Dear Madam,
Dear Sir,

We hereby inform you that on 16 December 2025, a security incident occurred on the side of an external provider of the reservation system used by HOTEL AWO.

According to the information provided by the system supplier, unauthorised persons gained access to the server infrastructure, which may have resulted in access to a portion of hotel guests’ personal data. At present, it is not possible to clearly confirm which specific data may have been obtained; however, for security reasons, we are informing you about this incident.

The hotel did not process payment card data or national identification numbers.

Possible consequences

Due to the nature of the data, there is a risk of attempts involving:

  • telephone or e-mail contact,
  • impersonation of the hotel or its employees,
  • attempts to obtain payments or additional information by referring to a reservation.

What we recommend

We kindly ask you to exercise particular caution:

  • do not respond to suspicious messages or phone calls,
