How the €250 cash limit works
- Cash payments are possible up to €250.00.
- If your total exceeds this limit, plan to use a debit/credit card or contactless method for the remainder.
- Bring exact change if you intend to pay cash.
This approach ensures quick, accurate settlement at reception and keeps your check-in smooth—especially helpful during peak hours.
Understanding pre-authorization (deposit) and holds
The hotel may place a pre-authorization equal to the first night as a guarantee, especially on flexible rates or when you arrange a late arrival.
- What it is: A pre-authorization is a temporary hold, not a charge. It verifies funds and secures your booking.
- Release timing: The hotel releases the hold immediately after check-out. Your bank typically returns the amount to your balance within 3–7 business days.
- Why it helps: A valid hold supports late check-in (via key safe on request) and speeds up payment at arrival.
Tip: If you prefer to pay by a specific card at check-in, have it ready so reception can finalize payment on that card.
When is payment taken?
- At check-in or via pre-authorization according to your booking conditions.
- Flexible rate bookings are usually guaranteed by pre-authorization (first night) and then settled at check-in.
- Non-refundable rates are immediately final and cannot be changed or refunded.
If your plans change, note the hotel’s policy:
- Free cancellation up to 48 hours before arrival (Europe/Amsterdam time). After that, one night is charged.
- No-show: If there is no arrival and no message before 08:00 the day after scheduled arrival, the first night is charged.
Invoices for companies
Need an invoice in your company’s name? That’s straightforward:
- Provide your VAT number and Chamber of Commerce details in advance.
- You’ll receive an invoice made out to your company after payment is processed.

Tourist tax and related charges to plan for
- Tourist tax: €3.00 per person per night (not included in room rates). This is added to your final bill.
- Pets (dogs in select rooms): €15.00 per night plus a €50.00 deposit. Dogs are not allowed in the breakfast room and Suite; leashes are required in public areas.
If you’re traveling with children, baby cots are available for €10.00 per night (reserve in advance). See more amenities and policies on the facilities page.

Parking, EV charging, and how to pay

- Redeem your discount by scanning the QR/validation code at the payment machine before exiting.
- Payment in the garage: debit card, credit card, or charging card.
