Our hotels are completely non-smoking. Smoking is prohibited in all indoor areas, including guest rooms, bathrooms, hallways, lobby, restaurants and wellness areas.
This prohibition explicitly applies to e-cigarettes, vapes, hookahs and similar products.
For violations, we reserve the right to charge a cleaning fee of €250.00. In case of repeated or severe violations, we may terminate your stay without notice.
Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas. Please use the provided ashtrays.
4. Quiet Hours
Out of consideration for other guests, quiet hours are observed from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. During this time, please avoid loud music, hallway conversations and other noises that could disturb others.
