Person staying with a guest: a person arriving with a guest and staying in the room with the guest, who uses the accommodation service and/or ancillary service with the guest. 

For the purposes of the GTC, the term "guest" shall be understood to include any person staying with the guest, unless otherwise provided in the GTC.

Cost bearer: the natural or legal person who pays the provider the consideration due to the provider for the use of the service. 

The guest, the person staying with the guest or a third party can be the person who pays. Unless otherwise specified in the GTC, the guest is also understood to be the person bearing the costs.

Consideration (price, fee): the monetary charge payable to the service provider for the use of a service, which is payable by the guest or the person who has paid for the service.

Complementary Service: other services provided by the Service Provider to its Guests for the enjoyment of leisure time, the preservation of health, the improvement of physical well-being, which are not part of the given type of accommodation service, provided that the Service Provider offers or provides such services to the Guests at the time of the Service (e.g. consumption from the minibar of the Room, massage and/or body treatment, shuttle, etc.). 

The range and price of the various types of additional services that may be used by guests in a given period will be published by the service provider on the website or on a price list on site, and the guest will be informed separately, upon request, before or during the provision of the accommodation service, depending on when the request for the additional service arises, but in any case before the use of the service. 

The scope of the Additional Services varies or may vary from time to time throughout the year.

The scope, content, conditions and Consideration of the Additional Services are always part of the GTC and their definitions are considered annexes to the GTC.

Accommodation Services: the provision of accommodation in a hotel for a non-permanent stay, including overnight accommodation and rest, and other services directly related to the provision of such accommodation, such as restaurant services, such as breakfast, which are not included in the Additional Services. 

Room: a single, double or multi-bedded room or suite in the hotel. The types of rooms available at any given time are listed on the website.

Service Contract: an agreement between the contracting parties, the subject matter of which is the various services provided by the service provider. 

Contracting parties: the parties to the service contract.

 

II. Scope of the General Terms and Conditions (GTC)

These GTC shall enter into force on 1 April 2021 and the provisions of these GTC shall apply to service contracts entered into on or after the date of entry into force.

Unless otherwise provided, the GTC shall not apply to a service contract concluded before its entry into force.

The scope of these GTC covers all service contracts.

The GTC do not cover, or only partially cover, service contracts which expressly state that the provisions of the GTC are not or only partially applicable.

The personal scope of these GTC applies to the service provider and to the guest or cost bearer who has concluded a service contract with the service provider.

All descriptions and information available to the guest, which define the conditions and content of a given service or services, but which are formally separate from the GTC, are considered annexes to the GTC. The subject matter of the GTC also includes its annexes.

 

Relationship between the Service Contract and the GTC, other provisions 

By entering into the Service Agreement, the provisions of the GTC shall also apply and bind the Contracting Parties.

The current GTC fills in the content of the service contract, if necessary, and interprets, explains, supplements and expands the provisions of the contract.

The GTC and the Service Contract contain all the declarations of the Service Provider and the Guest (or the Cost Bearer), unless the contracting parties enter into an additional agreement in connection with the Service Contract.

In the event that the Parties mutually agree to deviate from the current GTC in the Service Contract or in their other agreement, the Parties shall be deemed to be bound by the Service Contract or their other agreement.

Specific, individual terms and conditions do not form part of these GTC, but do not preclude the conclusion of separate agreements, such as other contracts with the guest.

The GTC also does not exclude the possibility for the service provider to conclude contracts with travel agents, tour operators or other third parties, with content and conditions appropriate to the type of transaction.

Accordingly, in the event of a request for the provision of a group accommodation service, the Service Provider is entitled to make the conclusion of the Service Contract subject to conditions other than those set out in these GTC.

The Service Provider shall provide the service in accordance with the service contract and the GTC, to the standard of the hotel's classification, in compliance with the applicable legal requirements and to the highest professional standard expected of the Service Provider.

The provider may offer different types of accommodation services at the same time.

Additional services (sauna, massage, etc.) are not part of the accommodation service, so the guest cannot request them as part of the accommodation service of that type. 

Accordingly, the fact that a service is directly related to and therefore forms part of a particular type of accommodation service does not necessarily mean that the same service is also part of another type of accommodation service, and therefore, in the latter case, the guest can only use it as an additional Service (including the Value for Money) under the conditions set out in the agreement with the service provider.

The Service Provider shall provide the Guest with information on the provision of the various types of services available during the given period, with the exact content of the information provided, orally or in writing, before the provision of the service.

If the service provider offers and organizes programs as a separate service, the individual program offers will only be held by the service provider if a certain minimum number of guests register for them, the service provider will specifically draw attention to the nature of these program offers when advertising the additional service.

 

III. Establishment of a service contract

A service contract may be concluded between the parties:

  • orally: in this case, the offer of one party (hereinafter referred to as the offer) is accepted orally by the other party, including by telephone. The oral offer must be accepted immediately, otherwise the Service Contract will not be concluded. In all cases, the Service Provider shall send the Guest a written confirmation of the acceptance of the oral offer by email (hereinafter referred to as "Confirmation").
  • in writing (email, etc.)

Holiday and other offers, promotions and discounts of the Service Provider published on the website and available at the reception desk of the hotel shall be considered as an offer even if they are not individual offers made on behalf of the Guest.

The Service Provider shall specify other services directly related to the provision of the accommodation (e.g. breakfast, half-board, etc.) in its offer or in the annexes to the GTC in force at the time. If there are additional services which may be ordered by the guest, the terms and conditions thereof shall be specified in the offer or in the annexes to the GTC in force at the time.

A guest may also request a personalised offer from the service provider, either in writing or orally.

If the service provider sends a confirmation with a different content than the offer accepted by the guest, for example due to an administrative error, it shall be considered as a new offer, which the guest has the right to accept or reject. If the guest accepts the confirmation which is to be considered as a new offer, the service provider shall confirm this to the guest in writing.

In the event of a dispute between the contracting parties concerning the conclusion and content of the Service Contract and the contractual performance or termination of the Service Contract, the contracting party who refers to it shall be obliged to prove the above and, in the event of a dispute, to prove it, whether it was concluded orally or in writing (including e-mail) or, in the case of a written form, whether the Service Contract does not meet the requirements of a private document with full probative value.

 

Terms and conditions of the service contract:

  1. the date or duration of the accommodation service, i.e. the day of arrival and the day of departure, number of nights
  2. the name of the guest
  3. guest's email address, phone number
  4. the number of persons arriving and staying with the guest,

  9. the additional services requested, if the guest was aware of them before the accommodation service was provided.

The service contract is concluded between the parties for a fixed period (the period between the Arrival Date and the Departure Date, including these two days). 

 

By concluding the service contract, the service provider undertakes to provide the accommodation service and, if required, the additional service as specified in the contract and the GTC to the guest and the person staying with him/her.

The guest undertakes to. 

  • use the service with the person staying with him/her and assume responsibility for the conduct of the person staying with him/her
  • pays the service provider within the payment deadline agreed in the contract
  • to pay the Service Provider the consideration for the Services used in due time, even if the Cost bearer is a person other than the Service Provider, but the Cost bearer fails to perform within the time limit. 

The service contract may be amended by mutual and unanimous agreement of the parties. 

 

IV. Termination of service contract

The Service Agreement shall terminate:

The contracting parties exclude the right of ordinary termination, so the contract cannot be terminated by either party by means of ordinary termination. 

  • by mutual agreement in writing, at any time, at a date agreed by the parties, without giving any reason 
  • with exceptional and immediate effect:

The Guest is entitled to terminate the contract with immediate effect in the event of, 

  • the service provider provides the service to the guest (and the person staying with him/her) in a way that seriously violates the provisions of the contract and does not ensure the contractual condition despite the service provider's request,
  • the service provider or any person acting on behalf or for the benefit of the service provider or any other guest engages in behavior towards the guest (and/or the person staying with the guest) which is manifestly contrary to the peaceful stay and relaxation in the hotel or to the requirements of human coexistence, or which is flagrant or intolerable and which the service provider fails to remedy despite being requested to do so,
  • the service provider, or a person acting for or on behalf of the service provider, or another guest, suffers from a contagious disease that endangers the health of the Guest (and the person staying with him/her),
  • except that in the case of (a) and (b), termination with immediate effect need not be preceded by a prior notice if the conduct complained of is so serious that the guest cannot be expected to continue the service contract.

The service provider is entitled to terminate the contract with immediate effect by means of an extraordinary notice of termination, in the unexpected event of

  • the guest (and/or the person staying with him/her) damages the hotel, including the room, the furnishings, accessories, other movable property or real estate owned or possessed by the service provider, and/or uses it in a manner contrary to its intended purpose and does not stop using it despite being requested to do so,
  • the guest (and/or the person staying with him/her) does not respect the safety rules and regulations of the service provider, behaves in a disrespectful or rude manner with its employees, is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or displays threatening, abusive or other unacceptable behavior, engages in scandalous or intolerable behavior towards other guests or other persons staying in the hotel which is contrary to the peace and quiet of the hotel or to the requirements of human coexistence and standards, and does not cease to do so despite being ordered to do so,
  • the guest is committing a crime,
  • the guest (and/or the person staying with the guest) suffers from a communicable disease that endangers the health of other guests and/or persons staying with the guest or of staff acting in the interest of or for the benefit of the service provider,
  • except that, in the case referred to in points (a) to (d), termination with immediate effect need not be preceded by a prior notice if the conduct complained of is so serious that the provider cannot be expected to continue the contract.

In the case of any of the above-mentioned cases of extraordinary termination, the guest is obliged to pay the consideration at the same time as the extraordinary termination:

  • If the service contract has been terminated by the guest for one of the reasons specified above, the guest is obliged to pay the service provider for the services already used. In this case, the guest is not obliged to pay the price of the services not yet used. If the guest has already paid the price of the services not yet used (e.g. by prepayment), it shall be returned to him in the same way as the payment was made.
  • If the service contract has been terminated by the service provider for a reason attributable to the guest, the service provider may claim the full amount of the consideration under the service contract, but may waive this in whole or in part at its discretion.

This regulation does not affect the obligation of the service provider or the guest to pay compensation under the law.

The service contract is terminated upon the death of the guest.

If the service contract between the parties is not fulfilled for reasons of "force majeure", the contract will be terminated.

Force majeure is a cause or circumstance (for example: war, fire, flood, natural disaster - weather, power failure, strike, virus) over which neither party has control and therefore either party is relieved of its obligations under the service contract for as long as such cause or circumstance exists. The Service Provider and the Guest (the Cost Bearer) agree to use their best endeavors to minimize the possibility of such causes or circumstances occurring and to remedy any damage or delay caused thereby as soon as possible.

The conciliation body is responsible for settling consumer disputes out of court. 

The role of the conciliation body is to attempt to reach an agreement between the parties to resolve the consumer dispute and, if this is not successful, to rule on the case in order to ensure that consumer rights are enforced in a simple, quick, efficient and cost-effective manner. 

At the request of the consumer or the Service Provider, the conciliation body shall advise on the rights and obligations of the consumer. 

 

In the case of cross-border consumer disputes related to online sales or online service contracts, only the conciliation body attached to the Budapest Chamber of Commerce and Industry is competent to handle the procedure. 

The Consumer may use the EU online dispute resolution platform in case of a complaint. Using the platform requires a simple registration on the European Commission system by clicking here. 

After logging in, consumers can then submit their complaint via the online website: http://ec.europa.eu/odr 

 

The service provider has a duty to cooperate in the conciliation procedure. 

As part of this, it must send its reply to the conciliation body and ensure the participation of a person authorised to negotiate a settlement at the hearing. If the business is not established in the county of the chamber of conciliation which operates the territorially competent conciliation body, the business's duty to cooperate extends to offering the consumer the possibility of a written settlement in accordance with his or her request.

If the consumer does not go to a conciliation body or if the procedure has not been successful, the consumer has the right to go to court to have the dispute resolved.

 

XVII Liability for damages

The Service Provider shall be liable for any damage caused to the guest due to the fault of the Service Provider's employees or persons acting on behalf of the Service Provider.

The liability of the service provider does not extend to damage caused by an unavoidable cause outside the control of the service provider's employees and guests, or caused by the guest himself.

The Service Provider is entitled to designate rooms in the hotel to which the guest is not entitled to enter, and the Service Provider shall not be liable for any damage that may occur in such rooms.

The service provider is liable for any damage resulting from possible defects in the hotel if the service provider has breached the rules on maintenance and/or has not acted as would normally be expected in the given situation in order to prevent damage. Compliance with the rules on maintenance and the fact that the service provider has acted in a way that can reasonably be expected in the given situation in order to prevent damage during maintenance shall be proven by the service provider in the event of doubt. 

The liability of the service provider for damages other than breach of contract or damages caused by breach of contract is governed by the rules of the Civil Code.

The guest is obliged to report the damage to the service provider immediately after the damage is discovered and to provide the hotel with all the necessary information required to clarify the circumstances of the damage and to record any police report or police proceedings.

The guest is liable for any damage caused by the guest to the service provider or any other third party, regardless of whether the injured party has the right to claim compensation for his/her damage directly from the service provider.

In the event that it is discovered after the final departure of the guest that the guest has undoubtedly caused material damage to the service provider or to another guest or third party, the service provider is entitled to claim the amount of the damage from the guest.

In the event that, after the final departure of the guest, it is suspected that the guest has caused material damage to the service provider or to other guests or third parties, the service provider is obliged to initiate police proceedings against the guest in order to clarify the facts and is obliged to hand over all evidence in its possession to the competent authority.

The service provider is entitled to determine the extent of the damage caused by the guest. 

If either of the contracting parties communicates data to the other party on a digital medium or via the Internet, it shall ensure that the data are safe, secure and virus-free by means of an appropriate virus protection device. 

If either party fails to comply with this obligation and as a result damages any computer or system of the other party, the party in breach will be liable for all damages.

 

XVIII. Data processing

The service provider will publish its privacy policy on its website. 

 

XIX Confidentiality

The Service Provider declares that all information and data obtained in connection with the Guest will be treated as confidential and will remain confidential for 10 years from the date of its disclosure. The protection of the data is otherwise ensured by the operation of the provisions of the Privacy and Data Protection Policy.

 

XX. Other provisions

If these GTCs confer a right or obligation on the Service Provider, the holder, exerciser or performer of the obligation shall be, first and foremost, the Service Provider's employees holding at least a middle management position, for example Front Office Manager, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, Restaurant Manager, Entertainment Manager and only secondly the Service Provider's General Manager.

An employee holding such a position is obliged to investigate the circumstances of the case in detail and to exercise his/her rights and obligations on that basis.

If the guest does not agree with the decision of the above employee, he/she may lodge a complaint with the employee's superior, unless the GTC in force at the time lays down special rules for the settlement of the complaint.

If the service contract is concluded with the service provider by the persons using the service together as guests on the eligible side, these guests are considered to be jointly and severally liable in respect of the contract concluded.

If any provision of the Service Agreement and the GTC, which form an integral part of it, should be invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. 

By means of interpretation or addition, a regulation must be found which achieves the economic objective pursued by the invalid provision within the limits permitted by law.

Certain provisions of the Service Agreement and the GTC, and the Annexes thereto, wherever placed or communicated, shall be understood and applied by the Parties as part of the agreement between the Parties and in accordance with their actual content.

The Service Provider is entitled to modify, at any time and unilaterally, the information, promotions, offers and discounts for the provision of various types of accommodation services and additional services, as well as the relevant policy, in the same way as the unilateral modification of the GTC, provided that such modifications shall not affect the content of the service contracts already concluded.

The Service Provider reserves the right to amend these GTC to bring them into line with the legal background and other internal regulations that may be amended in the meantime.

The GTC and any amendments thereto shall enter into force upon publication.

During the term of the service contract and the GTC, the parties shall act in their activities with due regard for the rights and interests of the other party, without hindering or impeding the other party's operations, and shall make every effort to resolve any disputes arising in connection with the service contract by amicable means.

With regard to matters not regulated herein, the Hungarian laws and regulations in force at the time and the provisions of the Civil Code shall apply to the activities of the Service Provider without any special stipulation.
