Important remarks

  • Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
  • Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
  • A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
  • Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
  • Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
  • To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
