Do not cancel the hotel reservation

The consulates are often required to confirm that you paid for, or at least to stay. Sometimes travelers book the room just to get a visa, and then reject it when they receive the passport with the required marks.

But if the hotel will inform the consulate of your cancellation, the visa may annul. In the opinion of travelers, this rarely happens, but it happens. And you'll know about it when it's too late to do something.
