"Le petit déjeuner au prix de 10€ est inclus et indissociable du prix de la chambre."
Sentence in a "CONDITIONS GENERALES DE VENTE et REGLEMENT INTERIEUR" of a hotel.
Firstly, the whole concept sounds odd to my ears - is this in anyway a standard disclaimer??
According to the person for whom I'm doing the translation:
"Le client doit savoir ce que coûte en valeur le petit déj. et le distinguer du
prix de la chambre. Bien que inclus dans le prix de la chambre celui ci n'est pas gratuit."
But I'm not sure that this sentence indeed reflects this idea.
Thanks in advance for your help.

breakfast is included (value 10€, non deductible from room rate)
Or maybe "breakfast (value 10€) is included. There is no "room only" rate.

inseparable from the price of the room
Perhaps it could be for sales tax reasons? If the breakfast is not taxable but the room charge is? In this case some jurisdictions would require that what is being tax/non-taxed is disclosed, but the hotel doesn't want people ordering one without the other.

may not be deducted....

not really sure, as your client's explanation is rather muddled to my ears, but what I'm suggesting makes some sense. Ie, the hotel guest can't just pay the price of the room without paying for breakfast as well, even if he foregoes this. The total price for bed and breakfast applies, even if you don't take breakfast!

but cannot be deducted from the price of the room
Perhaps? In case anyone tries to get a reduction claiming that they don't want breakfast?

including a 10€ compulsory breakfast charge
i.e. 'un-opt-outable' but hard to put neatly !

i.e. you can opt out of actually eating their breakfast but you must still pay for it !

Breakfast (10 euros) is fixed into the price of the room
Hello,
In other words, there is nothing you can do about it, whether you take your breakfast or not!

Keep it short.
If the client wants to be more emphatic to make the point that the breakfast is paid for whether the guest takes it or not, add something -- anything -- else. Don't try to do it with an adjective.
