We carefully select all our hotels; however we or the hotel cannot take responsibility for any events off the Hotel premises. Even though you have paid us directly, unfortunately your contract would be with the hotel.
This may vary from one night to several nights depending on your tour.
The majority of our hotels do have a lift however some of the smaller hotels may not have a lift.
If you use services such as the phone or mini bar, or pay TV whilst in your room, you will have to pay the hotel directly when you check out; these services are not included in your tour cost. Any damages made in hotel rooms, which you are staying in you will have to pay the hotel directly when you check out.
We are happy to arrange extra night's accommodation for you at the beginning and/or end of your tour. You will find the costs detailed under prices and departures. Please be aware that if you are travelling alone you will need to pay the single supplement for pre and post tour accommodation.
Transfers are not included for hotel bookings only.
In most of the hotels we use, their will be accommodation for three people. If you have a second-child sharing in your room, we may be able to offer you a reduction. Please check with us to see if this is applicable to your group.
We will always supply a hotel of the category stated on our website and brochure. The hotels will always be of a similar standard to the hotel mentioned; we do not have to upgrade you to a hotel but ensure we provide a hotel with similar facility.
If on the other hand you are simply dissatisfied with your hotel then you will more than likely be charged to amend or upgrade your accommodation, a cost which will have to be bourne by yourself.
No not all hotels will have AC facilities, we recommed you carry a small portable fan during the summer periods.
Wi-Fi is available in most of our hotels, however this may be chargeable in some Hotels, or may only be available in certain areas of the hotel. It is not guranteed you will have Wi-Fi in your rooms.
Hotels have traditionally provided services on the basis of people travelling in pairs with a limited number of single rooms. Since hotels charge per room, not simply the number of people staying in them, solo travellers will proportionately pay higher prices, though many hotels will offer a discounted rate to solo travellers rather than charging them the full room rate.
Even when single rooms are available they are not generally half the size of a double and also will usually have en-suite facilities, so consequently hotels will not usually charge half the rate they would for a double.
You will find this is the case in most hotels in Switzerland, Austria & Germany. It is due to the flexibility it offers the hotel when offering rooms types (i.e. converting Twin to Double, and Double to Twin) hence you will find this is the norm in many hotels in Switzerland. This will be the case in all hotels Star Tours uses in Switzerland and Southern Germany.
