The Advantages and Disadvantages of Guaranteed Rent Schemes for Landlords

Hotel vs Airbnb For Contractors

Hotel Or Airbnb ?

For the time-pressed contractor who doesn’t like faff, hotels are probably the easiest and most convenient of the three, being generally well-organised, quite comfortable and always expecting guests. You don’t have to worry about housekeeping or much else once you’re there. On the other hand, they can be impersonal places to stay in, and you will be spending the time on your own. Personally, that doesn’t bother me, but think carefully whether you would find that stressful or draining.

The other two options – a full-time rental or Airbnb house-share-type-arrangement, mean you can leave your things behind when you go home for the weekend. This can be invaluable if you’re the sort of contractor who, for family or other commitments, needs to drop your stuff and go. Oh, and you probably don’t have to eat out at night unless you want to, and potentially have people to keep you company too. If you want that, of course.

Personally i think it depends very much on how long you are looking to stay, if it is longer then 2 nights i think staying in an Airbnb is beneficial, having all the amenities you need to feel at home during your stay is going to be vital in your accommodation, but if you are looking for a shorter stay it is much easier to stick with a hotel.
