The wishes for single rooms can only be fulfilled if the required hotel has enough of them available. Although there are price supplements for single bedrooms, it may be that these rooms are smaller than double bedrooms and don’t have the same furnishing. Every effort is made to reserve only twin-bedded rooms. Occasionally, some hotels will only provide double-bedded rooms. These rooms will be allocated to couples.
Distances (in kilometres) are only optional indications for which Cyclands cannot be held responsible.
