HOTELS

When traveling people almost always stay at hotels. It is advisable therefore, to remember the following:

The first thing to do is to book a room in advance either by letter, telephone or telegram. Otherwise you may arrive at the hotel and be told that there are no rooms.

On arrival at the hotel go to the reception desk in the lobby and confirm your reservation. The clerc will then give you a registration form to fill in and sign (the form to filled in block letters). In smaller hotels you simply sign the visitor's book and give your permanent address.

After all formalities are over we are given the key to our room. The guests are supposed to leave their keys at the desk when going out. The keys are hung on a special key - rack... 

In the lobby you will usually find a newspaper stall (news stand) and stalls where cigarettes, sweets and souvenirs are sold. First class hotels supply their guests with stationary free of charge. Most hotels have snack bars and restaurants.

At large hotels you may ask for any service by telephone. You tell the operator if you wish to be called at a certain time you call room service when you want a meal or drinks sent up to your room, valet or maid service if you need something (a suit or areas) cleaned or pressed.

The desk-clerk is a source of information. He will give you all the information you need: when the football match begins, when trains depart. He will also order your railway tickets. All the hotels run a special service for their guests. There are barber and hairdresser's shops in all hotels. You will find rooms with or without a bath, single rooms, double rooms and suites.

Let the hotel management know well in advance the day and time of you departure.

A VISIT TO A HOTEL

We stayed at the Carlton Hotel for three nights in July, but I booked our room three month in advance because it was the middle of the tourist season. When we arrived we checked in at reception, then the porter carried our suitcases up to our room. I gave him a small tip – about 50 p, I think. The staff were very friendly – we had a very nice chambermaid – and the room was very comfortable. The only problem we had, in fact, was with the shower which didn’t work very well.
