Accepted methods, explained

American Express

A widely used credit card among business and international travelers. Ideal for guests who prefer statement tracking and potential card benefits.

Visa & Mastercard

Global credit card standards. Reliable for both domestic and international transactions, and commonly used by leisure and business travelers alike.

Maestro & EC-Card

• Maestro is a debit-card network widely issued in Europe.
• EC-Card is a common bank card format in German-speaking countries.
  Both are practical if you carry a European debit card and prefer to pay directly from your bank account.

UnionPay credit card

UnionPay is an international card network used by many travelers worldwide. If you carry a UnionPay credit card, you can use it at Hotel Plattenwirt for your room and incidental charges.

Cash

Prefer to settle in cash? That’s supported as well. Many guests use cash to pay smaller add-ons during their stay.

What you might pay for during your stay

A few common items guests choose to purchase or reserve, so you can plan accordingly:

• Breakfast: A generous hot-and-cold breakfast buffet is served daily, with vegetarian options clearly indicated.
• Drinks: Enjoy beverages at the hotel bar until 24:00; after midnight, drinks are available from a vending machine—so refreshments are accessible around the clock.
• Parking: On-site parking is available as a paid service and requires advance reservation.
• Pets: Pets are allowed on request; additional charges may apply.
• EV charging: An on-site electric vehicle charging point (E‑Tankstelle) is available for guests.
• Gift vouchers: Purchase gift vouchers online via the hotel’s Gutschein Shop—ideal for treating friends or family to a future stay.

Note: Specific inclusions (like breakfast) vary by room and rate; your confirmation shows what’s included and what’s billed separately.

Practical tips for smooth, secure checkout

• Bring a primary and a backup payment method. A credit card plus a debit card (e.g., Maestro/EC‑Card) gives you flexibility.
• Know your PIN. Chip‑and‑PIN is common in Europe; having your PIN handy speeds up card-present transactions.
• Inform your bank about travel dates. Many banks use fraud monitoring; a quick travel notice helps prevent declines.
• Match the name on your booking and card. This helps the front desk verify your payment quickly at check‑in or check‑out.
• Keep your confirmation handy. Your rate’s cancellation and pre‑payment terms are spelled out there, so you’ll know exactly when charges occur.
• Plan for add-ons. If you’ll need parking (paid, reservation required), traveling with a pet (charges may apply), or using the bar after midnight, decide which payment method you’ll use for incidentals.
