Recognising the need for more flexibility, we have changed all of our room rate products to offer clear choices around cancelling or re-arranging bookings. All our rates, with the exception of non-flex, now offer the ability to amend on a like for like basis right up to 1pm on the day of planned arrival or to cancel within the terms and conditions of the specific room rate for a full refund.
If you need to amend or cancel an existing booking, the easiest and fastest way is to use our self-service tools to manage your booking. Easy-to-follow video guides are available on our contact us page.
Due to high demand, our customer call centre is currently very busy. If you have a question about an existing booking, we recommend reviewing our FAQs which includes links to the terms and conditions of our bookings on our rates page.
It’s really important to make sure you’re happy with the terms and conditions of the rate you choose before you book as we won’t be able to offer changes or refunds outside the amendment or cancellation window for the product you choose.
For the avoidance of doubt, as the situation evolves with any local/travel restrictions and government guidance, our rate conditions will still apply and we will not be offering refunds for cancellations which fall outside of the applicable t’s and c’s – there is however always the ability to amend your booking to a date within 18 months of your original booking on a like for like basis (please see the terms and conditions).
Please note, we will not be able to offer refunds for cancellations which fall outside of the terms and conditions applicable to your rate type, noting in particular the enhanced flexibility we have provided with our rates. This means unfortunately we will be unable to enter into any correspondence in this regard, regardless of the circumstance for cancellation.
However in the event the Government introduces stricter lockdown measures which makes it illegal for Premier Inn to permit you to stay at the hotel you’ve booked (for example we are only allowed to let key workers stay and you are not a key worker), we will consider refunds on a case-by-case basis. You remain responsible for your own compliance with law and you should ensure that you keep up to date with regulations and guidance applicable to you. Individual personal circumstances do not change the position under our terms and conditions, so when you book please ensure you choose the levels of flexibility which suit you. Where we cannot accept your booking due to legal requirements on us, we’ll need to contact you to cancel and refund or amend.
Premier Inn CleanProtect is our enhanced hotel cleaning promise. Designed to help our guests, and our teams, stay safe at this important time, it strengthens our existing rigorous regime by introducing additional hygiene and safety measures - from check-in to check-out.
Our teams have been working to ensure our German hotels are as safe as possible and remain so for the safety of our guests. We will continue to update you through the Premier Inn website and social media channels and will adjust our terms as the situation evolves.
