When you book a standard flex rate, QHotels will ask you for a
credit/debit card number to secure your reservation only. No
payment will be taken from your card and you will pay for your room
on departure at the hotel. You can cancel your flex rate booking up
to 12 noon on the day of arrival without penalty. If you fail to
arrive or you cancel your reservation after 12 noon on the day of
arrival, you will be charged for your first night's
accommodation.

purchase saver rate: When you book a standard
advanced purchase rate, QHotels will take full prepayment from your
debit/credit card at the time of booking. The advanced purchase
saver rate is non-refundable and cannot be transferred to an
alternative date.
Promotional
offers, packages and spa breaks: When you book a
promotional package, including seasonal promotions, spa packages,
attraction breaks or romantic breaks, but excluding the Breakaway
Club membership packages, you will be asked for a non-refundable
