In case staying on longer is not possible, you are welcome to deposit your luggage in our office on the ground floor (only on weekdays until closing time at 4 pm\/16:00 h). Instead of keys, we will provide you with a 4-digit access code to your apartment. This code must be kept secret and may only be used by you.<\/p>\n Late arrival is no problem at all. Whether you arrive after office hours or during the weekend – you will be able to check in flexibly with your personal doorcode in any case.<\/p>\n Enter your personal 4-digit access code on the keypad and press the “YALE” key to confirm. If necessary, pull the doorknob slightly during the unlocking process. All apartment doors and the main entrance open inwards \u2013 just push open once they are unlocked.

With consideration for subsequent guests, we ask you to behave accordingly. Also, for reasons of fire protection, we must ask you not to smoke in the hallway, either.<\/p>\n Guests of apartments W3 and W8 may smoke outside on the balcony or on the loggia, respectively.

These must be cleaned by the guests and returned to their original storage location. We will charge the contractual partner for any damage and extra cleaning costs.<\/p>\n The common waste disposal unit is in the ground floor hallway opposite the door to the basement. Your apartment key fits the door. Here you will find the waste bin and separate containers for returnable bottles and glass as well as a plastics recycling container.
