Help at Check-In

We know that a trip with lots of people can be stressful. That is why we have prepared the following important steps and advice for a faster check-in:

(1)   The group can check in at any time.

(2)   Rooms are guaranteed to be ready after 3 pm, but feel free to ask our staff if your rooms have been prepared even earlier.

(3)   Room key cards are are available immediately upon check-in and function after 3 pm automatically.

(4)   We will make every effort to prepare your room list a few days before your arrival. Therefore, it would be helpful if you would also provide us with the gender of each student and any preferences in advance at [email protected].


This saves you time filling out forms on site. That way, you can just be issued your room key cards giving your group immediate access to the room.

Help at Check-Out

So that on the day of departure everything goes quickly and smoothly, we have briefly summarized the most important steps for you:

(1)    Check-out is at 10:00 AM, on weekends at 11:00 AM.

(2)    Students should remove their own bed linens and place them in the Laundry Box (usually near the reception – please ask).

(3)    Teachers and chaperones in single or double rooms can leave their bed linens on the bed.

(4)    Students should empty their trash in the designated containers, separating their recycleables (paper and plastic, separately) and non-recycleable trash. Recepticals are usually located on the same floor.

(5)    Collect the room key cards of each room, and return them to the reception upon checkout.

(6)    If your bus or train departs later in the day, the group can leave their luggage with us in the complementary Luggage room until time to depart.
