Your booking confirmation will include the hotel's cancellation policy.
The cancellation notice is 48 hours before arrival i.e. You have to inform us of any cancellation 48 hours before the arrival date. If the cancellation is made after this time, we may charge your credit card for the first night's accommodation.
In this case a non-arrival fee will be charged against your credit card, normally equal to the cost of the first nights accommodation.
This refers to the time limit in advance of arrival, before which you are entitled to cancel your booking without incurring a charge. In other words the hotel has a cancellation policy of 48 hours prior to arrival. If and cancel prior to this time, then you will not incur a charge. However if you cancel less than 48 hours prior to arrival, then a charge will be incurred. This charge will normally be equal to the first nights accommodation.
