Here’s an older thread discussing a similar idea with shipping containers.
There are a lot of cool things that you can do with shipping containers, and Google has lots of pictures of them in case anyone would like some inspiration.
Have you seen other examples of businesses using them for accommodation? I’m curious about what the biggest challenges would be in setting up and operating something like this.

This is todays news in Berliner Zeitung ("berlin newspaper")
http://www.berliner-zeitung.de/berlin/fluechtlingsunterkuenfte-die-naech...
saying that the berlin senat will build housings for about 19.000 Refugees within the next few month with prebuild containers. The containers will be build and delivered by a chinese company.
Sorry if this might sound disencouraging to you, but current public discussion here in germany is totally focused on refugee questionaire since chancellor merkel made her "wir schaffen das" ("we will do it") speak last summer, inviting every refugee in the world to come to germany.
Just to let you know
