Withdrawal by the customer (termination, cancellation or no-show)

2. If the hotel and the customer have agreed a date for free withdrawal from the contract in text form, the customer may withdraw from the contract up to that date without incurring payment or compensation claims by the hotel. The customer’s right of withdrawal expires if he does not exercise his right of withdrawal vis-à-vis the hotel by the agreed date.

1. The customer does not acquire any claim to the provision of specific rooms, unless this has been expressly agreed in text form.

Excluded from this are damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, if the hotel is responsible for the breach of duty, other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hotel and damages based on an intentional or negligent breach of typical contractual obligations of the hotel. Should disruptions or defects in the hotel’s services occur, the hotel shall endeavor to remedy such upon knowledge thereof or upon immediate complaint by the customer.

Accordingly, the liability is limited to one hundred times the room rate, but not more than €3,500, and in deviation for money, securities and valuables up to a maximum of €800.
3. If the customer is provided with a parking space in the garage or in a hotel parking lot, even for a fee, this does not constitute a safekeeping agreement.
