Payment & Cancellation

Reservations

You must be over 18 years of age to make a reservation.

Rooms are allocated on a first come first serve basis, You will need to provide your credit or debit card details to secure your reservation. A booking is only confirmed once completed on our system and confirmed by The Royal Hotel in the form of an email. The contract between The Royal Hotel for the provision of your room and any additional services added to your reservation will be formed when you receive this email confirmation from The Royal Hotel.

We cannot guarantee that partner booking sites will not block a room prior to a booking being completed. We do not accept any responsibility for any errors or double bookings made by third party partner booking sites.

Group bookings are bookings of 4 or more rooms.

A group booking must pay the total outstanding room rate a minimum of 60 days in advance of the booking. Group bookings cannot be made through partner channels such as Booking.com or Expedia and must be made directly with The Royal Hotel.

All guests are required to pre-authorise a card with reception at check-in. A card pre-authorisation will “block” funds with your bank. A pre-authorisation of the full room rate plus additional security deposit of £100 per room will be requested. When checking out the pre-authorisation will be completed automatically, assuming the guest presents the same card for payment. The Royal Hotel will accept no liability for any loss incurred should funds be unavailable for any other banking purpose. The Roya Hotel is also unable to release funds or instruct your bank to release funds if a different card is used for final payment.
