Top 7 Amenities Contractors Need for Long-Term Stays in Gloucester

By the Staying Gloucester Corporate Hospitality Team

Contractors working on long-term projects expect accommodation that makes life easy. After long shifts and demanding schedules, comfort, practicality, and consistency are non-negotiable. At StayingGloucester.co, we’ve spent years refining our serviced apartments to match exactly what contractors want when working across Gloucester.

Here are the seven amenities every contractor values most—and how we provide them.

1. Fast, Reliable Wi-Fi
Contractors need to stay connected, whether to access digital plans, submit progress reports, or keep in touch with home. Every property we manage features high-speed fibre broadband capable of handling multiple devices without disruption.

2. Fully Equipped Kitchens
Eating out daily is expensive and inconvenient. A proper kitchen—complete with oven, hob, microwave, and fridge—lets contractors cook their own meals, saving money and maintaining a healthier lifestyle.

Our long-stay apartments in Gloucester all feature full kitchens, stocked with the essentials for everyday use.

3. On-Site Laundry Facilities
Long-term stays mean laundry is a must. Every property includes washing machines and dryers, saving guests both time and cost compared with hotel laundry services.

4. Secure Parking and Vehicle Access
Contractors often travel in work vans or with valuable tools and equipment. Our properties provide private or gated parking with 24/7 access, ensuring vehicles remain secure and easily accessible.

5. Comfortable Work and Rest Spaces
Each apartment includes dedicated desks and comfortable seating areas—allowing guests to handle admin tasks, make calls, or simply unwind after long site hours.

We also provide blackout curtains, premium bedding, and quiet locations for optimal rest and recovery.

6. Flexible Check-In and Extension Options
Project timelines can shift overnight. Our flexible check-in/out policies and rolling extensions mean contractors can extend or shorten stays without stress.

We work closely with site managers to adapt quickly when project phases change or staff rotate in and out.

7. Professional Cleaning and Maintenance
Long-term guests deserve consistent cleanliness. We provide weekly housekeeping and regular maintenance checks so that every property remains fresh, functional, and ready to use.

Why Amenities Matter
When contractors feel comfortable, they perform better. Good accommodation improves productivity, reduces stress, and builds loyalty among staff. Companies that prioritise quality housing often see fewer absences and stronger project performance.

At StayingGloucester.co, we design every stay to meet those expectations—reliable, comfortable, and perfectly suited for long-term work.

Final Thoughts
Whether it’s a three-week fit-out or a six-month infrastructure build, providing the right living environment is essential.
