As a guest of Living Hotels you now have the possibility, when booking a hotel rate with daily cleaning, to waive the daily room cleaning including bed linen and towel change for a good cause.* On the one hand, you protect our environment due to a reduction of used water and detergents and on the other hand, Living Hotels donates 4,00 EUR to a non-profit organisation for every cleaning not performed.
This is how it works:
- When booking via our website, select the "Do something good for free" package in the second or third step "Add-Ons". The cleaning waiver (including the waiver of bed linen, towel/bath towel change) is then automatically added to your booking.
- If you book directly with us, please inform our staff by phone or e-mail that you wish to waive the daily room cleaning.
- If you have booked via other platforms, you also have the option of waiving room cleaning at check-in. Please contact our colleagues at the reception desk directly.

It is with great pleasure that the team at Living Hotel am Olympiapark was able to donate 4,084 euros to Kleine Patienten in Not e.V. The organization is committed to the well-being of children who have been involved in accidents and provides them with comfort and reassurance through a Trösterbär (comfort bear).
We are proud to support this important project and would like to thank everyone who contributed to this donation. Together, we are helping to make difficult moments a little bit easier.
In April 2024, the team of Living Hotel am Deutschen Museum was able to give a cheque of EUR 1,236 to the Initiative Krebskranke Kinder e.V. for the period October 2023 to February 2024. Under the motto "Giving strength together", we look forward to future donations for the benefit of sick children.
In October 2022, the Cleaning Waiver pilot project was launched at the Berlin Living Hotels. Thanks to the decision of our guests to waive room cleaning and the great support of the teams in Berlin, we were able to donate a total of EUR 17,948 to the Berlin animal shelter from October 2022 to June 2023. Due to these excellent results, the project is gradually being rolled out in all Living Hotels. The beneficiary organizations are selected by the hotel employees.
*This voluntary offer is only bookable for hotel rates with daily room cleaning and only from two consecutive nights. If you book longer than 7 nights with us, a one-time cleaning will take place on the 7th day of your stay. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to waive cleaning only on individual days at the moment. Following your check-out, a final cleaning of the room will of course take place.
