What to Consider When Procuring Accommodation for Data Center Projects
When procuring accommodation for a data center project, the most important factors are: reliability (the provider must deliver what was agreed, every time), flexibility (lease terms must adapt to project timelines that often change), volume capacity (the provider must be able to house 5, 20, or 50+ people at short notice), consolidated invoicing (one invoice per month, not hundreds of individual hotel receipts), and on-site support (someone available 24/7 for emergencies, not a call center abroad). Global hotel chains and booking platforms like Booking.com fail on most of these criteria — they are designed for individual travellers, not project teams.
Why Local Providers Outperform Global Chains
Global hotel chains and platforms like Booking.com have high overhead costs: large sales teams, marketing budgets, franchise fees, and international management layers. These costs are passed on to customers.
A local provider like Katrineholm Longstay has minimal overhead — we do not have a sales team calling you, we do not advertise on TV, and we do not pay franchise fees. We focus our resources on what matters: well-maintained apartments, staff on-site, and responsive service.
This is why we can offer prices approximately 30% lower than comparable global providers, without compromising on quality.
What Katrineholm Longstay Offers
Katrineholm Longstay provides fully furnished apartments for data center project teams. We have full control over all our properties — we do not sublet from third parties.
This means we can guarantee availability, quality, and pricing. Our offering includes: on-site staff with local knowledge, emergency contacts available 24/7, everything included (internet, utilities, laundry, cleaning), flexible lease terms from weeks to months, consolidated monthly invoicing for easy expense management, framework agreements and volume pricing for procurement departments, and the ability to handle large volumes — we can accommodate teams of 5 to 50+ at short notice.
We serve projects in Katrineholm, Strängnäs, Eskilstuna, Västerås, and the broader Mälardalen region.
30% Lower Cost Than Global Providers — How?
Our cost advantage comes from three sources. First, we own and operate our properties directly — no middlemen, no franchise fees, no platform commissions.
Second, we have local supplier agreements for maintenance, cleaning, and utilities that are negotiated at Swedish local market rates, not international corporate rates. Third, we operate with a lean team focused on on-site service rather than sales, marketing, and administration.
We pass these savings directly to our clients. A typical 3-month stay for a team of 10 people costs approximately 30% less with Katrineholm Longstay than with a comparable global provider — without any reduction in quality or service level.
