When checking availability or making a booking, you will automatically be redirected to our externally operated booking system OnePageBooking. At this stage, it is not necessary to provide any information about yourself.
Only when you wish to make a binding booking of a room, personal data is required from you for the booking. This data is stored in the HotelNetSolutions GmbH system. You will receive an automatic booking confirmation with a unique booking number to the email address provided during the booking process. The data is then transferred to the system of the person responsible.
All booking data will be deleted from the OnePageBooking system three days after departure or in case of cancellation. We delete the data accruing in this context from our system after the storage is no longer required or restrict the processing if there are statutory retention obligations.
PAYMENT
You have the option to pay either by providing your credit card details or by SofortÜberweisung.
For payment processing via the payment method „SofortÜberweisung“ we use the payment service provider Klarna GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich. Your payment data is transmitted directly to the payment service provider for secure processing of the payment by the user and is not stored on our server. Your personal data will only be passed on to the extent necessary for the processing of the contract.
If you choose the payment method „credit card“, your credit card details will be stored on the OnePageBooking system. Your credit card will not be charged at this stage of the booking, but your details will be stored in the hotel system for later payment and will only be charged accordingly on departure.
