Description of the Services

Yotel Services

YOTEL Services includes reservation services for rooms, cabins, pads, or other types of accommodation (“Rooms(s)”) operated under a YOTEL brand (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Hotels”) and any such services complementary and ancillary to such Rooms on its Site, as well as other facilities available at the Hotels.
The essential characteristics, availability dates, price, options offered, payment conditions and conditions of sale applicable to the selected rate (guarantee policies, cancellation conditions, check-in time, member rate conditions, etc.) of the offered Hotels are presented during the reservation process as described below.
In this respect, it is noted that each Hotel has its own special terms and conditions applicable to the selected rate also available on the Site (hereinafter, the “Special Conditions”) which are brought to the attention of the Guest prior to any reservation on the Site. For example, check-in and check-out times, guarantee policy, cancellation period, WiFi access, specific conditions applicable to children, and whether animals are allowed may be detailed in the Special Conditions. The Special Conditions may be updated from time to time on this Site or with respect to any Hotel and deemed to be included in the General Terms and Conditions are referred to herein. Certain Hotels also offer additional facilities that may be available to book separately.

Partner Services

YOTEL enters from time to time into partnership, distribution and reservation agreements with the Sites owned and operated by third parties (hereinafter, the “OTA(s)”), in order to allow the Guest to search for, select and reserve rooms, cabins or pads in the Hotels of the different brands distributed by YOTEL on the Site of such third party. For certain other facilities that may be available at specific Hotels, YOTEL may from time to time partner with other third parties to allow the Guest to search for, select and reserve additional facilities at the Hotels.
The terms and conditions of sale applicable to these OTAs are pursuant to the OTA’s conditions. YOTEL shall not liable or responsible for the statements or guarantees made by such parties.

Reservation of Yotel Services

Reservations may be made by the Guest on the Site or on that of an authorised OTA. The reservation process may vary based on the type of reservation needed. The Guest provides the initial search criteria and the results and selection of a Hotel and, if applicable, one or more other Services shall be provided on the Site. In some instances, the Guest shall have the option to pick certain details and characteristics of the Service(s) selected, length of stay, options offered (for example: breakfast, WiFi access, etc.), the total price of the reservation including details of the applicable taxes, facility fees, and any applicable Special Conditions (guarantee policies, cancellation policy, check-in time, etc.). Upon selection and confirmation of such reservations, the Guest shall receive a prompt for payment information, either in the event of the partial or total pre-payment of the reservation prior to the stay, or in the event of a request for a reservation guarantee for the Rooms and the review and acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions and the Special Conditions relating to the reservation prior to validation by the Guest. Upon payment or confirmation of reservation as applicable and acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions, the Guest will receive an email confirming the reservation of the Service(s) summarising the Service(s) reserved, the price(s), the Special Conditions accepted by the Guest, the date of the reservation made, access to the General Terms and Conditions and the address of the Hotel.
All reservations are considered made as soon as the Guest clicks the Complete Booking Button.
The Guest may make a reservation for Rooms on behalf of one or more additional person(s) up to a maximum of five (5) rooms, cabins or pads. Beyond this number, the reservation made by the Guest will be subject to the conditions applicable to groups. For reservations concerning business groups, meetings, seminars, etc., please complete the following form:

Reservation of Partner Services

Reservations made by the Guest through OTAs and third party suppliers are not available on www.YOTEL.com but instead directly through such OTA or third party. However, all Guests booking through an OTA or third party will still be required to accept these General Terms and Conditions and any relevant Special Terms and Conditions.

Price and payment

The prices related to the reservation of the Services are indicated before, during and after the reservation.
For Rooms and Services, the prices shown are per room for the number of people and date selected. When confirming the reservation of a Room, the total price is indicated includes estimated taxes and any facility fees that may be payable in connection with the reservation. The price of any reservation for a Room or Service is made provided for in the local currency of the Hotel unless otherwise selected by the Guest.
Unless otherwise stated on the Site, any optional services that are not offered during the reservation of the Service are not included in the price. For certain other facilities that may be available at specific Hotels, prices and payments will be stated and made separately.
The Hotel collects all taxes due (including any tourist tax, sales taxes, value added taxes, occupancy taxes) as applicable and remits them to the proper authorises as needed.
Any modification or introduction of any new taxes or surcharges imposed by any governmental authority will automatically be reflected in the price indicated on the billing date regardless if provided for in the reservation summary and confirmation.
Finally, some promotional offers are available only on the Site and sold exclusively on the internet, and in no case are available on site at the Hotel. A discount may be available with respect to any reservation of Service by creating an account for exclusive use by the Guest. Any such discount may vary from time to time at the discretion of YOTEL or the Hotel.

Payment

The Guest provides his/her payment information (i) to pre-pay the reservation before the stay, (ii) as a guarantee of the reservation, or (iii) as a result of the online check-out procedure proposed as part of the process described below when the credit card number, without spaces between the figures, its date of its expiration and the security code as part of a pre-payment on the payment platforms mentioned below.
YOTEL uses various suppliers to secure online payments by bank card. The credit card of the Guest is examined for its validity by these partners and can be refused for several reasons: card stolen or blocked, limit reached, input error, etc. In the event of any problem, the Guest will have to approach his/her bank and the Hotel or any other entity to confirm his/her reservation of the Service and payment method to the satisfaction of the Hotel.
The online payment methods (cards, wallet, etc.) available and mentioned on the payment page of the Site may be Visa and Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Discover and Union Pay cards. This list is subject to change from time to time without further notice.
In the event of payment to the Hotel or any other entity, each Hotel or any other entity may accept different means of payment, but the Guest must present the credit card to the Hotel that they used to guarantee the reservation or make the pre-payment. The Hotel may also ask the Guest to present an identification document for the purpose of credit card fraud prevention.
If the Guest has not pre-paid for his/her stay online, the Hotel may, upon arrival, ask the Guest for a deposit or a payment authorisation to debit the credit card to guarantee payment of the sums corresponding to the services consumed on the Site.
In the event of the Guest’s failure to show up on the first day of his/her reservation of a Room reservation (“no show”), the Guest’s reservation will be cancelled in full. The Guest is informed that in such a case, the Hotel will put his or her rooms, cabins or pads up for sale and if the reservation is non-cancellable / non-exchangeable / non-refundable, the Guest will not be entitled to any reimbursement or compensation. If the reservation is guaranteed by credit card or had been the subject of a bank payment pre-authorisation, the Hotel will charge the Guest the cost of the first night on the credit card that has been given as a guarantee for the reservation and any additional nights of the reservation will be cancelled free of charge, unless otherwise indicated in the Special Conditions.
At the time of pre-payment, the amount that is debited when reserving the Service includes the total amount indicated at the time of reservation (including all applicable taxes) and, if applicable, the price of the options selected by the Guest.
Any reservation or check-in deposits that are left unclaimed from one year from the anticipated date of reservation shall not be refundable and be considered abandoned, unless otherwise notified in writing by the applicable party. Yotel will not provide a separate written notice of unclaimed deposits. THIS SHALL NOT APPLY WHERE A DEPOSIT IS DEEMED “NON-REFUNDABLE” AS PART OF THE BOOKING PROCESS.

Checking In/Out

To facilitate and accelerate the arrival and/or departure of Guests from the Hotel, YOTEL has set up a procedure for digital check-in and/or check-out process on your mobile phone or at Self Service Stations at any local Hotel prior to the stay and upon check-out from such stay provided that his/her reservation is eligible for this service. You can download the app from your mobile App store.
Any online, Self Service Station or mobile based check-in and check-out shall result in a “pre-authorisation” or “hold” from any form of electronic payment as appropriate. Only the actual sum of the total amount due will be debited by the Hotel upon the departure of the Guest at the end of the stay, without requiring the physical presence of or new validation from said Guest.
“Mission Control” will be available for check-in, check-out and to address any other matters in connection with your reservation at the Hotel.
The sum of the payment authorisation request includes the sum of the reservation (or the amount remaining to be paid in the event of partial pre-payment when making the reservation) and a lump sum payment to cover any on-Site consumption or expenses of the Guest as applicable.
The payment authorisation request is not an immediate debit but corresponds to a reserve for future payment which temporarily reduces the limit of the bank card used to guarantee the possibility of the subsequent debit. In some cases, however, the payment authorisation request may appear as a pending debit on the bank account associated with the card used.
When the authorisation request has been activated and confirmed by the bank, at the end of the stay, the Hotel sends a debit request to the Guest's bank corresponding to the sum of the remaining amount of the invoice.
If the Guest wishes to prepay for the entire stay upon arrival, any additional expenses incurred at the Hotel cannot be added to the room account and will be paid directly to the hotel at the time of consumption.
If the reservation is cancelled after the payment authorisation request has been made, a request to cancel the payment authorisation request is automatically sent to the bank of the cardholder. In rare cases, this cancellation may appear as a refund in 5-10 business days.
Please note that the release of the pre-authorised payment amount (or refund) usually takes twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours, but it can take up to ten (10) business days or more depending on the cardholder’s bank.
In the event that the Guest does not make a guaranteed reservation but makes a payment authorisation request which is confirmed, then, by its nature, this reservation becomes a reservation guaranteed by the card used for the payment authorisation request.
In the event of a bank refusal of the payment authorisation request, or a technical interruption that did not allow the payment authorisation request to be performed, the reservation shall then be considered a non-guaranteed reservation.

Cancellation or modification of a Service reservation

For any reservation, the Special Conditions specify the conditions to cancel and/or modify the reservation. Pay Now Bookings will not be subject to any changes and/or cancellations. The deposit (money paid in advance) will not be reimbursed.
Cancellations for reservations for Rooms can be made directly on the Site or directly with the Hotel, whose contact information, including telephone number, is specified on the reservation confirmation e-mail.
Except as provided above and subject to applicable check-in and check-out times as established by the Hotel, the Guest will be charged for an additional night if the cancellation is not made within the General Terms and Conditions or Special Conditions.

The Guest is solely responsible for his/her choice of services on the Site and their suitability for his/her needs. YOTEL disclaims any liability connection with the Guest’s choices and confirmation of Services.
