Explanation:
We would appreciate you complying with the following points for the health and safety of your group and for the convenience and comfort of the rest of the guests staying at the hotel. It is important to respect their needs for a peaceful and relaxing stay.

Please dry yourself before entering the hotel after swimming or showering.

Please do not slam doors or behave noisily in the hotel corridors.

It is forbidden to jump or climb from one balcony to another.

Please dispose of litter in the bins provided.

After using the beach, please clean yourself and your belongings of sand before entering the hotel.

No ball games are allowed in the vicinity of the hotel.

Please report any problems or damage in your hotel room immediately to reception to avoid any misunderstanding.

Please look after the hotel facilities and report any damage immediately to hotel reception.

External telephone calls can be made through the two telephones available at reception; the room telephones should not be used for this purpose.

Please keep to the hotel restaurant eating hours. The hotel management reserve the right not to serve group members arriving more than 15 minutes late for a meal reservation.

Alcohol will only be served to students with the permission of the group leader.

Soft and alcoholic drinks, including coffee must be paid for separately.

An open credit card deposit may be required upon arrival as security against non-accidental damage by members of the group. This will be returned on departure.

If in doubt please ask at reception; the receptionist speaks English and will be pleased to assist in any way possible.

Thank you for your kind co-operation.

(in-)house rules


Explanation:
My feeling. The term "house" explains that these rules have been written specially for the place in question.

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: "in-house" is used to mean within the context of a company, not literally within a building. Possibly if addressed to employees within the context of the hotel as a business, but this is intended for clients/guests. "House rules": too informal for a hotel

hotel information (in this context)


Explanation:
I think any mention of "rules" seems inappropriate in this context, so I'd try to rephrase it in a slightly less autocratic manner.

neutral  Michael GREEN: I think "information" suggests hints about whether to dress for dinner, meal times, etc, while "hotel rules" usually set out the cost of the room, departure times, and so on.

neutral  AllegroTrans: "Information" and "rules" in hotels are often on separate notices, so this doesn't really work and it leaves your answer rather ambiguous
