A six-month assignment in Hamburg can involve several different housing periods. Some colleagues arrive with the first team, others join later, and departure dates may change as the assignment develops. A useful accommodation brief shows when each person needs a place to stay, alongside the overall project dates.
For the city overview, see our corporate housing in Hamburg. This checklist helps you prepare the accommodation request for a longer team assignment.
Build one accommodation brief for the team
Start with the company making the booking, the accommodation contact and the expected assignment period. Add the workplace address in Hamburg and the number of people who need housing. If colleagues will work at different locations, include each relevant workplace.
Describe the bedroom requirements separately from the headcount. Tell us whether colleagues can share a home, whether each person needs a private bedroom and whether any team members need separate accommodation. These details make the housing requirement clearer than a total number of guests alone.
Map individual arrival and departure dates
For each traveller, include the expected arrival date, departure date and bedroom requirement. A name or an internal reference can distinguish the entries while you are preparing the request. Mark dates that are still provisional.
Pay particular attention to overlapping stays. If one colleague arrives before another leaves, include both dates so that the request reflects the extra bedroom needed during the overlap. When several people arrive together but leave at different times, keep their departure dates separate.
Describe planned changes across the assignment, including a later group joining or colleagues returning for another stay. Send the dates for each housing period rather than treating a returning colleague's whole assignment as one continuous stay.
Record the housing requirements that affect the placement
Include the workplace location and how the team expects to travel there. If a particular arrival time, parking requirement or access need affects the stay, put it in the initial request. Describe any commute requirements in relation to the actual workplace rather than Hamburg city centre alone.
List the household facilities that matter to the team, such as cooking facilities, laundry or space to work at home. Distinguish essential requirements from preferences. These are details for us to assess when working on the request.
Keep the accommodation handover in one place
Tell us who will coordinate questions about the housing and who takes over if that contact changes. A handover is easier to follow when the new contact has the current accommodation dates and the outstanding questions about the stay.
When updating the request, identify what has changed: an arrival, a departure, a bedroom requirement or an additional traveller. Include the revised dates and say whether the rest of the housing requirement stays the same. This keeps the latest request clear when several colleagues are involved.
Send a complete accommodation enquiry
Send the expected assignment period, each person's housing dates, bedroom needs and workplace addresses together. Include the company making the booking and the person coordinating the accommodation, with provisional details marked clearly.
