are factors that make everyday life in personnel planning much easier.
Anyone who builds up long-term cooperation with a landlord does not have to look for every new project from the beginning. Conditions are already known, the process has been imported, and even short-term inquiries can usually be clarified more quickly than with a completely new provider.
What to consider for multiple simultaneous bookings
For larger projects, it is possible that several teams work in different parts of the region at the same time. In such cases, central coordination of the accommodation bookings is worthwhile instead of processing each booking individually via different contact persons. The following questions help with the planning:
- Which locations are closest to the respective locations?
- Can multiple postings be made via a joint invoice?
- Is there enough capacity for all teams at the same time?
Anyone who clarifies these points in advance avoids bottlenecks and unnecessary coordination effort during the ongoing project.
Inquire directly instead of long searches
For companies that would like to inquire directly from a fitter’s accommodation, personal contact is usually the fastest way to get a binding solution. Instead of clicking through various portals, a short message with the most important key data – location, number of people, period – is often enough to get appropriate feedback.
