CANCELLATION POLICY
We require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice prior to the date of arrival for all cancellations or amendments to bookings made on the Fully Flexible Rate.
Non-refundable bookings have no option to cancel or receive a refund at a later date.
Bookings made via an online agent such as Booking.com, Expedia, or Ctrip must be canceled by the guest via this agent before U Suites is able to formally cancel the booking.
Please note that during Force Majure events such as COVID and during COVID alert levels our fully Flexible Cancellation Policy may be shortened to 6 pm on the day of arrival, which means you will be able to cancel without penalty until 6 pm of your check-in date. If canceled after 6 PM on the day of arrival, 100 % of the Entire Stay shall be charged. Please check this when making your booking online. Please note that this policy can change without notice.
OUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
We may cancel your reservation at any time with immediate effect by giving you written notice (which includes e-mail) if you do not pay us when you are required to do so or you breach the contract between us in any other material way. If we cancel your reservation where you are at fault, we reserve our legal rights in respect of your breach of contract.
We may also cancel your reservation if an event outside of our control (including industrial action, acts of terrorism, explosion, 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 such event 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.
