Yes, but your room will then only be kept available for you until 6 pm on the day of arrival. If you book without a credit card, room reservations cannot be guaranteed if you arrive after 6 pm. Do you already know that you won’t be arriving until after 6 pm? Then it is best to provide your credit card details when you make your booking.
