I don't know why some people are so outraged. It's not any different to well established practices in other countries. Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Italy (Alps part)... all have similar guest fees. Sometimes you pay them as part of your stay, sometimes separately.
At least in Germany they always are attached to overnight stays afaik
I'm not sure how you'd enforce such a fee generally except for cities like Venice that get a lot of visitors by cruise ship
I know Waren has a day fee in addition to the night fee.
Lol been in waren multiple times (never at a hotell tho) and havent heard anything about it.
5 month now. Maybe you have been there before or outside the taxed area
Ive been in the centrum, but always slept in Village a little outside the city. Well technically I once slept at the water in the centrum
