  3. All claims against INA HOTELS are generally time-barred within one year from the start of the statutory limitation period.

Claims by consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB are time-barred according to the statutory provisions.

 

III. SERVICES, PRICES, PAYMENT, SET-OFF

The customer is obliged to do what is reasonable for him to remedy the malfunction and to keep possible damage to a minimum.

  3. Even outside his room, the customer is generally obliged to take care of his belongings and valuables himself. INA HOTELS shall only be liable in accordance with Section VIII.8 above. Sets 1-4.
  4. As a rule, INA HOTELS does not have its own pitches for customers. The parking of vehicles, even temporarily, does not result in a custody agreement.

  5. Wake-up calls, messages, mail and consignments of goods for guests will be handled with care if this is offered.

They do not constitute a guarantee of the quality of the rooms booked by the customer. Although every effort has been made to ensure that photographs, graphics and texts used to illustrate INA HOTELS give the most accurate impression of the accommodation services offered, there may be differences between the booked room and the illustrated room, in particular due to the large number of rooms, changes in equipment or any renovations. The guest is not entitled to any complaint in this regard.
  7. INA HOTELS cannot be held responsible for the non-execution or poor execution of the reservation in the event of force majeure, due to the action of third parties, the guest or their partners, including unavailability of the Internet, prevented access to the website, external interventions, viruses or unauthorized advance payment by the submitter's bank.

  2. INA HOTELS may require the customer to provide adequate security (e.g. insurance, deposits, guarantees).
  3. All INA HOTELS are non-smoking hotels. For this reason, smoking is strictly prohibited inside the hotel, on open/half-open windows, in open/half-open doors, in underground car parks, etc. Should this lead to complaints from other guests, the smoking customer is liable. Likewise, the customer will be charged an extra fee to clean / ventilate the room separately. This depends on the damage and starts at €200. If the room is not rentable due to smoking – even for one night – the polluter can be held liable accordingly.
