If a rate requires payment to be made on arrival at or departure from the Hotel and the Customer's currency is different from the Hotel's, the payment debited by the Hotel may be different from the price stated at the time of booking, due to possible changes in the exchange rate between the date of booking and the dates of stay at the Hotel.

Customers must enter the credit or debit card number (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club, etc.) directly in the area provided for the purpose (input secured by SSL encryption), without any spaces between the digits, as well as the card's expiry date, to guarantee their booking.

If a booking is made without online prepayment, the Hotel may ask Customers on arrival for a margin deposit or for permission to debit their credit card in order to guarantee payment of any additional services requested by the Customer in situ.
In the event of a no show (a booking not cancelled – a customer who does not show) for a booking payment guaranteed by a bank card, the Hotel will use the bank card, the details of which are provided by the Customer to guarantee the booking, to charge the Customer for the first night, barring special cancellation terms specified in the booking confirmation.
If a Customer books several rooms but prepayment is only required for one of them, the payment card used to make the booking will serve as guarantee for payment of the other rooms and/or supplements. When a prepayment is made, the amount debited from the Customer includes: the price of the accommodation, the related taxes, the price of the catering if breakfast is included, as well as the taxes relating to the catering and any other additional services selected by the Customer.
For a booking requiring online prepayment, the sums paid constitute part payment, are debited at the time of booking and are retained by the Hotel.
