  4. The agreed prices include the legally applicable VAT. If 4 months have passed between the date of the conclusion of the contract and the arrival date and the applicable hotel prices (list prices) have increased, the hotel can increase the agreed price reasonably, but no more than 5%.

Typical contractual obligations being such, the fulfillment of which is a prerequisite for proper performance of the contract and on whose fulfilment the guest relies and may rely.

IV. Withdrawal right of the guest

  1. Unless otherwise agreed, the guest may only withdraw from the hotel accommodation contract concluded with the hotel upon consent by the hotel. If the hotel does not consent with the withdrawal of the guest from the contract, the guest is obliged to pay the agreed price or the applicable list price for the hotel according to the hotel accommodation contract, regardless of whether the guest avails himself of the contractual services. This shall not apply, if it is unreasonable to expect the guest to adhere to the contract under due consideration of the interest of both sides or if the guest is entitled to any other legal or contractual withdrawal right.

  2. If rooms are not used by the guest, the hotel has to deduct the income from renting the room to other parties as well as the saved expenses from the compensation to be paid by the guest.

  3. In this respect the hotel is allowed to demand the contractually agreed price or the applicable price of the hotel (list price) and to deduct the amount for saved expenses by way of lump-sum. In this case, the guest is obliged to pay 90% of the contractually agreed price for the overnight stay with or without breakfast, 70% for half-board and 60% for full-board bookings, provided nothing else has been agreed. The guest is at liberty to prove that the amount of the aforementioned claim has not accrued at all or has not amounted to the demanded sum.

V. Withdrawal right of the hotel

  1. Insofar as it was agreed that the guest can withdraw from the contract at no cost within a certain period of time, the hotel is permitted for its part to withdraw from the contract during this period of time if it receives requests from other guests for the contractually booked rooms and the guest does not waive his/her withdrawal right after enquiry by the hotel with a reasonable deadline set.

  2. If a guest does make an advance payment or a deposit, as agreed or requested as per clause III, point 7, even after a reasonable grace period set by the hotel has expired, then the hotel is permitted to withdraw from the contract or to demand compensation for damages due to non-fulfilment.

  3. Moreover, the hotel is permitted to withdraw from the hotel accommodation contract or to terminate the hotel accommodation contract, as the case may be, on important grounds. This applies in particular, if

  • force majeure or other conditions beyond the hotel’s control make it impossible to fulfil the contract;

  • the room was booked with misleading or false information regarding essential facts, e.g. regarding the identity of the guest;

  • the hotel has justified cause to assume that the use of the hotel services could endanger the smooth running of business operations, the safety or reputation of the hotel to the public, without the cause being attributable to the hotel’s sphere of control or organization.

  2. If the guest is provided with a parking space in the underground car park or in the hotel parking area, this does not establish a safekeeping contract, even if a fee is charged. The parking conditions of the underground car park shall apply. In case of loss or damage to vehicles parked or manoeuvring on the property of the hotel, and to their contents, the hotel assumes no liability, apart from willful to intent and gross negligence, point 1, sentences 2 through 4 shall apply accordingly..

The guest is at liberty to provide evidence that no damage or less damage was incurred. In any case, the guest is obliged to compensate the hotel for any proven cleaning fees which were actually incurred. Should a false fire alarm be triggered by smoking contrary to the terms of the contract by the guest or a person attributable to him, e.g. a visitor, the guest shall bear the costs actually incurred as a result, in particular for a fire department intervention.

  2. The guest shall also bear the costs for fire department interventions triggered by excessive water vapor, cooking or smoke clouds due to improper handling of the kitchenette, cooking equipment or coffee machine.

  3. Animals are only allowed to be brought into the hotel with the prior approval of the hotel in text form at an extra charge. Animals are not allowed to be brought into social rooms such as the restaurant, bar, fitness area etc.

  4. Found objects or items which are left behind or forgotten are only sent to the guest on request and if the incurred costs are compensated. The hotel will store the items for a duration of 6 months with regard to the hotel’s liability. Clause VI point 1 sentences 2 through 4 shall apply accordingly.

VIII. Final provisions
