I. Scope
These terms and conditions apply to hotel accommodation contracts as well as all other services and deliveries provided by the hotel for the guest.
Deviating provisions, including those contained in the general terms and conditions of the guest or the customer, shall not apply unless expressly accepted by the hotel in writing.
II. Conclusion of Contract, Contracting Parties
Upon a booking request by the guest, a hotel accommodation contract (hereinafter referred to as "contract") shall be concluded upon corresponding booking confirmation by the hotel.
The contracting parties are the hotel and the guest. If a third party makes the booking on behalf of the Guest, such third party shall be liable to the Hotel as Purchaser together with the Guest as joint and several debtors for all obligations under the Contract, provided that the Hotel has received a corresponding declaration from the Purchaser. Irrespective of this, each ordering party is obliged to pass on to the guest all information relevant to the booking, in particular these General Terms and Conditions.
The subletting and reletting of the rooms provided, as well as their use for purposes other than accommodation, require the prior written consent of the Hotel.
III. Services, Prices, Payment, Offsetting
The hotel is obligated to hold the rooms booked by the guest ready in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions and to provide the agreed services.
The guest is obligated to pay the hotel's prices applicable or agreed upon for the provision of the room and the other services used by the guest. This shall also apply to services and expenses of the hotel vis-à-vis third parties arranged by the guest or the customer. The agreed prices include the respective statutory value added tax. If the period between the conclusion of the contract and the guest's arrival exceeds four months and if the statutory sales tax or any applicable local taxes and duties increase after the conclusion of the contract, the hotel reserves the right to increase the agreed prices by the amount by which the applicable sales tax or local taxes and duties have increased.
Since 2014 the city of Berlin charges a city tax of 5% on the net room rate per night for private and leisure stays. As of April 1, 2024 the city tax will also be introduced for business trips. The city tax is not included in the booked room rate and will be addded to the invoice on departure.
The hotel may make its consent to a reduction requested by the guest after conclusion of the contract in the number of rooms booked, the hotel's services or the guest's length of stay conditional upon an increase in the price for the rooms and/or for the hotel's other services.
Invoices of the hotel are due for payment immediately upon receipt without deduction. The hotel may demand immediate payment of due receivables from the guest at any time. The guest shall be in default at the latest if he/she does not make payment within 10 days after the due date and receipt of an invoice; this shall only apply to a guest who is a consumer if these consequences have been specifically pointed out in the invoice. In the event of late payment, the Hotel shall be entitled to charge consumers interest on arrears at a rate of 5 percentage points above the prime rate. In business transactions, the default interest rate is 8 percentage points above the base interest rate. The hotel reserves the right to claim higher damages. The hotel may charge a reminder fee of EUR 5.00 for each reminder sent after default has occurred.
The hotel is entitled to demand a reasonable advance payment or security deposit from the guest upon conclusion of the contract in the form of a credit card guarantee, a down payment or similar. The amount of the advance payment and the payment dates can be agreed in writing in the contract.
In justified cases, e.g. payment arrears on the part of the guest or expansion of the scope of the contract, the hotel shall be entitled to demand an advance payment or security deposit within the meaning of the above paragraph 5 or an increase in the advance payment or security deposit agreed in the contract up to the full agreed remuneration, even after conclusion of the contract until the beginning of the stay.
The hotel is further entitled to demand from the guest at the beginning and during the stay an appropriate advance payment or security deposit within the meaning of the above paragraph 5 for existing and future claims arising from the contract, insofar as such a payment has not already been made in accordance with the above paragraph 5 and/or paragraph 6.
The Guest may only set off an undisputed or legally established claim against a claim of the Hotel.
The hotel is a NON-SMOKING hotel. Guests who do not comply will be charged 200 EUR for additional cleaning. If cigarette smoke causes a false fire alarm, an extra charge of 2000 EUR will be made, plus all costs related to the operation of the fire department or police.
The guest is liable to the hotel to the full extent for damage to the building and inventory caused by himself, his vicarious agents or his guests, unless he proves that no damage or a lesser damage has occurred. This also applies to costs caused by excessive wear and tear or soiling of the hotel rooms.

a) In the event of the Guest's withdrawal from the reservation, the Hotel shall be entitled to reasonable compensation.
b) The hotel has the option to claim compensation from the guest in the form of a compensation lump sum instead of a concretely calculated compensation. The compensation lump sum amounts to 80% of the contractually agreed price for overnight stays with or without breakfast. The guest is free to prove that the hotel has not suffered any damage or that the damage suffered by the hotel is lower than the claimed compensation lump sum.
c) If the hotel calculates the compensation specifically, the amount of compensation shall not exceed the amount of the contractually agreed price for the service to be provided by the hotel, less the value of the expenses saved by the hotel and what the hotel acquires through other uses of the hotel services.
The above provisions on compensation shall apply accordingly if the guest does not make use of the booked room or the booked services without notifying the hotel in due time.

If an advance payment or security deposit agreed upon or required above pursuant to Item III, Paragraphs 5 and/or 6 is not made even after expiration of a grace period set by the hotel, the hotel shall also be entitled to withdraw from the contract.

The Hotel shall immediately notify the Guest in writing of the exercise of the right of withdrawal. In the aforementioned cases of withdrawal, the guest shall have no claim to compensation.

VII. Liability of the Hotel, Statute of Limitations
In the event of disruptions or deficiencies in the hotel's services, the hotel will endeavor to remedy the situation upon the guest's immediate complaint. If the guest culpably fails to notify the hotel of a defect, the guest shall not be entitled to a reduction of the contractually agreed remuneration.
The hotel is liable in accordance with the statutory provisions for all damages arising from injury to life, limb and health, as well as in the event of the assumption of a guarantee on the part of the hotel and in the event of fraudulently concealed defects.
The Hotel shall only be liable for all other damages not covered by Clause VII, Paragraph 2 and caused by slightly negligent conduct on the part of the Hotel, its legal representatives or its vicarious agents if such damages are attributable to the breach of a material contractual obligation or a cardinal obligation in a manner that jeopardizes the purpose of the contract. In such cases, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.
The above limitations of liability apply to all claims for damages regardless of their legal basis, including claims in tort. The above limitations and exclusions of liability shall also apply in cases of any claims for damages by a guest against employees or vicarious agents of the hotel. They shall not apply in cases of liability for a defect following the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of an item or a work, in the case of fraudulently concealed defects or in the case of personal injury.
The hotel shall be liable to the guest for items brought into the hotel in accordance with the statutory provisions, i.e. up to ten times the accommodation price, but no more than EUR 3,500.00. For valuables (cash, jewelry, etc.), this liability shall be limited to EUR 800.00. The hotel recommends that guests make use of the option to store items in the room safe.
Insofar as a parking space is made available to the guest in the hotel garage or in a hotel parking lot, even for a fee, this does not constitute a safekeeping agreement. The hotel is not obliged to monitor the parking space. In the event of loss of or damage to motor vehicles parked or maneuvered on hotel property and their contents, the hotel shall not be liable unless the hotel, its legal representatives or its vicarious agents are responsible for intent or gross negligence.

Claims for damages, except for gross negligence or intent, are excluded. The hotel is entitled to hand over the aforementioned items to the local lost and found office after a storage period of one month at the latest, charging an appropriate fee.
The guest's claims for damages shall become statute-barred at the latest after two years from the time the guest becomes aware of the damage or, irrespective of such knowledge, at the latest after three years from the time of the damaging event.
This does not apply to liability for damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health, or for other damages resulting from an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hotel, a legal representative or vicarious agent of the hotel.
