Cultural Tip

In Germany, 24‑hour room service is not as common as in some other countries; many hotels limit service to certain hours or to a limited menu. When you hear "rund um die Uhr" in a German hotel, it usually means you can call the front desk for basic items (water, coffee, toiletries) at any hour, but full meals may still have set times.
