PRICING AND ROOM RATES

It is clear that some clarification of our policy on pricing and room rates is needed.

Basic Rates

We have a basic rate for all room types. However, it is common for different rates to be charged. This is because the Sales and Marketing Department negotiates special rates for different agents, corporate clients, and other clients.

The Basic Rates are: Standard room – £80.00 (double), Luxury / Executive Plus – £115.00 (double), Suite – individually priced.

Standard discounts

Weekend rate (Fri / Sat or Sat / Sun): 15% discount;

Weekly rate: seven nights for the price of five.

Specially-negotiated rates

Most guests come as part of a tour, through a tour operator, or as a corporate guest. In this case a special rate will have been negotiated and will be on the computer for Reservations and the Front Officer to access.

Free Sale Agents

Free Sale Agents are sent availability charts every two weeks. They sell rooms at an agreed rate (usually the corporate rate). They don’t have to check with us, so administration costs are kept low.

Allocation Holders

Allocation Holders have a certain number of rooms which they agree to sell (usually at FIT rates). The customer pays them directly and they take commission and pass on what is left to the hotel.

For weekends they have the room on a 48-hour release (in other words the hotel can take them back by Thursday and resell).

If you have any more questions, please speak to the Reservations Manager or the Sales and Marketing Department.
