1. Introduction

These are the terms and conditions that apply when you reserve a room at the hotel using one of our digital channels (such as our website, mobile site, or app).

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

We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time and you should therefore check these each time you make a reservation. The terms and conditions applicable to your reservation will be in place on the date that you make your reservation.

Additional terms will apply to your use of our digital channels whether or not you make a reservation through them. These are published on the relevant digital channel.

2. Reservations

To reserve your room please follow the instructions on the website, mobile site, or app (as applicable).

You must be at least 18 years old to make a reservation. Anyone staying at the hotel under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. We reserve the right to request valid photographic proof of identity on check-in.

You will need to provide your credit or debit card details to secure your reservation. The hotel accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Diners Club to secure a reservation.

Please check that the details of your reservation are complete and accurate before you confirm your reservation. We will not be liable for any delay or non performance if you provide us with incorrect information.

We will confirm our acceptance of your reservation by sending you an email to the contact email address that you provide during the reservation process. The contract between us for the provision of your room and any additional services added to your reservation will be formed when you receive this email confirmation from us.

If you think that there is a mistake in your reservation or if you require any changes to a confirmed reservation, please contact us to discuss. For more information on cancellation, please see Section 10 below.

3. Group reservations

For bookings of between 5-9 rooms, call our Central Reservations team on 0333 090 7865. Calls are charged at the national rate.

To make a booking of 10 rooms or more, email our dedicated Groups Desk at groups@aghotels.co.uk.

4. Room prices

The hotel adopts dynamic pricing, and the price of our rooms fluctuates based on demand. When you make a reservation request, we will give you the total price for the rooms and the number of nights you have 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 may adjust the rate of VAT but the price you pay will remain the same.

Meals, beverages, and alcohol along with any other extras are not included in the room price but you may be able to add them to your reservation during the booking process or they may be available to you during your stay. You may pay for breakfast and selected extras at the same time as paying for your room. If you have breakfast and selected extras as part of your reservation and the rate of VAT changes between the date of your reservation and the date of your stay, we may adjust the rate of VAT, but the price you pay will remain the same. All other meals and extras must be paid for separately.

Flex rate: If you book a Flex rate you may choose whether to pay for your room in full at the time of booking or to pay on arrival. Please see section 10 Cancellation for full-rate restrictions.

Advanced Purchase and Book Direct: Reservations are non-refundable, non-cancellable and non-amendable. Full payment will be taken at the time the booking is made.

The maximum room occupancy is two adults. Family rooms (where available) can accommodate two adults and two children (under the age of 12). You must not exceed the maximum occupancy for the room allocated to you. We reserve the right to conduct checks on occupancy. Occupancy is not transferable.
