The room is available until 11 am on the day of departure, the apartments until 12 noon, unless you have purchased a later check-out.
Please inform the cleaning team of your departure by placing an “I’M OUT” sign outside the room.
Please also make sure your room is tidy before you leave. Bed linen can be piled on the floor and rubbish sorted in the appropriate bins in the common areas.
In the self-catering apartments, everyone cleans up after themselves, so please follow our rules: clean the apartment, vacuum and wipe down surfaces if necessary, wash the dishes and take the rubbish bag to the waste bin in the courtyard.
Why do I need to do the final cleaning?
For hostel rooms, we hope your room will be basic clean. Bed linen can be piled on the floor and rubbish sorted in the appropriate bins in the common areas. In the apartments, final cleaning is carried out by the guests.
Together, when we keep the facilities tidy, they will last longer in good condition.
By also keeping cleaning costs down, we can keep our basic prices affordable.
After the customer’s final cleaning, our in-house cleaning professionals are able to carry out a thorough final cleaning, so that everyone can stay with us in our quality-cleaned accommodation.
