After exhausting every prediction, our office reserves the right to price adjustments, when the above cost factors change.

Triple-occupancy rooms are, in fact, double-occupancy rooms with an extra bed. They are usually not very comfortable and the additional bed can be smaller than a single bed, or couch or foldable bed.\u00a0Rooms are made available by the hotel around 14:00-15:00 and are at the guests\u2019 disposal until 12:00 on the day of departure. On day trips by coach, seats are given in order of registration and do not change during the trip, while on multi-day trips seats may change on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>
