Before you arrive

Booking your stay

General

Any request to book a stay at a Property via the App will only be confirmed once you receive a booking confirm from TOH. No booking is confirmed or otherwise binding upon TOH until a booking confirmation has been provided to you. Your booking confirmation will be provided via e-mail to the address you have provided to us. Once a booking confirmation is issued, you will have entered into a contract with TOH on the basis set out in these Terms. Once you receive your booking confirmation, please check the details carefully and let us know immediately if anything is incorrect. If you fail to notify us of an error, we cannot accept any liability arising from such error unless due to an act or omission of TOH. We will endeavour to correct any errors in your booking confirmation or invoice of which we are made aware within seven (7) days of being notified of the error or, if your arrival date is within 7 days of your booking being made, no later than 24 hours before your arrival date.

We may, at our sole discretion, elect to impose restrictions on any bookings you make with us (including, without limitation, a lower limit on the number of consecutive nights that may be booked). Where applicable, details of any relevant restrictions shall be provided at the time of booking. We reserve the right to refuse any booking at any time. In certain circumstances it may be necessary to move you to another Club Flat

The name, email address and contact telephone number of the lead Resident (being an individual staying overnight in one of our Properties) must be provided at the time of booking, along with confirmation of: (i) the number of other Residents in the party; and (ii) whether such Residents are adults or children.

The arrival and departure policy applicable to your stay will be provided at the time of booking and will be stated on the booking confirmation. Any request to check-in before the stated arrival time or check-out after the stated departure time may be accommodated, subject to availability and an additional charge.

Special Requests

We will endeavour to assist Residents with special requests or requirements that we are notified of at the time of booking, however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate them. For the avoidance of doubt, any bookings which are specified by you to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request will, on provision of a booking confirmation by us, be valid and binding, however we cannot guarantee that the request will be met; these Terms shall apply to all such bookings (including the cancellation thereof).

Group Bookings

Any bookings made in respect of four or more Club Flats at a Property (a “Group Booking“) may be subject to additional or different terms to those set out herein. Following our receipt of a request to make a Group Booking via the App, a member of our Group Reservations Team will get in touch to notify you of any such terms and, where possible, confirm the booking.

Business Bookings

If you are booking for, as, or on behalf of a business or business employee, that business shall indemnify us against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct or indirect consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other reasonable professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by us arising out of or in connection with your, or your business’, breach or negligent performance or non-performance of these Terms.

If you are booking for, as, or on behalf of a business or business employee, our total liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of your booking shall be limited to the fees paid to us under your booking.

Age Restrictions

In order to ensure the safety of all our Residents, save where agreed in advance and in writing by the relevant Property, bookings may not be accepted from any persons under the age of 18. We require that there is at least one Resident aged 18 or over residing in the same Club Flat, interconnecting room or cluster room with any person under the age of 18, unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Property. We reserve the right to require proof of age on arrival at a Property and, in circumstances where this cannot be presented, we further reserve the right to cancel the booking.

Pets

Pets are allowed in certain allocated Club Flats, providing notice is given prior to your arrival and a deposit is provided in respect of any costs we may incur as a result of additional cleaning that is required as a result of, or damage that is caused by, your pet(s).  We reserve the right to refuse entry to, or otherwise require the removal of any pet from the property at any time, at our sole discretion. No refunds or cancellations will be permitted following such refusal or removal of a pet, other than in accordance with these Terms.

You acknowledge and agree that Residents are responsible for the acts of their pets, and you agree to indemnify us in respect of any and all losses or damages we may suffer as a result of the actions of your pet(s).

Modifying your Booking

The cancellation and amendment terms that apply to your booking will be referenced in your booking confirmation. These Terms may, for specific types of bookings, prohibit cancellation and/or amendment, therefore please review these terms carefully. Where no such terms are specified, the terms set out below shall apply.

Cancelling Your Booking

Any booking that has been prepaid for or which is otherwise identified in your booking confirmation as being non-refundable cannot be cancelled, and no refund of your accommodation fee will be provided in any circumstances. Where your Rate Plan permits the cancellation of your booking, you must contact us (either via the App or via the contact details provided in your booking confirmation) and let us know that you wish to cancel your booking, in accordance with any timescales set out in the relevant Rate Plan.

If you fail to provide us with adequate notice of your cancellation, then, notwithstanding any right you have to cancel your booking in accordance with your Rate Plan, you will be charged a late cancellation fee. For further details, please refer to your Rate Plan.

Amendments To Your Booking

Any booking that has been prepaid for or which is otherwise identified in your booking confirmation as being non-refundable cannot be amended in any circumstances. Where your Rate Plan permits such amendments and you wish to amend your booking (for example, alter the dates of your stay or your selected Club Flat), please contact us (either via the App or via the contact details provided in your booking confirmation) in accordance with any timescales set out in the relevant Rate Plan. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your request and accept no responsibility for losses or expenses of any kind that you incur as a result of this.

Please note that, in certain circumstances, additional fees may be payable due to amendments being made to a booking and you will be notified of any such charges when requesting the amendment. We also reserve the right to charge an additional fee if any request to amend a booking is not provided in accordance with any timescales set out in the relevant Rate Plan.

If you wish to extend your stay, please give us as much notice of this as possible. All extensions are subject to availability. Where notice to extend a stay has been given, we reserve the right to take all additional payments and charges from the payment card used to make the original booking, or where a periodic payment schedule has been agreed, an invoice for the extended period will be sent to your billing address and payment must be made by return in accordance with the terms set out therein.

Changes Made By Us

We do not expect to have to make any changes to your booking, however, occasionally, we may need to cancel or change your booking or otherwise correct errors in the information that is provided, and we reserve the right to do so.  If this does happen, you will be notified and we will, where possible, offer you an alternative Club Flat in the same price band as the Club Flat you originally booked, in the same Property and during the same period.

If the alternative Club Flat is advertised at a lower price, you will receive a refund of the price difference. Where the Club Flat is in a higher price band, we reserve the right to charge you in respect of any price difference. Alternatively, we may, at our discretion, arrange for accommodation for you at another Property. In such circumstances, the maximum duration we will arrange alternative accommodation for the remaining duration of your booking or 30 days, whichever is shorter.

If you do not wish to accept a change we need to make to your booking, you may be entitled to cancel your booking and receive a refund, unless the need for the change results from an event beyond our control. You should tell us as soon as possible whether you are happy to accept a change to your booking, or otherwise confirm that you require a refund (where possible).

Paying for your stay

General

The payment terms applicable to your booking will be confirmed at the point that the booking is made and will vary depending upon the applicable Rate Plan and the route via which your reservation is made (i.e., via the App, our website (www.theotherhouse.com) or a third party). Other than in circumstances where: (i) we have entered into a credit facility with you which specifies an alternative payment arrangement and credit terms; or (ii) the relevant Rate Plan states otherwise, the terms set out below will apply.

At the time of booking a stay with us, payment in full is required. Unless anything to the contrary is stated in the Rate Plan, we reserve the right to cancel a booking if full payment for the booking, or any applicable cancellation and/or amendment fee relating to a booking, is not received by us at least 72 hours before midday on the date you or a designated Resident are scheduled to check-in. Any late payments will result in interest being charged on such outstanding amount at 4% above the Bank of England base rate per annum for the period concerned.

All payments should be made in British pound sterling, using a credit or debit card in the name of the Resident (or, where applicable, the organisation by which they are employed) and which matches any security checks we are required to carry out. Upon check-in, Residents may be required to show the credit/debit card used at the time of the booking and a valid photo ID. We do not accept company cheques unless previously agreed. Any credit card fees that you incur when paying for your booking shall not be refunded by us in any circumstances.

Where a set periodic payment schedule has been agreed upon, you agree to ensure adequate funds are available on the card you have provided us with the details of to enable payment to be taken at the relevant time. We will also accept a bank transfer and relevant details can be provided upon request. In the event that funds are applied to your Account such that your Account is in credit, we will contact you in order to notify you of this (such that the funds can be withdrawn by you). In the event that, despite our best endeavours to return the funds to you, your account remains in credit for a period in excess of one (1) year, the credit will be removed from your account (such that it is no longer accessible to you) and retained by TOH.

Pricing

The rates that we advertise in respect of our Properties are, to the best of our knowledge, correct at the date of publication, however, we reserve the right to change any rates from time to time, without notice. Prior to a booking being confirmed, rates quoted are based upon the rates prevailing at the time but are subject to change.  Once a booking has been confirmed, we will not change the rate quoted unless you amend the booking.

Pre-authorisations and Additional Charges

A credit card pre-authorisation or deposit will be taken at check-in. All Additional Charges (as defined below) incurred during your stay, must be settled upon check-out, when you will have the option to provide a different method of payment should you wish. Please let us know before you check out if you notice any abnormalities in any charges which have been assigned to your Club Flat.

Additional Charges include, but are not limited to, charges in respect of: (i) food and beverage orders billed to your Club Flat; (ii) any chargeable bookings made on your behalf; (iii) breakages, loss or damage to your Club Flat and/or any of its contents; (iv) additional cleaning that is required as a result of, for example, pets or where smoking has occurred in the Club Flat; (v) lost keys, fobs or access cards, where provided; (vi) storage of luggage; (vii) extra bed(s); and (viii) any other additional chargeable goods or services we provide or otherwise make available to you.

VAT and local taxes are payable on all Additional Charges and where the level of the Additional Charges is not specified in these conditions, we will charge you the actual cost together with any administration costs we incur. Prices for Additional Charges may change at any time.

Value Added Taxes (VAT)

VAT may be applied to the cost of your booking or it may be included in the rate advertised. This will be made clear to you at the time of booking.

VAT is charged at the rate in force on the earliest of the date of payment, the date of arrival or the date of invoice unless the VAT rate changes during your stay. If the VAT rate changes during the dates of your stay, VAT is charged at the prevailing rate in force on each day of your stay, in accordance with HMRC guidelines.

Please note that in certain circumstances, it may be necessary to change the day on which your Club Flat will be cleaned, and you will be notified of this where possible.

Maintenance

Routine maintenance of each Property is carried out regularly by our management team; however, occasionally we may need access to your Club Flat to carry out essential maintenance.  We will always endeavour to give you 24 hours’ notice of any essential maintenance we need to carry out, except in the event of an emergency, in which case we would require immediate access. In certain circumstances it may be necessary to move you to another Club Flat

Access is subject to the TOH Acceptable Use Policy, a copy of which is available here. Please be aware that at peak times, the bandwidth available for connection to the Internet may be under pressure due to the number of people connecting to the Internet, both internally and externally. TOH recommends that activities requiring increased bandwidth such as video conferencing and streaming is limited at these times.

Please refer to Section 2.3 of these Terms for further details.

Insurance

Whilst we endeavour to provide reasonable security and make safes available in all Club Flats, Club Flats are not designed as high-security areas for the safekeeping of expensive or precious items or large quantities of money. Please ensure that all items of value are always stored securely and not left unattended. To the extent permissible by law, we will not be liable for any loss of or damage to any property brought onto the Property.

Nature of Accommodation

All Club Flats are occupied under licence as serviced flats and are only to be used as temporary or holiday accommodation for you, or your organisation. They are not for use as the principal, additional home or residence of Residents; you will not be entitled to a tenancy or an assured shorthold or assured tenancy. No relationship between landlord and tenant is created, and no statutory security of tenure exists now or when the period of occupation ends. If you or any member of your party fails to vacate at the end of the period, you will be charged the appropriate accommodation charges for the continued period of occupation. No persons other than the Residents have the right to stay at the Club Flat.

  • These conditions constitute an excluded agreement under S(3A)(7)(a) of the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 (as amended) and cannot be construed as an assured tenancy under the Housing Act 1988 (as amended). We cannot guarantee an exact Club Flat number prior to arrival. The maximum Residents in a Club Flat is determined by the number of beds in the Club Flat. If the maximum number of Residents is exceeded, then we may refuse access to the accommodation and/or reserve the right to charge for additional Club Flats.

These terms may be subject to change at any time and without notice and your continued use of the App (and any booking made via the App) following any such change shall be deemed to constitute your acceptance of such change.

We are committed to providing quality accommodation and conduct regular audits to ensure that high standards are maintained in our Properties.  We also welcome feedback from our Residents and ask them to complete a Resident satisfaction survey on departure. We value this feedback, as it provides us with useful information on how we can improve our services further.

In the unlikely event we fall short of your expectations, we want to hear from you. You can contact us via our House Jacks in the Property, or by emailing us at hello@otherhouse.com. We aim to provide a response within five working days.
