Terms and Conditions

Conditions of Sale

All customers booking and paying for CSA Melbourne accommodation are entering into an agreement with the Company.

All reservations made via CSA Melbourne’s Website, third part websites, telephone, email or in person are made subject to these terms and conditions of sale and the person making the reservation will be deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions on behalf of all persons who will be staying at the CSA Melbourne under the reservation (once the reservation is accepted and confirmed by CSA Melbourne).

Booking Policy

A valid credit card is required at the time of the booking. The person making the booking must be 18 years old or over. Visa, MasterCard, and American Express surcharge is at 1.8 %. The credit card and the ID of the person making the booking must be presented at the time of check in/arrival for scanning to reservation file.

Where the guests are arriving after hours OR using a credit card with a different name to pay for booking, we require a copy of the person's ID and the front and back of the credit card must be emailed to [email protected] AT LEAST 24 hours before check in/arrival, before we will confirm your booking and provide the late arrival procedure and codes for entry.

After Check In: **Please note we do require a 24-hour notice if you wish to check out earlier than the original date otherwise, we are at liberty to charge for the nights’ accommodation. **

Photographic Identification and other information on check-in

When you check-in at CSA Melbourne, you may be asked to provide photographic or other personal identification as well as other information which CSA Melbourne is required to request by law or under mandatory or other government declarations or orders, including in relation to public health.

If you are unable to provide such identification or information, your reservation may be cancelled, and you may be liable to pay us an amount equal to the full reservation amount plus any other costs incurred by us in connection with your reservation. Any pre-payment made in relation to the reservation will be forfeited in these circumstances.

Bookings and Payment Guarantee Policy

Bookings at CSA Melbourne are subject to availability and applicable pricing and terms and conditions at the CSA Melbourne at the time of booking and your stay.

Payment for bookings must be guaranteed with a valid credit card at the time of making a reservation via CSA Melbourne website as well as on check-in to CSA Melbourne.

Payments

A valid credit card MUST be presented on check-in to any CSA Melbourne property.

Payments may be made by credit card or by cash or EFTPOS at the relevant CSA Melbourne property.

CSA Melbourne may send you a Payment Link which enables you to securely enter credit card details for payment. The amount shown in the Payment Link may not include any additional fees or non-room charges that you may incur during your stay in addition to the contracted room rate plus applicable taxes unless otherwise indicated in your reservation confirmation. We may cancel your reservation if invalid credit card information is provided or if your credit card is declined. We reserve the right to cancel or modify reservations where it appears that a customer has engaged in fraudulent or inappropriate activity or under other circumstances where it appears that the reservations contain or resulted from a mistake or error.

If you are settling your account by credit card at CSA Melbourne, please note that for Visa Card, Mastercard, American Express and China UnionPay, a 1.8% credit card transaction fee will apply. You may choose to change the method of payment on check-out to cash or EFTPOS, as these methods of payment do not attract this fee.

You agree to pay interim accounts when presented even though you may not have departed from our hotel.

You agree that any charges for services provided to you that are not billed at the time of your departure, may be added to your account for settlement as arranged or may be charged to the same credit card used to pay the account at the time of departure or to the credit card used to guarantee payment of your account.

Upon arrival at CSA Melbourne, guests must provide valid Federal, State or Territory or other government issued photographic identification for security purposes. In addition, the guest must also provide a credit card in the same name as the photographic ID to secure the accommodation. A credit card pre-authorisation of up to AUD200 may be required to cover incidental items including (but not limited to): breakages/damages, excessive cleaning charges above the normal level of cleaning due to the room being left in an unacceptable state, etc.

Any pre-authorised amount is set aside by the credit card merchant for a period of up to 10 business days (release times may vary, please check with the issuing financial institution). The pre-authorisation will affect your available funds balance or spending limit. For more information on this practice, we suggest the cardholder contact their credit card issuer. Once a pre-authorisation has been made, we cannot release, remove, or lower the authorised amount, until we process the final account on departure. This is a restriction placed on us by financial institutions and cannot be negotiated.

CSA Melbourne reserve the right to pre-authorise all credit cards upon arrival. Please note this process validates the presented credit card and protects both the cardholder and credit card merchant from increasing fraud incidents. Cash is not an acceptable form of bond when staying with CSA Melbourne and a valid credit card will need to be presented on arrival.

Cancellations after this time or any no-show for a reservation are subject to a cancellation fee which will be charged to the credit card used to guarantee payment of your account. The cancellation fee is equal to the accommodation fee payable for 1 night of stay. A no-show is when you do not check-in on the night of your booking reservation.
