Hello [host name],
We are 4 guests booked from 27 to 30 October. Thank you for hosting us!
1. Late self check-in: our train arrives at Bad Ischl station at about 20:00 on 27 October, so we will arrive later that evening (a rail replacement bus is part of the trip, so it may change a little). Is self check-in possible at that time? If yes, how exactly does it work (key box or door code, which door, exact address)?
2. Guest card: could you register us for the Gästekarte (Salzkammergut Card for guests)? Is the local tax included in the price?
3. Check-out on Friday 30 October: one of us leaves early, the other three a little later. Can we just leave the keys in the box?
Thank you very much! Best regards, [your name]

Guten Tag [Name],
wir sind 4 Gäste und haben bei Ihnen vom 27. bis 30. Oktober gebucht. Vielen Dank!
1. Später Self-Check-in: Unser Zug kommt am 27. Oktober gegen 20:00 Uhr in Bad Ischl an, wir kommen also erst am Abend (mit Schienenersatzverkehr kann sich das etwas verschieben). Ist Self-Check-in um diese Zeit möglich? Wenn ja, wie genau funktioniert es (Schlüsselbox oder Türcode, welche Tür, genaue Adresse)?
2. Gästekarte: Können Sie uns für die Gästekarte (Salzkammergut Card) anmelden? Ist die Ortstaxe im Preis enthalten?
3. Abreise am Freitag, 30. Oktober: einer von uns geht früh, die anderen drei etwas später. Dürfen wir die Schlüssel einfach in die Box legen?
Vielen Dank und freundliche Grüße, [Name]

While you're at it, check the address: on the mornings of 10-29 and 10-30 we take the 541 from our stop in Bad Ischl; if the address is wrong, leave about 30 minutes earlier.
On 10-28 the bus leaves from Bad Ischl train station at 09:24.

On 10-25 you thought it was too expensive (the three-course set is about €50, and you want to stay under €30 per person), and the 10-26 lunch was switched to Horgásztanya (decision D-55); if you already booked, cancel online or by phone.

Eat until about 19:00, then walk across the Chain Bridge to Gravity after the meal (51′ walk, about 1 h, which helps digestion).
Fallbacks: Gettó Gulyás (Wesselényi u. 18, 12–23 every day) or Mama Goulash, both within a 3–8 minute walk, just go on the spot.

Hello, I would like to book a table for 4 people on Thursday 29 October at 18:00 under the name [your name]. We have to catch the last bus at 19:00, so we would like to order quickly. Thank you!

Changed 10-29 10:24: after missing the planned 541, we are no longer going to Hallstatt (D-61), so no booking is needed.
Before that (D-60): Hallstatt in the evening became optional (second plan, decided only at Gosaumühle at 17:17); if you want to go, call to book before leaving, and if unsure don't book and just go to Bräugasthof when you arrive.
The opening hours page says 11:30–14:30 and 18:00–21:30; the tourist board listing says hot food until 20:30, open on Thursday.
Hallstatt has few dinner options: Muk's closes at 17:00, and Zum Bader is closed Wednesday and Thursday.
Fallback: Bräugasthof Hallstatt (phone, the page also says to reserve; closed Wednesday, open Thursday).
When 10-28 and 10-29 are swapped so Hallstatt falls on Wednesday, Bräugasthof is closed, leaving only Seewirt.

Booked on 10-27; the user said on 10-30 at 08:27 that it was booked, and I checked the Gmail confirmation on 10-30.
Non-refundable and cannot be changed; not showing up for check-in that day counts as a no-show. Room: 4 bunk beds and a private bathroom, a locker under each bed, towels must be rented at the front desk; guests must be 18 or older. The hotel e-mail reminds guests to do online check-in in advance, which needs everyone's ID; only the user can do this step. If it is not done, you can still do it at the front desk.
there is a bar downstairs. I did not ask whether luggage can be stored after check-out.
