Check-in:
In compliance with the regulations in force, non-French Clients may be required to complete a police form upon arriving at the Hotel. The Client’s proof of identity will be requested in order to proceed with this step.
Bedrooms:
It is customary for Clients to be given access to their bedrooms from 4:00pm on, and to check out before noon. In the event of late arrival, please let us know ahead of time.
Any unauthorised late check-outs between noon and 3:00pm shall be invoiced an extra €150. Check-outs after 3:00pm shall be invoiced as an extra night.
All our bedrooms are non-smoking. Should a bedroom smell of smoke following your departure, you shall be billed for an extra night without prior notice.
Keys that are lost or not returned upon check-out shall be invoiced at €25 each.
Pricing:
Room prices vary depending on booking dates and availability for the room category the Client requires.
Prices are given in Euros per room and per night, all taxes included. The Client is informed of the tourist tax payable prior to booking.
Relocation:
In the event of exceptional circumstances or cases of force majeure, as provided for under Article 1218 of the French Civil Code, that fully or partially prevent the Hotel from providing the Client with their booked room, the Hotel reserves the right to cancel all or part of the booking and Services, or to offer full or partial alternative accommodation to the Client, with the latter’s agreement, in a hotel of equivalent status, and for Services of the same kind.
It is expressly agreed that cases of force majeure, for the purposes of these T&Cs, include circumstances that prevent the Hotel from fulfilling its obligations, notably (yet non-exhaustively) the following events: pandemics, strikes, flooding, water or electricity supply failure, fire, acts of terrorism, riots, essential maintenance operations, data hosting or Internet breakdowns or failures, restrictions imposed by administrative or judicial authorities, or cases of force majeure affecting any other service provider linked to the provision of the Services.
Bookings and payment methods:
Bookings for Services are only deemed effective when guaranteed by the Client, either upon providing their bank card number complete with expiry date, or by payment of a deposit, and following receipt of a booking confirmation email from the Hotel. Payment for all Services is to be made directly to the Hotel (with any deposit paid upon booking deducted from the total amount).
The Hotel reserves the right to refuse all bookings for which bank card numbers are incorrect, or for which bookings are incomplete.
Pre-approval: The Hotel reserves the right to run credit checks by pre-approving the Client’s credit card on the first night, to be cancelled on the day the Client checks out of the Hotel. Where applicable, this pre-approval process is explained to Clients in detail on the day they check in at the Hotel.
Online bookings with partner websites: for bookings made via our partners’ websites, cancellations must be made on these same websites. The applicable cancellation terms and conditions are those applied by the partner in question, and may differ from those applied by the Hotel.
Depending on the Services booked and booking method used, payment for Services is made in full or in part on the day of booking, in compliance with the payment terms and conditions shared with the Client prior to confirming their booking. Where applicable, the balance is payable on the day the Client checks in at the Hotel. Payments may be made by bank card, bank transfer, or cash (provided the total amount does not exceed 3,000 Euros).
Bank cards accepted: Eurocard – Mastercard – Visa – American Express – CUP – JCB.
Terms and conditions for amending and cancelling stays, excluding special offers and promotional deals
In accordance with Article L. 121-21-8 12 of the French Consumer Code, Clients are reminded that they are not entitled to the right to retract their booking as provided for under Article L. 121-21 of said Consumer Code.
The T&Cs of sale for the booked rate specify the process to be followed to cancel and/or amend a booking.
Terms and conditions of booking: 50% deposit for the total stay (bank card or bank transfer). Should the Hotel be forced to cancel for reasons other than cases of force majeure as defined under these T&Cs’ section on “Relocation”, Clients are entitled to compensation equal to double the deposit paid.
Terms and conditions for amendments to bookings: All requests to amend the Services booked must be made in writing (fax, email or letter) to the Hotel. Should no written acceptance of this be made by the Hotel within eight days of receipt of the request, the contract is considered to remain in force, in line with the terms and conditions set upon booking the Services.
Double and twin rooms are intended to sleep two adults. Should the number of guests effectively staying at the Hotel be greater than the number of guests stated by the Client upon booking the Services, the Hotel may allocate you a different category of room as soon as you arrive. In this case, add-on fees remain payable by you (with cots billed at €15 per night and extra guests billed at €35 each per night), and a new rate shall be applied based on the new room(s).
Terms and conditions for cancellations made by the Client: all cancellations made by the Client must be confirmed in writing (fax, letter, or email).
• When booked Services are cancelled before 3:00pm seven days prior to the Client checking in at the Hotel, deposits are refunded in full.
• When booked Services are cancelled after 3:00pm seven days or less prior to the Client checking in at the Hotel or in the event of a no-show, 100% of the stay remains payable by the Client (meaning an additional 50% of the stay is billed).
These terms and conditions for amending and cancelling stays do not apply when Clients book certain promotional offers.
No stay booked prior to a potential promotional offer going live is refundable, whether in part or in full.
Pets:
Subject to conditions, the Hotel accepts well-trained dogs exclusively in some bedrooms and with the Hotel’s prior approval. These conditions are that the dogs be kept on leads at all times across the estate, and for health and safety reasons, are not accepted around the swimming-pools and inside the spa (with the exception of guide dogs). If their dog is left alone in a bedroom, the Client is responsible for informing the Hotel of the fact to ensure Housekeeping staff are able to work in safety.
An additional fee of €25 per day and per pet applies. In the event of any damage, the Client shall be billed for the amount required for repairs.
Liability, theft, and damage:
The Hotel cannot be held responsible for theft, loss, or damage to Clients’ luggage or personal belongings left in the Hotel’s common areas, bedrooms, bedroom terraces, restaurants, lounge, swimming-pools, spa, or in a car parked in the Hotel’s carpark during their stay, or in any other part of the Hotel.
Clients are responsible for any destruction, damage, or act of vandalism that may occur as a result of them occupying the premises and/or caused by visitors and/or staff they are responsible for. This applies to furniture, furnishings, décor, and assets belonging to the Hotel or another party. Consequently, the Hotel therefore reserves the right to ask the Client to leave the establishment’s premises with no compensation or refund for their stay due, and to pay compensation for the damage caused by them.
Any missing equipment, any damage, and any mini bar goods consumed and not flagged upon check-out shall be billed without prior notification.
Disturbance:
Hotel rooms are places of rest. The Client accepts and undertakes to use their bedroom in a reasonable manner. Consequently, any behaviour that runs contrary to common decency and law and order shall result in the Hotel issuing the Client with a verbal request to cease the behaviour in question. Should the Client continue with this behaviour, the Hotel reserves the right to request that they leave the establishment with no compensation or payment due (even when payment has already been made), and to demand they pay damages and interest in compensation for the damage and disturbance caused.
Disputes:
Complaints must be sent by registered letter with proof of receipt to the Hotel no later than 30 days following check-out. Beyond this date, no complaints will be considered.
