 A    Making a booking and identification required on arrival at the hotel

  1. Please follow the directions on the website, mobile site or app or as advised to you on our telephone booking service to make a booking. 
  2. If you book three or more rooms for the same night we will treat this as a “Group Booking”.
  3. We will issue you with a confirmation number when a booking has been made.  The confirmation number is proof that we have accepted your booking.  No booking shall be binding on Piccadilly until we issue you with a confirmation number.
  4. Your booking is not transferable.  You cannot transfer or resell your booking (in whole or in part) or advertise or otherwise offer any Piccadilly room for sale and if you do transfer or resell (or attempt to transfer or resell) your booking then we may terminate your booking and retain any money paid to us for such booking.  Any bookings resold or transferred may not be honoured and we accept no liability in respect of this.  We may also refuse to take any future bookings from you.
  5. You must ensure that the name on a booking is correct at the time of booking as we will not change the name on the booking afterwards.
  6.  You are responsible for ensuring that each person who stays at the hotel under your booking, even if you make a booking for someone else’s benefit and don’t stay yourself, complies with these terms.
  7. You must be aged 18 years or over to make a booking with us and you must be aged 18 years or over to stay alone.  If a guest arrives at the hotel and is under 18 years of age the guest will not be permitted to stay alone.  We may require photo identification (a driver’s licence or passport) as proof of age and if the guest is unable to present this to the satisfaction of the hotel we may terminate your booking without refund.
  8. You must be able to show photo identification (a driver’s licence, passport or national ID card) and a valid credit or debit card if you are paying by cash for a pay on arrival or walk-in booking at Piccadilly hotel.  If you are unable to produce this to the satisfaction of the hotel we may terminate your booking without refund.
  9. You must be able to show photo identification (a driver’s licence, passport or national ID card) or the credit or debit card used to make your booking if requested by Piccadilly at any time.  If you are unable to produce this to the satisfaction of the hotel we may terminate your booking without refund.

B     Payment

  1.  The rate for each room is as published on our website, mobile site or app (as applicable) at the time of your booking on that channel or in the case of a telephone booking as advised to you at the time of booking. 
  2. Room rates are per room per night and are inclusive of VAT and exclusive of meals and other Extras.  You may be able to add Extras to your booking during the booking process or during your stay.  
  3. All non – refundable payments are due in full at the time of booking unless you are otherwise advised by us. 
    For all ‘pay at the hotel’ bookings we will pre-authorise the card 3-4 days before you arrive. If funds are not available we will let you know and an alternative valid card must be provided, failure to do so will result in us cancelling your booking.
  4. If your booking is not payable in full at the time of booking we require debit or credit card details to be provided at the time of booking and we will charge such payment card for the cost of the first night of the booking if you fail to arrive.  You will need to pay on arrival and you must do so by using, in person only, the payment card which you used to make the booking or cash.  We do not accept payment over the telephone, by fax or by cheque.

  6. Group Bookings only:  All payments are due in full at the time of booking for Group Bookings made 28 days or fewer before the scheduled date of arrival and are not refundable.  For Group Bookings made more than 28 days before the scheduled date of arrival a 10% deposit is due in full at the time of booking and is not refundable and you must pay the final balance for your Group Booking at least 28 days before the scheduled date of arrival.  If we do not receive payment of the full balance by this time your Group Booking will be cancelled automatically and no correspondence will be sent to you.

  7. Our Liability: 
    a. We will not be liable for any losses which are not caused by either a breach of these terms by us, our non-compliance with our duties under applicable legislation or our negligence.  We will also not be liable for any losses which were not foreseeable to both parties when the contract was formed.  Loss is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen for example if you discussed it with us during the booking process. 
    b. We want to provide a safe and secure environment for your stay and where necessary we will take appropriate security measures.  Under the Hotel Proprietors’ Act 1956 (“Act”) we may be liable for loss or damage to your property while you are staying in our hotels.  Where the Act provides that our liability is capped at an amount, we will only be liable up to the maximum sums under the Act.  If an incident occurs during your stay resulting in the theft, loss or damage of your property we will carry out an internal investigation.  If we do not feel certain that your property was stolen, lost or damaged through any fault of ours, our staff or agents our liability will be limited to the maximum sums under the Act and if an incident is referred to the Police and they draw the same conclusion as us this will also be evidence that our liability is limited to those maximums. 
    c. In respect of all losses which are not subject to a maximum liability under the Act or are not covered by the Act, our total liability to you for any and all losses shall not exceed twice the total daily rate we charge you for your booking.  If your booking includes a number of different daily rates, the average rate will be used.
    d. We will not be liable in any circumstances for any loss or damage to vehicles you bring to the hotel or any property left in them regardless of whether they are parked in a car park connected to the hotel or not. 
    e. Nothing in these terms will exclude or limit our liability for fraud or death or personal injury caused by our negligence or any other matter which it would be illegal for us to (or to attempt to) exclude or limit. 
  8. Severability:  If any provision in these terms is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part then the provision will apply with whatever deletion or modification is necessary so that the provision is legal, valid and enforceable.  You and we intend that the legality, validity and enforceability of the remainder of these terms shall not be affected.
  9. Waiver:  Any failure by us to enforce our rights or remedies under these terms or otherwise or any delay in enforcing such rights or remedies shall not be construed as a waiver by us of those or any other rights or remedies. 
  10. Third Party Rights: This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
  11. Law: These terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in relation to these terms shall be governed by and will be interpreted in accordance with English law.  All disputes arising out of or relating to these terms or any non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to these terms shall be submitted to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts save that you agree that we retain the right to bring proceedings against you for breach of these terms in your country of residence or any other relevant country.
