Your right to cancel
Flex rate room bookings may be cancelled before 1pm United Kingdom (UK) time on the arrival date. If you cancel your reservation before 1pm on the day of arrival and have paid for the room in advance by debit/credit card, a full refund will be processed to the same debit/credit card normally before 9am the next working day though it may take a few days for the funds to reach your account. A cancellation reference will be given and should be retained as proof of cancellation.
If you cancel a reservation after 1pm UK time on the day of arrival (including any "no show") and have not already paid for the room in advance you will be charged a cancellation charge equivalent to one night's total accommodation per room booked and for any meals and other extras booked for the first night of your stay (for example dinner, breakfast (the following morning) and Ultimate Wi-Fi (as applicable)). A cancellation reference will be given and should be retained as proof of cancellation. Such cancellation charge is to compensate the hotel for the late cancellation and is not for any service.
If you decide to shorten your stay you must inform reception at the Premier Inn hotel that you are staying in by 12 noon UK time on the day you wish to check out. Otherwise you will be charged a cancellation charge equivalent to one night’s total accommodation per room booked and for any meals and other extras booked for the following day. Such cancellation charge is to compensate the hotel for the late cancellation and is not for any service.
The first night of any booking made after 1pm UK time on the day of arrival and the cost of any meals and other extras booked for the following day is non-refundable in the event of a cancellation (including any "no show").
You can amend a booking up until 1pm UK time on the day of arrival provided that:
(i) The amended booking is on a like for like basis (same rate type, same hotel, same number of rooms and type of rooms, and the same stay duration);
(ii) The first night of the amended booking is to occur within 18 months of the date you were first due to arrive (subject to availability);
(iii) Any subsequent amendments to the date of your booking are again within 18 months of the arrival date of your original booking (for example, if the arrival date of your original booking was 1st July, irrespective of how many times you amend the booking the first night of your amended stay must always occur on or before 31st December;
(iv) If the total value of the new stay is less than the original booking pre-payment, any difference is forfeited;
(v) If the total value of the new stay is more than the original booking pre-payment, the remaining balance is payable and payment in full is required at the time of amendment.
Semi-Flex rate room bookings may be cancelled before midnight UK time three days prior to the arrival date, (e.g. For a stay arriving on Saturday, you can cancel until 11.59pm UK time on the Tuesday three days prior). If you cancel your reservation within the cancellation period, a full refund will usually be processed to the same debit/credit card the next working day, however it may take a few days for the funds to reach your account. A cancellation reference will be given and should be retained as proof of cancellation.
After the cancellation period, the whole reservation becomes fully non-refundable including any associated meals and/or additional extras. Such cancellation charge is to compensate the hotel for the late cancellation and is not for any service.
Bookings amended within 3 days of arrival are outside of the cancellation period and are fully non-refundable, and remain non-refundable despite any amendments to the booking (for example, irrespective of the amended date of stay no cancellation period applies).

(i) The amended booking is on a like for like basis (same rate type, same hotel, same number of rooms and type of rooms, and the same stay duration);
(ii) The first night of the amended booking is to occur within 18 months of the date you were first due to arrive (subject to availability);
(iii) Any subsequent amendments to the date of your booking are again within 18 months of the arrival date of your original booking (for example, if the arrival date of your original booking was 1st July, irrespective of how many times you amend the booking the first night of your amended stay must always occur on or before 31st December;

Non-Flex rate room bookings may not be cancelled and/or amended for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, the room(s), any associated meals and/or other additional extras cannot be cancelled, amended or refunded (including any “no shows”). Such cancellation charge is to compensate the hotel and is not for any service.
You may wish to take out room cancellation insurance in case you need to cancel your reservation.
You are not entitled to cancel or withdraw from your reservation under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
If you’ve made a group booking, our cancellation terms are as follows:
- For 14 rooms or fewer, we’ll need full payment 14 days before arrival. This is non-refundable, but you can cancel your booking free of charge if you do so before this time.
- For 15 rooms or more, we’ll need a 50% deposit 28 days before arrival and the balance 14 days before arrival. These payments are non-refundable, but you can cancel your booking free of charge if you do so before we take a deposit.
Where you cancel (including any “no show”) a group booking and there is a non-refundable payment retained by us, this total amount is a cancellation charge to compensate the hotel for the cancellation and is not for any service.
Our right to cancel
Your breach
We may cancel your reservation at any time with immediate effect by giving you written notice (which includes email) if:
- you do not pay us when you are required to do so; or
- you breach the contract between us in any way; or
- you have previously breached the contract between us in any way.
If we cancel your reservation where you are at fault, we reserve our legal rights in respect of your breach of contract. Where your stay had/has not yet commenced, the total payment made or to be made by you for such room shall be deemed a cancellation charge and is not for any service.
Events outside our control
We may also cancel your reservation if an event outside of our control (including industrial action, explosion, outbreak of disease, health and safety issues, fire, flooding, and failure of power and/or water supplies or emergency evacuation) means that we are unable to make your room available to you. In this case we will contact you to let you know as soon as possible and:
- if you have already paid for your room, we will refund your payment to you; or
- if you have not yet paid for your room, you will not have to make any payment to us.
Save as set out above, we will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations that is caused by an event outside of our control. This does not affect your statutory rights.
