Posting this while I am currently staying at Hôtel Park Lane Paris because management's refususal to resolve a deposit dispute in a clear, timely way.
I have written evidence from the hotel showing both the cancellation terms and the amount paid:
1) A booking email from the hotel dated 24/10/2023 states the room type as “Double (Wheelchair accessible)” and the cancellation policy as: “no fees if the booking is cancelled at the latest 48 hours prior to the date of arrival, otherwise 1 night will be charged.”
2) A proforma invoice from the hotel dated 24/10/2023 (Reference KS12EFKK) shows a total of €6,351.84 for the stay 24/07/2024–02/08/2024.
After the hotel received the funds, the booking was later treated as non-refundable. I did not agree to any change of terms after payment.
I returned to the hotel to resolve this in person, but I’m being told it is up to the owner, MR ROMAIN RENOIR, to decide, and there is a clear reluctance to provide a written decision or timeline. I fly back to South Africa this Friday, so continued delays are not acceptable.
I have asked for a written response by email and a clear deadline, but neither has been provided.
If the hotel honors the cancellation terms stated in their own email and reimburses the deposit appropriately, I will update or remove this review.
