V. Guest’s withdrawal (cancellation/non-use of hotel services)

1.    A free withdrawal of the guest from the contract concluded with the hotel requires the written consent of the hotel. If this is not done, the agreed price from the contract must be paid even if the guest does not use contractual services. This shall not apply in the event of a breach of the hotel’s obligation to respect the rights, legal interests and interests of the guest, if this means that the guest is no longer entitled to adhere to the contract or if he is entitled to a different right of law or contractual rescission.

2.    If a period of free withdrawal from the contract has been agreed in writing between the hotel and the guest, the guest can withdraw from the contract until then without triggering payment or compensation claims of the hotel.

3.    In the case of rooms and event rooms not used by the guest without a timely declaration of free withdrawal, the hotel shall offset the income from other rentals as well as the expenses saved.

4th.    Instead of a specifically calculated compensation, the hotel is free to demand the contractually agreed remuneration in the cases referred to in point 3 above and to flat-rate the deduction for saved expenses. In this case, the guest is obliged to pay at least 90% of the contractually agreed price for accommodation with or without breakfast as well as for package arrangements with external services, 80% for half-board and 70% for full-board arrangements. If the hotel calculates the compensation in concrete terms, the amount of the contractually agreed price for the service to be provided by the hotel is deducted from the income from other rentals as well as the expenses saved

5.    If the guest withdraws after the contract has been signed or after the expiry of the contractually agreed free withdrawal date, the hotel is entitled to charge 35% of the lost consumption turnover in addition to the agreed room rent and the costs for the services of third parties. If the guest withdraws after the contractually agreed free cancellation date and 21 days or shortly before the event date, the hotel is entitled to charge 80% of the lost consumption turnover

6.    The guest is free to prove that the above-mentioned claim did not arise or did not arise at the required amount.


Vi. Resignation of the hotel

1.    If a free right of withdrawal of the guest has been agreed in writing within a certain period of time, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract during this period if there are requests from other guests for the rooms or event rooms booked and the guest does not waive his right to withdraw within a period specified by the hotel upon request from the hotel. This applies accordingly when granting an option if there are other requests and the guest is not willing to make a fixed booking within a time limit set by the hotel upon request of the hotel. Fixed booking means that a contract is concluded from that date and the originally agreed free right of withdrawal is overridden.

2.    If an agreed advance payment or required in accordance with Part 1 Clause IV number 7 is not made even after a reasonable grace period set by the hotel has elapsed, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract.

3.    Furthermore, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract for objectively justified reasons, for example if:

· force majeure (including pandemics) or other circumstances beyond the hotel’s control make the performance of the contract impossible;

· hotel services are booked under misleading or false indication of essential facts, e.B. the person of the guest or the purpose of the stay;

· the hotel has reasonable grounds to believe that the use of the hotel service may jeopardise the smooth operation, security or reputation of the hotel in public, without this being attributable to the area of control or organisation of the hotel;

· there has been an infringement of Part 1 Clause I, point 2 or Part 1, Clause IV, (3).


4th.    If, after signing the contract, circumstances become known which, in the opinion of the hotel, make the guest’s creditworthiness appear doubtful (in particular if the guest does not compensate for the hotel’s due claims and therefore payment claims of the hotel appear to be endangered), the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract or to provide the agreed services only against advance payment or security. The right of withdrawal exists in particular if:

· the guest has filed an application for the opening of insolvency proceedings, initiated out-of-court debt settlement proceedings or stopped his payments;

· insolvency proceedings or the opening of the insolvency proceedings is refused for lack of mass or for other reasons.


5.    In the event of justified withdrawal of the hotel, the guest shall not be entitled to compensation.

6.    Unauthorized job interviews, sales and similar events may prevent or require cancellations.

7.    Should a claim for damages from the hotel arise against the guest in the event of a withdrawal in accordance with numbers 2, 3 and 4 above, the hotel may flat-rate the claim. Part 1 Clause V, point 4 to 6, shall apply accordingly in this case. In these cases, it remains possible for the guest to prove that no or only a minor damage has been caused.

Vii. Liability of the hotel, limitation period

1.    The hotel is liable with the care of a regular merchant for its obligations under the hotel admission contract. Claims for damages by the guest are excluded.

In the event of a slightly negligent breach of a cardinal obligation, the hotel’s liability is limited to foreseeable damages typical of the contract at the time of conclusion of the contract. A breach of duty on the part of the hotel is equivalent to that of one of its legal representatives or vicarious agents.

2.    The hotel is liable to the guest in accordance with the statutory provisions for items brought in. Money, securities and valuables can be stored in the hotel safe up to a maximum value corresponding to the hotel’s insurance sum. The hotel recommends that you make use of this option. The liability claims expire if the guest does not immediately notify the hotel after gaining knowledge of loss, destruction or damage. Liability shall only be established if the rooms or containers in which the items were left have been locked. The preceding number 1 sentences 2 to 5 apply accordingly.

3.    Insofar as a parking space is made available to the guest in a hotel car park, also for a fee, no custody contract is concluded. In the event of loss or damage to the hotel property of parked or ranked motor vehicles and their contents, the hotel is not liable. There is no obligation to monitor the hotel. Any damage must be reported to the hotel immediately. The preceding number 1 sentences 2 to 5 apply accordingly.

4th.    All claims against the hotel for which liability is limited under these General Terms and Conditions, as well as claims for a reduction in the amount of property and title defects, shall become time-barred within one year after the claim has arisen and the creditor becomes aware of the circumstances and the person of the debtor or should obtain without gross negligence. Claims for damages against the hotel, for which liability is limited in accordance with this provision, as well as claims for a reduction in rent in the event of material and legal defects shall be time-barred without knowledge within five years of their creation, except for consumers, here the statutory provisions for the limitation period apply.

X. Final Provisions

1.    Oral ancillary agreements are only binding upon written confirmation. Amendments or additions to the contract or this clause, acceptance of the application or these General Terms and Conditions must be made in writing. Unilateral changes or additions by the guest are ineffective.

2.    The place of performance and payment is the seat of the hotel for all mutual obligations.

3.    The exclusive place of jurisdiction is the competent court in goods in so far as the contractual partner is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.

4th. Unless the contractual partner has a general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the place of jurisdiction is the registered office of the hotel.

4th.    German law shall apply. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the Convention on Contracts for the Purposes of the Un Convention on Contracts for the Purposes of the Un Convention on Contracts for
