What can you charge for a fitter's room?

Three factors determine the price: location, amenities, and rental period.

Location: In cities and near industrial areas with high demand, higher prices can be achieved than in rural regions. Good connections to the motorway, train station, or workplace justify a surcharge.

Amenities: Simple rooms with a bed, table, and washing facilities are cheaper than fully furnished apartments with their own kitchen, living area, Wi‑Fi, and parking space. A usable kitchen is especially important for fitters, as many cater for themselves.

Rental period: For bookings over several weeks or months, discounts of 10–20% are common ("long-term rates"). For short stays, such as over the weekend, the price per night may be slightly higher.

Amenities	Price per person/night	Typical features
Basic amenities	20–25 €	Bed, table, shared bathroom
Standard amenities	25–30 €	Private bathroom, Wi‑Fi, shared kitchen
High-end amenities	30–40 €	Private kitchen, TV, parking, very good location

Prices apply for [AT/DE: Österreich / Deutschland], as of July 2026, per person at standard occupancy. In regions with very high demand (e.g., metropolitan areas, major construction sites), higher prices are also realistic.

The prices for worker accommodations vary greatly. In Germany and Austria, the cost per night is often between 20 and 40 euros per person. In regions with high demand, they can be higher.

• Basic amenities: 20–25 euros per night
• High-quality amenities: 30–40 euros per night

Group deals are often cheaper per person, as the total price for the accommodation remains higher.

Budget or premium? Finding the right niche

Landlords should consider whether they want to position themselves in the budget segment or in the premium range:

• Budget accommodations: Less investment in amenities, but a larger target group and lower prices.
• Premium offers: Higher comfort and amenities, but higher income per night.

Both models have advantages and disadvantages. The key is which target group is to be addressed.

A large portion of the fitter rooms are not rented to private individuals, but to companies for multiple employees. Example: A fitter apartment with three rooms is rented to three people for a total of 70–90 euros per night. That corresponds to 23–30 euros per person per night – a market-standard price that remains predictable for companies and is attractive for landlords.

Many corporate customers also prefer flat-rate offers in which utility costs and a weekly cleaning are included in the price. This simplifies billing for both sides.

Budget accommodations (20–25 €) reach a larger target group and are preferred by companies with limited budgets – with lower investment required for furnishings.

Premium accommodations (30–40 €) generate higher revenue per night, but also require more investment in comfort and amenities.

Both models work – the choice depends on which target group you want to reach and how much effort you can or want to put into furnishing.

 

How do I find the right price for my fitter’s room?

1. Compare the competition. Take a look at what prices are being charged in your region for similarly equipped fitter’s rooms – for example on Austrian fitter’s rooms or German fitter’s rooms.
2. Start moderately. Begin with a market-standard price and adjust it if demand remains consistently high.
3. Offer tiered pricing. A price per month is mandatory; prices per week and per day are optional, but give interested parties a quicker idea of the costs.
4. Factor in discounts for long-term rentals. A 10–20% discount for rentals lasting several weeks is common in the market and significantly increases the likelihood of bookings from corporate customers.

Frequently asked questions about the price of fitter’s rooms

Are the prices on zimmmer net or gross? Prices on zimmmer are listed net, i.e., excluding VAT. The reason: Most people searching for rooms are companies booking for their employees and calculating with net prices.

Do I have to specify a price per night? No, only a price per month is mandatory. Prices per week and per day are optional, but help interested parties make a quick assessment.

How much cheaper should group prices be? There is no rule of thumb, but a discount of around 10–15% per person is common when a company books multiple rooms or an entire apartment, since the administrative effort per guest decreases.
