(registered office: 9024 Győr, Kálvária u. 24/A., hereinafter: Service Provider), concludes accommodation agreements with its Guests.
1.2. Individual terms and conditions are not part of this GHTC, but they do not exclude the possibility of separate, specific agreements concluded with travel agents, organizers, or other parties under conditions appropriate to the respective business arrangement.
2. Contracting Parties
2.1. The services provided by the Service Provider are used by the Guest. If the Guest places an order for services directly with the Service Provider, the Guest becomes the contracting party.

2.2. If the order for services is placed on behalf of the Guest by a third party (hereinafter: Intermediary), the terms of cooperation are governed by the agreement between the Service Provider and the Intermediary. In this case, the Service Provider is not obliged to verify whether the third party is legally authorized to represent the Guest.
3. Method and Conditions of Service Use

3.2. The contract is concluded exclusively upon the Service Provider’s written confirmation of the Guest’s written reservation and is therefore considered a contract in writing.

3.7. The use of accommodation services requires Guests to verify their identity on the designated registration form and/or by presenting personal identification before occupying the room. No one may stay at the hotel without prior registration.
3.8. Any modification or amendment of the contract requires a written agreement signed by both Parties.

Any additional charges arising from changes in applicable tax law (VAT, tourist tax) may be passed on to the contracting party with prior notice.
