Accommodation

The Hotel is only entitled to accommodate a duly checked-in Guest. Upon arrival in the Hotel, the Guest shall present to the designated Hotel worker – receptionist their personal identity card or passport (or another valid identity document).

The Hotel reserves the right not to accommodate individuals who refuse to present an identity document and those who show symptoms of having consumed an excessive amount of alcohol, addictive substances or symptoms of an infectious disease, especially high temperature or cough, which shall be without prejudice to the other obligations of the Guest towards the Hotel. For the reason of the coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19, the Hotel reserves the right not to accommodate a Guest who refuses to follow measures taken by the Hotel in order to limit the spread of the virus. In such event, the respective Guest has no right to any claim for damages to be paid by the Hotel as a result of not being accommodated in the Hotel.

After the receptionist checks the Guest’s identity and checks the Guest in, the Guest shall receive a hotel card and an accommodation card including the name of the Hotel, room number and time by which the room must be vacated on the last day of the stay, or also the name of the Guest and the length of the stay. From this moment on, only this Guest (these Guests) will have access to the Guest’s room. The access of the Hotel staff to the Guest’s room is limited to the necessary scope consisting in the proper fulfilment of the accommodation terms arranged by the Contract (cleaning, necessary maintenance, handling an emergency, etc.). In order to ensure the maximum privacy of the Guest, it is possible to arrange further restrictions to the entry of the Hotel staff in the Guest’s room or hang the DO NOT DISTURB card on the room door handle.

The Guest is not entitled to allow third parties to use the room. All equipment and furnishings of the room are solely intended to be used by the Guest. The Guest is not entitled to allow strangers to enter the Hotel.

On the day of arrival, the Guest cannot check in before 3 p.m. On the last day of the stay, the Guest is required to vacate the room and return the hotel card by 10 a.m. If, on the last day of the stay, the Guest fails to vacate the room and return the accommodation card by the above deadline, the Hotel shall be entitled to charge the stay to the Guest as follows: vacation of the room between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. – fee amounting to 50% of the price for one night, after 2 p.m. – another day of accommodation shall be charged according to the applicable price list. In such event the Hotel shall also become entitled to require compensation from the Guest for damage that the Hotel incurred in relation to the Guest’s late departure of the room, especially the costs of accommodating a guest who was supposed to occupy the room that the Guest failed to vacate by the set deadline, and the Hotel shall be entitled to remove the Guest’s possessions from the room and store them in a safe place in order to prepare the room for the guest who has booked the room. In order to prevent such procedure, the Guest may agree with the Hotel in advance on a later deadline for vacating the room if the Hotel is not fully occupied; such an agreement shall take effect once it is confirmed by the Hotel in writing (e.g. indicating that fact in the Guest’s accommodation card, issuance of a new card, sending an e-mail to the Guest).

If the Guest fails to arrive for check-in by 8 p.m. on the first day of the stay and does not agree with the Hotel (by phone, e-mail) to keep the booking for them, the Hotel shall not be entitled to reserve the booking of the room for the Guest and the accommodation shall be considered cancelled according to the GBTC.

If the Guest asks for prolongation of the stay beyond the period of time agreed in the Contract, the Hotel may offer to the Guest, for capacity reasons, a different room than the one the Guest was originally staying in.

The Guest shall pay the price set in accordance with the applicable price list of the Hotel for the accommodation and related services.
