I visited this hotel in December and recently received a letter stating that I hadn't paid the tourism tax of 5.20 Euro. During my stay, my address was still in Germany since I had lived there for two years. However, I permanently left Germany on January 10th, and the letter arrived on January 9th. Due to a busy schedule, I couldn't thoroughly check the letter at that time.
Now that I have some time to review the letter, I am surprised to find that it claims I didn't pay the tax, and mentioning German government court or something. I believe the hotel should have requested the tax payment during check-in if it was necessary.
Additionally, during my check-in, there was a mix-up regarding the breakfast inclusion despite my reservation clearly stating it. The staff initially claimed my room didn't include breakfast, but after showing my reservation, they apologized for the error. While I understand that mistakes can happen, the recent letter mentioning the German court has left me concerned about the hotel's overall working process.
I am really freaked out now and worried if I will have some disadvantage from the German government. I sent the money 5.2 euro and I hope it's not too late
