German term or phrase: festzulegen
wenn ich doch in Danzig bereits ein Hotel gebucht habe, brauche ich doch keinen e-mail-Hinweis mehr(habe ich schon 2 oder 3 mal erhalten), dass jetzt die Hotels günstiger werden! Das trifft auch für das von mir gebuchte Hotel gar nicht zu. P.S. Übrigens finde ich die neue Möglichkeit bei einer Buchung eines DZ für eine Person, festzulegen, dass man auch nur für eine Person das Frühstück benötigt.

Explanation:
"PS: By the way, I like the new option that when you book a double room for one person, you can now also select that breakfast is only needed for one person."

I added "like" at the beginning because without that (or something else) you are left with a fragment, not a sentence. In other words, something is missing in your sentence. Without that, that sentence makes no sense.

Or simplify that sentence even further:

"..you can now also select breakfast for one person only.."

Explanation:
It's pretty straightforward, '' festzulegen, dass man auch nur für eine Person das Frühstück benötigt.'' - to determine/confirm that breakfast required for one person only.

stipulate


Explanation:
Übrigens finde ich die neue Möglichkeit bei einer Buchung eines DZ für eine Person, festzulegen, dass man auch nur für eine Person das Frühstück benötigt.

In addition/What's more, I feel/find/think that the need for stipulating breakfast for one in this new option for booking a double room for one person/a single occupant is inapproriate.

Confirm.


Explanation:
The writer was either happy or unhappy (this is unclear) that the hotel confirmed whether a single occupancy (two bed) room also meant that only one person would be eating breakfast the next morning.
