When I apply the exchange rate on the date of the transaction, the dollar amount of my charge roughly corresponded to the 820€ I should have been charged. Ignoring exchange rates for a minute, I don't understand why the property would only charge 795€ when the rate I agreed to, 820€, was 100% prepaid and non-refundable.
If your bank told you the amount charged in euros was 820 euros, then the hotel got 820 euros and the issue isn't related to exchange rates.
