Weekly Furnished Apartments in Frankfurt for Contractor and Fitter Teams
A weekly furnished apartment in Frankfurt is a whole, move in ready flat that a crew books by the week instead of taking separate hotel rooms. At MONTEUR BASE you book from 18 euro per bed and night, from two people and from three nights upwards, and every apartment comes with its own fully equipped kitchen and its own bathroom. The week sits between a few nights and a full month, which is the length most fit out, assembly and service jobs in the Rhein-Main area actually run, and one company invoice covers the whole team. MONTEUR BASE has housed contractor teams across the region since July 2024, with more than 200 companies, over 120 regular clients and more than 55.000 overnight stays booked, 84 percent of them direct. As of 9 November 2026, here is what a crew or an office manager needs to know.

What is a weekly furnished apartment for a contractor team in Frankfurt?
It is a complete private flat your team rents by the week, not a cluster of hotel rooms. You get a furnished apartment with real beds for the crew, a full kitchen and a private bathroom, and you book the apartment and the beds in it rather than a per person room rate. For an assignment that runs one, two or several weeks, that keeps the team under one roof, lets them cook and do laundry, and produces a single invoice for the company. The layout and the full equipment list are on the apartments page.
What does a weekly furnished apartment in Frankfurt cost?
Pricing starts at 18 euro per bed and night, and a week is simply that rate across seven nights per bed. The exact figure depends on the number of people, the length of the stay and what is free at the time, and a longer booking usually carries a lower nightly rate than a run of single nights. You book beds in a whole apartment, so a four person crew shares one flat and one bill instead of four hotel rooms. The cost of a posting is moving for other reasons too: the German statutory minimum wage rose to 13.90 euro per hour on 1 January 2026 and is set at 14.60 euro from 1 January 2027, so a predictable housing cost is worth locking in early.
Weekly apartment, hotel or residential lease: which fits a fitter crew?
For a stay of one to several weeks the furnished apartment usually wins on both cost and comfort. A hotel charges per room and rarely has a kitchen, so meals are eaten out and the team is split across floors. A standard residential lease is built for twelve months and a deposit, which does not fit a job that ends. The weekly apartment sits in the middle, short enough to match the project and long enough to earn a lower nightly rate. The table sets the three side by side.
Compare | Weekly furnished apartment | Hotel | Residential lease |
Typical length | By the week, from three nights | Per night | 12 months plus notice |
Cost basis | Beds in one apartment, from 18 euro per bed | Per room, often 60 to 100 euro | Monthly rent, deposit, bills |
Kitchen and bath | Private kitchen and private bathroom | Usually no kitchen | Yes, but empty and unfurnished |
Billing | One company invoice for the team | Invoice to the company | Private contract, no company invoice |
Fit for a short job | Built for it | Workable but pricey over weeks | Ends too late to be practical |
How big and how well equipped must accommodation for a posted team be?
German rules set a clear floor. Where a collective agreement requires the employer to provide housing, the official standard calls for at least one bedroom and sanitary facilities, drinking water, electricity and working heating during the heating season from 1 October to 30 April, and at least 8 square metres of floor area for each occupant. The accommodation must be free of mould and pests and structurally safe. These points come from the German customs authority and the technical rule ASR A4.4. Every MONTEUR BASE apartment is a real furnished flat with its own kitchen and bathroom, well inside that standard.
Why does a short commute matter for a weekly crew?
Because a rested crew that arrives on time is what a tight schedule runs on. Apartments are picked by the location of the site, with the aim of a short daily drive to the commercial and industrial zones, so the team is not losing an hour each way before the first task. On a job measured in weeks, those saved minutes add up fast.
Choose the accommodation by the location of the site, not the other way round. On a week long job the daily commute is paid for in the one resource you cannot buy back, which is time on the tools.
Which teams does a weekly apartment in Frankfurt suit?
It suits any crew in Frankfurt for a block of weeks rather than a single night. A solo fitter on a two week commissioning job gets a quiet flat with a kitchen. A four person crew on a fit out shares one apartment and one bill. A ten person column on a plant shutdown is spread across neighbouring apartments so it stays together. Exhibition builders working a stand at Messe Frankfurt take a week around the show and cook after long build days. For a stay shorter than a week, the short term apartment guide covers the per night case, and for several months the monthly guide does.
How do crews get from a Frankfurt apartment to the site?
Most crews drive, and the region is built for it, with the A3, A5 and A66 meeting around Frankfurt and parking available near the apartments. Public transport is a real alternative too: the Rhein-Main network, the RMV, links Frankfurt with Offenbach, Hanau, Mainz and the smaller towns by S-Bahn and regional train, which helps when a van is tied up on site. We place teams with a short daily commute in mind, so the choice of apartment in Frankfurt follows the address of the job.
Can an employer provide and expense the accommodation?
Yes. Companies routinely book and pay for worker housing and treat it as a business cost, which is why every booking comes with a proper company invoice. For a temporary assignment the housing is generally handled as part of travel costs, while a genuine second household in Germany is capped at 1.000 euro per month under Paragraph 9 of the Einkommensteuergesetz. The exact treatment depends on the case, so take this as general information and not tax advice, and check the detail with your tax adviser.
How far in advance should you book weekly apartments in Frankfurt?
Book as soon as the project dates are set, and earlier through the winter heating season and around the big Frankfurt trade fairs, when demand for well placed apartments climbs. Winter retrofit, heating and sanitary work peaks from autumn into spring, and trade fair weeks pull in exhibition crews from across Europe, so the better located flats near the commercial zones fill first. An early request makes it easier to hold one apartment for the whole stay and to extend it if the schedule slips. Send the site address and the dates through the contact page and a reply comes within 30 minutes between 9 and 21.

About MONTEUR BASE
MONTEUR BASE has provided furnished accommodation for contractor and fitter teams across Frankfurt and the Rhein-Main region since July 2024. More than 200 companies and over 120 regular clients have booked more than 55.000 overnight stays, 84 percent of them direct. Every apartment is a real furnished flat with its own kitchen and bathroom, from 18 euro per bed and night, from two people and from three nights upwards, with up to 150 beds across the portfolio depending on availability.
Can we book a furnished apartment in Frankfurt by the week?
Yes. Weekly stays are a normal case, booked from three nights upwards and from two people. You rent a whole apartment and the beds in it, the same flat is held for the length of the stay, and the nightly rate usually drops for a longer booking. If the dates shift, an existing booking is simpler to extend than a new one is to find, so it pays to book as soon as the project is confirmed.
What does a weekly apartment for a team cost?
From 18 euro per bed and night, with a week being that rate across seven nights per bed. The exact price depends on the number of people, the length of the stay and what is free at the time, and longer bookings usually carry a lower nightly rate. A four person crew shares one apartment and one company invoice rather than four separate hotel rooms, which keeps the cost easy to plan and to account for.
Weekly apartment or hotel for a crew: which is cheaper?
For anything beyond a couple of nights the apartment usually wins. Besides the lower nightly rate, the team self caters in a private kitchen, does its own laundry and stays together in one flat instead of separate hotel rooms. Over a week long job those savings add up, and a better rested crew tends to show it on site. The side by side comparison is in the table above.
What standard must accommodation for a posted team meet?
Where a collective agreement requires employer housing, the official standard calls for at least one bedroom and sanitary facilities, drinking water, electricity and working heating during the heating season from 1 October to 30 April, plus at least 8 square metres of floor area for each occupant, free of mould and pests. The source is the German customs authority and the technical rule ASR A4.4. Every MONTEUR BASE apartment sits well inside that floor.
How many people fit in one apartment?
From two people per apartment, with larger teams placed in neighbouring apartments so the crew stays together. Across the portfolio there are up to 150 beds depending on availability, enough to hold a full column on a bigger job and to flex as people rotate on and off. Everyone gets a real bed, a shared equipped kitchen and a private bathroom.
How fast do you reply to a request?
A reply comes within 30 minutes between 9 and 21. Send the site address and the dates, and you get back the next free apartment and the drive time to the job. Booking is from two people and from three nights upwards, and every stay comes with one company invoice for the whole team.
Does every apartment have its own kitchen and bathroom?
Yes. Every apartment has its own fully equipped kitchen and its own bathroom, which is the main reason a week in an apartment works better than a week in a hotel. The team can cook proper meals, store food for a full crew and keep normal routines across the stay. You can see the layout and the equipment on the apartments page.
