OF GRANDHOTEL PUPP KARLOVY VARY, A. S.

Conditions for the Conclusion of an Accommodation Agreement

1. GRANDHOTEL PUPP Karlovy Vary, a. s. (hereinafter the Hotel or Accommodation Provider) provides services according to its classification corresponding to the level of the Hotel.
2. Accommodation of a guest is always defined in the course of a binding reservation, and the guest is charged the corresponding price for such accommodation type according to the valid price list.
3. The Hotel shall be entitled to preferentially accommodate guests who have a valid accommodation reservation and who are duly registered. Guests are required to present a valid proof of identity, ID card or passport upon arrival, sign the registration card, and provide a guarantee by prepayment in cash, credit card or pre-authorization of a credit card in the appropriate amount. In addition, the hotel requires pre-authorisation of a credit card or a cash deposit of at least CZK 5000,- for any additional services. The receptionist shall issue the guest accommodation card containing the name of the hotel, the guest's name, the room number and the time for vacating the room on the last day of the stay. This shall be deemed the conclusion of an Accommodation Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 2326 et seq. of Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code. The receptionist shall provide the guest with an electronic room key (depending on the number of accommodated guests). The Accommodation Agreement shall always be entered into in writing. To observe the requirement for the written form, the confirmation of the reservation order in writing or by e-mail or the completion of the guest registration card shall be sufficient.
4. The processing of the guest’s personal data for accommodation purposes shall be governed by the GDPR and the applicable legislation; details are available on the Hotel's website. The guest hereby grants consent to the Accommodation Provider to process and keep their personal data to the extent of the data provided for the purposes of providing accommodation and registering guests pursuant to Act No. 565/1990 Coll. on local fees and levies and Act No. 326/1999 Coll. on the stay of foreign nationals in the territory of the Czech Republic and amending certain laws. The detailed obligations of the guest and the Accommodation Provider regarding the keeping of the guest register, or the house books, are stipulated in the above-stated legal regulations.
5. Should the guest not present a valid proof of identity (personal ID card, passport), the Hotel is entitled to refuse to accommodate the guest.
6. Guests under the age of 18 shall be accommodated only if accompanied by an adult.
7. Based on a confirmed order, the Hotel shall accommodate the guest from 2 p.m. to 12 a.m. For this period of time, the room is reserved for the guest, unless otherwise specified in the order. Any earlier check-in before 2 p.m. shall be agreed on in advance at the time of the reservation, and the guest must wait for written approval and a possible extra charge for this premium service by the Hotel.
8. The Hotel has no obligation to accommodate guests without a prior confirmed reservation or guests arriving after 12 a.m.
9. Both the Accommodation Provider and the guest shall comply with any and all legal regulations of the Czech Republic. They shall also comply with any governmental regulations relating to public health and the epidemiological situation in the Czech Republic. This mainly concerns situations in which, for example, an emergency condition is declared and relevant public health restrictions are applied and which must be observed by both the Accommodation Provider and the guest. Should the guest fail to comply with the declared restrictions (e.g., antigen tests, mandatory mask, vaccinations, etc.), the Accommodation Provider may immediately terminate the Accommodation Agreement without any claims from the guest. Should the guest be unable to present the required documentation relating to such restrictions upon arrival, the Accommodation Provider is entitled to refuse to enter into the Accommodation Agreement (despite the valid reservation) without the obligation to refund the fees or funds already paid. If such restrictions are imposed during the stay of the guest (i.e., the Accommodation Agreement has already been concluded), the Hotel shall notify the guest of such fact, including the consequences of non-observance. 

10. Free cancellation is possible at any time until arrival. In case of early termination of the stay by the guest without serious reasons due to force majeure, the original booking will be charged. The first night's price will be charged for no-shows.

Accommodation Provider’s Responsibility for the Guest’s Belongings

10. Should belongings be lost or stolen, this fact shall be immediately reported to the Hotel operator/receptionist, who will contact the Police of the Czech Republic.

The Hotel bears no liability for any other of the guest’s belongings put aside or forgotten. The Hotel shall be liable for jewellery, cash and other valuables only if they have been placed in the Hotel vault, taken over by the Hotel for safekeeping, or if they have been damaged as a result of the conduct of the Hotel staff. The accommodation facility is responsible for the cash and belongings stored in the Hotel vaults in keeping with the applicable legislation of the Czech Republic. A claim for damage compensation shall be lodged with the Hotel within 15 days of the aggrieved guest identifying the damage. Belongings forgotten or left in the room after the guest’s departure shall be stored by the Hotel for a maximum of 3 months.
