Conditions

1.1 These terms and conditions apply to contracts for the rental of hotel rooms for accommodation as well as all other services and deliveries provided by the hotel for the customer in this context (hotel accommodation contract). The term “hotel accommodation contract” includes and replaces the following terms: accommodation, guest accommodation, hotel, hotel room contract.

This does not apply to claims for damages and other claims if the latter are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hotel.

3.1 The hotel is obliged to keep the rooms booked by the customer available and to provide the agreed services.

3.2 The customer is obliged to pay the hotel’s agreed or applicable prices for rooms provided and for other services used. This also applies to services commissioned by the customer directly or via the hotel, which are provided by third parties and disbursed by the hotel.

3.3 The agreed prices include the taxes and local duties applicable at the time the contract is concluded. Not included are local taxes that are owed by the guest according to local law, such as visitor’s tax. In the event of a change in the statutory sales tax or the introduction, change or abolition of local taxes on the object of performance after the conclusion of the contract, the prices will be adjusted accordingly. In the case of contracts with consumers, this only applies if the period between the conclusion and fulfillment of the contract exceeds four months.

3.4 The hotel can make its consent to a subsequent reduction in the number of reserved rooms, the hotel’s services or the customer’s length of stay, as requested by the customer, dependent on the price of the rooms and / or other hotel services increasing.

The amount of the advance payment and the payment dates can be agreed in writing in the contract. In the case of advance payments or security deposits for package tours, the statutory provisions remain unaffected.

3.7 In justified cases, for example the customer’s payment arrears or an extension of the scope of the contract, the hotel is entitled to make an advance payment or security deposit within the meaning of section 3.6 above or an increase in the advance payment or security deposit agreed in the contract up to the full, even after the conclusion of the contract up to the beginning of the stay to demand the agreed remuneration.

3.8 The hotel is also entitled to demand a reasonable advance payment or security deposit from the customer at the beginning of and during the customer’s stay in the sense of section 3.6 above for existing and future claims from the contract, unless such a payment has already been made according to section 3.6 and / or section 3.7 above was done.

3.9 The customer can only offset or set off an undisputed or legally binding claim against a claim by the hotel.

4.1 The customer can only withdraw from the contract concluded with the hotel if a right of withdrawal has been expressly agreed in the contract, another statutory right of withdrawal exists or if the hotel expressly agrees to the cancellation of the contract. The agreement of a right of withdrawal as well as any consent to a contract cancellation should be made in text form.

4.2 If an appointment has been agreed between the hotel and the customer to withdraw from the contract free of charge, the customer can withdraw from the contract until then without triggering payment or damage claims by the hotel. The customer’s right of withdrawal expires if he does not exercise his right to withdraw from the hotel by the agreed date.

4.3 If a right of withdrawal has not been agreed or has already expired, there is also no statutory right of withdrawal or termination and the hotel does not agree to a cancellation of the contract, the hotel retains the right to the agreed remuneration despite not using the service. The hotel has to credit the income from renting the rooms to other parties as well as the saved expenses. If the rooms are not rented to someone else, the hotel can apply a flat-rate deduction for saved expenses. In this case, the customer is obliged to pay 100% of the contractually agreed price for overnight accommodation with or without breakfast as well as for package arrangements with third-party services, 70% for half-board and 60% for full-board arrangements. The customer is free to prove that the aforementioned claim did not arise or did not arise in the required amount. In the case of a booked rate that includes an advance payment of 100% of the total stay and a right of withdrawal up to a contractually agreed date, the hotel reserves the right to withhold the deposit in full if the cancellation is not made in time. The same applies to non-use of the hotel’s services (no-show).

4.4 The non-use of the hotel’s services (no-show) occurs if the rented hotel room is not occupied by 06:00 am on the day following the contractually agreed arrival date at the latest.

He is free to prove that the hotel has no or a significantly lower claim to usage fee.

7.1 The hotel is liable for damage to life, limb or health for which it is responsible. Furthermore, it is liable for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hotel or an intentional or negligent breach of typical contractual obligations by the hotel. A breach of duty by the hotel is equivalent to that of a legal representative or vicarious agent. Further claims for damages are excluded, unless otherwise regulated in this section 7. Should disruptions or deficiencies in the hotel’s services occur, the hotel will endeavor to remedy the situation as soon as it becomes aware of this or upon immediate complaint by the customer. The customer is obliged to do what is reasonable for him to remedy the disruption and to keep possible damage to a minimum.

7.2 The hotel is liable to the customer for items brought in according to the statutory provisions. The hotel recommends using the hotel or room safe. If the guest wishes to bring in money, securities and valuables with a value of more than 800€ or other items with a value of more than 3.500€, this requires a separate storage agreement with the hotel.

7.3 If the customer is provided with a parking space in the hotel garage or in the hotel car park, even for a fee, this does not result in a custody contract.

The hotel reserves the right to prove higher damages. If the fire alarm system is triggered or the facility is damaged by unauthorised smoking, fire, open flames or other negligent acts, the guest shall bear all costs incurred as a result.
