We adopt dynamic pricing, and the price of our rooms fluctuates based on demand. When you make a reservation request, we will give you a total price for the rooms and number of nights you’ve requested. The price you pay is the price quoted to you at the time you make your reservation.
Room prices are per room, per night and are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate at the time of your reservation. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your reservation and the date of your stay, we may adjust the rate of VAT but the price you pay will remain the same. Up to two kids (under 13) stay for free with one full paying adult in our Family rooms.
Meals and other extras are not included in the room price, but you may be able to add them to your reservation during the booking process or they may be available to you during your stay. You may pay for breakfast and selected extras at the same time as paying for your room. For every accompanying adult paying for breakfast, up to two children under the age of 13 can eat breakfast for free. If you have breakfast and selected extras as part of your reservation and the rate of VAT changes between the date of your reservation and the date of your stay, we may adjust the rate of VAT, but the price you pay will remain the same. All other meals and extras must be paid for separately.
