Booking Terms

The terms and conditions set out below apply to all bookings made through this website for any of our hotels. Red Carnations Hotels (UK) Limited is a company registered in England and Wales (No 3328595) whose registered office is at 35 Charles Street, London, W1J 5EB (“we” or “our”).

Pricing

All prices shown online are per room per night (unless otherwise stated). Prices are subject to Value Added Tax at the current prevailing rate and local tourism levies, if applicable.

Prices are subject to change without notice. However, your price is guaranteed once you receive a booking confirmation. For the avoidance of doubt, prices do not include any incidental charges, which you may incur during your stay (including, for example, in respect of your use of the hotel's bar and mini-bar facilities and the costs of external telephone calls from your room). Such charges will be payable by you on your departure and, in the event that you fail to pay any such incidental charges, it is a condition of your contract with us that you irrevocably authorise us to debit your credit or debit card (see 'Deposits and Pre-payments' below) for the amount of any shortfall.

The prices shown online are not valid in conjunction with any other offer and, until you have received your confirmation number.

Availability

Availability of rooms at the rates shown online may be limited and/or restricted to certain periods.

Children

Children under the age of 5 can stay free of charge at any of our hotels, when sharing a room with two paying adults where a suitable room is available. Children from the ages of 5 to 16 will be charged a supplement per child per night for bed & breakfast. Availability of suitable rooms is limited and portable beds may need to be used where such accommodation is sought. The hotel concerned will determine whether a room is suitable for the purpose of this offer. We do offer child-friendly menus and these are charged as taken.

Guest with impaired mobility

Red Carnation Hotels endeavor to offer the same high-quality facilities to our less able-bodied guests. Where possible, special facilities include wheelchair-adapted bathrooms, ramps, and lifts in public areas. Guides dogs are welcome in all our hotels. Please check with your chosen hotel if you have any special requirements. We will do our best to accommodate your wishes.

Pets

All of our hotels are able to accommodate pets, given prior notice. We do charge a deposit which is fully refunded on departure subject to there being no soiling or damage caused. Please contact the hotel directly for details.

Car parking

For information on parking availability and charges, please contact the hotel directly.

Arrival and departure

Hotel rooms are available from 2pm on the day of arrival. Rooms must be vacated by 12 noon on the day of departure, unless otherwise sanctioned at the discretion of the hotel manager.

Health, leisure and beauty

Many of our hotels have leisure facilities on or off-site (which are free for guests). The availability and range of facilities varies from hotel to hotel. Please check the availability and range of facilities at your chosen hotel when placing your booking. A charge will be made for the use of certain facilities such as beauty treatments. Your use of such facilities is subject to any particular terms and conditions applying at the hotel at which you have placed your booking. Age restrictions may apply to certain facilities and details of these are available from your chosen hotel.

Deposits and pre-payments

Deposits and pre-payments are not required for most of the rates featured online (unless you are settling your account in cash - see under 'Balance of Monies Outstanding' below). However, you will be asked to guarantee your booking with a valid credit or debit card. No payment is taken from your credit or debit card at the time of booking. Payment is taken on departure or in the event of cancellation otherwise than in accordance with our cancellation terms. See 'Cancellations and Amendments' below for details on cancellations.

Balance of monies outstanding

On arrival you will be asked to produce a valid debit or credit card for the hotel to take authorisation. If you are settling your account in cash, you will be asked for a deposit. We accept all major credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa and American Express. Alternatively, payment can be made by cheque supported by a current cheque guarantee card. We do not accept cheques drawn from an overseas bank account.

Cancellations and amendments

Booking terms and conditions apply to the hotel you're staying at, please check your reservation. 

Whilst every effort is made to fulfill any particular requests which you may have in relation to your stay with us, we cannot, unfortunately, guarantee that we will be able to meet any particular requests which you may make and our failure in this regard will not constitute a breach of contract.

In the unlikely event that we have to change or cancel your reservation, we reserve the right to do so. However, you have the right to:

  • accept the changed arrangements as notified; or
  • make alternative arrangements with us; or
  • cancel your reservation (please note that we shall not be liable for any sums which you have paid to any other persons in connection with your reservation).
 For the avoidance of doubt, we shall have no further liability to you for any changes to or the cancellation of any online booking.

Complaints or comments

We take our guest satisfaction very seriously. Any complaint or comment regarding a stay at one of our hotels should be made in the first instance to the hotel's duty manager at the time of your stay so that we can attempt to resolve it immediately. 
Problems which cannot be resolved there and then should be notified in writing to Managing Director, Red Carnation Hotels, 35 Charles Street, London, W1J 5EB
