  1. The hotel is required in good faith to rent out unused rooms and room capacities to other parties, if possible, in order to avoid losses. Until the contractually agreed rooms and room capacities are let to another party, the guest must pay the calculated amount for the duration of the contract, taking into account the aforementioned cost regulation. In case of inapplicability of one of the regulations under point 4.) the legal regulation of §537 BGB applies.

Insofar as the hotel is liable for third parties, the hotel is only liable insofar as there is demonstrable fault. The liability of the hotel is expressly limited to the benefits of the hotel liability insurance, any liability beyond this is expressly excluded.

In particular, liability due to force majeure, strike, riot, war, natural events, floods, burst pipes, fire, etc. is excluded. Liability claims expire if the guest does not notify the hotel immediately after becoming aware of loss or damage.

  1. As far as the guest is provided with a parking space for his car (parking lot or garage), this does not constitute a custody agreement. In the event of loss or damage to motor vehicles parked or maneuvering on the hotel property and their contents, the hotel shall not be liable to the extent that the hotel is not responsible for intent or gross negligence. This also applies to vicarious agents.
  2. If the guest has been granted a free right of withdrawal (optional booking request), the hotel is also entitled to withdraw from the contract within the agreed period if there are requests from other guests for the booked room. Furthermore, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract for good cause, in particular if force majeure or other circumstances for which the hotel is not responsible make it impossible to fulfill the contract; rooms are booked under misleading or false statements of material facts, e.g. regarding the person of the guest or the purpose; the hotel has reasonable cause to believe that the use of the hotel services may jeopardize the smooth operation of the business, the security or the reputation of the hotel in the public, without this being attributable to the hotel's sphere of control or organization. The hotel becomes aware of circumstances that the financial circumstances of the guest have deteriorated significantly after the conclusion of the contract, in particular if the guest does not settle due claims of the hotel or does not provide sufficient security and therefore payment claims of the hotel appear to be at risk; the Guest has filed an application for the opening of insolvency proceedings with respect to his assets, has submitted an affidavit pursuant to Section 807 of the German Code of Civil Procedure (Zivilprozessordnung), has initiated out-of-court proceedings for the settlement of debts or has discontinued his payments; insolvency proceedings are opened with respect to the assets of the Guest or the opening of such proceedings is rejected for lack of assets or for other reasons. In the event of the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the Hotel shall immediately notify the Guest in writing. In the aforementioned cases of withdrawal, the guest shall not be entitled to any compensation.
  3. Vouchers whose validity is limited by a date will only be redeemed by the hotel in exceptional cases, at the latest until the regular expiry date. If services on the day of issue of the voucher are charged at a different price than at the time of redemption, the negative difference at the time of redemption must be paid by the guest. A refund for price reductions is not possible.
  4. The guest is obliged during his stay to inform himself and persons in need of supervision about escape routes and rescue possibilities.
  5. If one or more provisions of these General Terms and Conditions are or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the contract and the remaining provisions. In the event of the invalidity of individual provisions, the provision that comes closest economically to the originally intended provision and is legally permissible shall apply.
  6. Supplements, amendments and ancillary agreements of any kind whatsoever require confirmation by both contracting parties at least in text form in order to be legally effective; this also applies to the cancellation of the formal requirement. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) shall apply. The place of performance and jurisdiction shall be, insofar as this can be permissibly agreed, the registered office of the hotel.
