Booking
- Any booking made or order placed by you shall be deemed to be an offer by you to purchase the relevant accommodation subject to these terms and conditions. No contract between you and YOTEL shall come into existence until YOTEL issues a booking reference number and confirmation by email or SMS and has received payment in full.
- Payment in full is required at the time of booking. Payment should be made by credit, debit or charge card. Additional charges may apply to certain types of payment including credit or charge cards. Payment for the cabin (s) will guarantee your booking unless exceptional circumstances apply.
- Your cabin is guaranteed for you and is available for you to check into from the booked arrival time. Your cabin must be vacated by your booked departure date and time. Failure to leave your cabin by this time will result in additional charges up to and including a full 24 hour rate. Note that YOTEL reserves the right to remove belongings from cabins after the expiry time of the cabin booking. Any items left in cabins or in the YOTEL demise may be treated as unattended baggage and disposed of by security.
- Your final account will be e-mailed to you. If you require a paper version you can print one on site at the hotel for a small charge.
- If you resell a room, you must inform the end customer(s) (i.e. the person(s) who will actually be staying in the room(s) booked) in writing prior to their check-in of the price at which you booked the room with YOTEL.
Cancellation/amendment
- You have the flexibility to amend or cancel your booking anytime up until 24 hours before your booked arrival time and your payment will be returned to you net of any card transaction fee you may have paid (72 hours in the case of multi cabin bookings). Within 24 hours (72 hours in the case of multi cabin bookings) of your booked arrival time there is no refund for your booking. Please note that your booking will not have been deemed cancelled or amended unless you have received confirmation.

Currency exchange is not available at any YOTEL site.
- No refunds will be paid in the event of flight delays or disruption due to security alert or other force majeure. There may be other emergency/security situations where customers may be asked to evacuate their cabins, if for example the terminal buildings are closed for any other reason and there is no access to the YOTEL site.
- Where a credit card provided for a transaction subsequently ceases to be valid and the customer requests a transaction on that card e.g. refund/change of duration then the costs of this, if any, will be charged to the customer. This shall include any bank charges in making transfers to a customer's bank or other account.
