You will be asked to confirm your acceptance of these terms and conditions when you make a reservation.

3 Room prices
Falcon Hotel adopts dynamic pricing and the price of our rooms fluctuates based on demand. When you make a reservation request, we'll give you a total price for the rooms and number of nights you've requested. The price you pay is the price quoted to you at the time you make your reservation.
Room prices are per room, per night and are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate at the time of your reservation. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your reservation and the date of your stay, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the reservation in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

If you decide to shorten your stay you will be charged a cancellation charge equivalent to the remaining charge for your stay.
.

Invalid or declined cards for any reservation will be cancelled immediately upon discovery of such a case and your room will be released for sale.

• you do not pay us when you are required to do so; or
• you break the contract between us in any other material way.

‘Session’ cookies, which are used for various reasons, and expire after your visit, remember for example, certain information as you navigate from one page to another so you don’t have to keep entering it.
