These terms and conditions apply to all contracts for the rental of hostel rooms for accommodation that are concluded between Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG and third parties (guests) as well as for all other services and deliveries provided by the Ruhrtropolis Hostel (guest accommodation contract).
By making a reservation, the guest offers to conclude a guest accommodation contract. If the booked room is available, the guest will receive a reservation confirmation from Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG. By accepting the reservation made by the guest, a guest accommodation contract is concluded between Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG and the guest.
Offers from Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG with regard to available rooms are subject to change and non-binding. Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG can refuse to conclude a guest accommodation contract at its own discretion.
There is no entitlement to use the overnight service in a specific room. Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG reserves the right to define customary restrictions such as minimum stays, booking guarantees or down payments for certain dates.
A guaranteed reservation exists when the guest confirms payment for the accommodation service by providing a credit card number. A guaranteed reservation can be canceled free of charge up to 2 days before the day of arrival by providing the reservation number. If you cancel within 48 hours before check-in time, a 50% cancellation fee will be charged. Cancellation after 2 p.m. on the day of arrival is excluded and Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG retains the right to the agreed remuneration minus any saved expenses. The same applies if the guest does not appear (no show). In the case of reservations guaranteed for several days, all subsequent nights from and including the second night will be canceled in the event of no-show and the guest is not entitled to the subsequent nights.
Simple reservations, i.e. reservations for payment by the guest is not yet guaranteed, are valid until 8 p.m. on the day of arrival. After 8 p.m. the reservation expires automatically and free of charge. The Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG is entitled to rent the reserved room to someone else.
The prices stated by Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG at the time the contract is concluded apply. The applicable prices are gross total prices and include all statutory taxes, fees and charges. Not included are local taxes that are owed by the guest according to the respective municipal law, such as visitor's tax.
Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG reserves the right to adjust the prices accordingly in the event of a change in tax, fee and duty rates and the effective collection of new taxes, fees and charges not previously known to the parties. In the case of contracts with consumers, this only applies if the period between the conclusion of the contract (booking confirmation) and the adjustment of the contract exceeds four months.
The price of the entire booked accommodation service must always be paid in advance by the guest, at the latest upon arrival at the hostel.
A set-off of the guest is excluded, unless the set-off concerns an undisputed or legally established claim.
Valid means of payment are cash in euros, EC card, Master Card, Visa Card, American Express and Apple Pay.
Reserved rooms are available to the guest from 5 p.m. on the day of arrival and until 12 noon on the day of departure. On request and subject to availability, a later departure (late check-out) can be arranged with the hostel in advance. If the hostel agrees to a late check-out, the hostel is entitled to invoice the costs for the additional use of the room. For departures after 3 p.m., the full daily price of the room will be charged. There is no contractual right to late check-out.
The resale / rental and / or the brokerage of booked rooms is prohibited. In particular, the brokerage of rooms and / or room allotments to third parties at prices higher than the actual room prices is not permitted. The assignment or sale of the claim against Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG is also not permitted. In these cases, Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG is entitled to cancel the booking, in particular if the guest provided the third party with false information about the type of booking or payment during the assignment / sale. Use of the hostel room for anything other than accommodation is expressly prohibited.
The hostel is liable for its obligations under the contract with the diligence of a prudent businessman. Customer claims for compensation are excluded. Excluded from this are damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health if the hostel is responsible for the breach of duty, other damage that is based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hostel and damage that is based on an intentional or negligent breach of typical contractual obligations of the hostel. A breach of duty by the hostel is equivalent to that of a legal representative or vicarious agent. Should disruptions or deficiencies in the services of the service provider occur, the hostel will endeavor to remedy the situation if it becomes aware of it or if the customer complains immediately. A retention or reduction in payment cannot be derived from this. The customer is obliged to do what is reasonable for him to remedy the disruption and to keep possible damage to a minimum. 2. The customer is aware that a special feature of the accommodation service in the hostel is that beds in multi-bed rooms are rented out individually. Customers who book beds in shared rooms accept that strangers may share such rooms. If a customer has not booked all beds in a room, he must expect that the beds that have not been booked will be occupied by other guests.
The hostel provides sufficient lockers in every shared room. The hostel expressly recommends making use of this option.
If valuables are locked in the locker, the hostel's liability is based on the statutory provisions, which is 100 times the room price, a maximum of € 3,500, and a maximum of € 800 for valuables and cash. Otherwise the hostel is exempt from liability except for intent and negligence.
The liability claims expire if the customer does not notify the service provider immediately after gaining knowledge of loss, destruction or damage (§ 703 BGB).
The Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG is liable for damages for which it is responsible from injury to life, body or health. Furthermore, the Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG is liable for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Ruhrtropolis Hostel UG as well as for damages based on an intentional or negligent breach of typical contractual obligations.

Further claims for damages are excluded, unless otherwise regulated in these terms and conditions.
