Knowing how to speak English is very helpful, whether you are traveling to China, England, or Nicaragua. That is why today I am going to present some important conversations related to travel and checking-in and checking-out of a hotel or hostel. After a long trip you will want to be able to get to your room fast to sleep or relax. You don\u2019t want to have to worry about being understood or not knowing what to say. So study up now and learn how to check in for your next trip abroad \u2013 and you might as well learn how to check out while you are at it!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Checking in:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Check-in desk: Welcome.<\/p>\n<p>You: Hi. I have a reservation for _______________(your full name).<br \/>\nCheck-in desk: Wonderful, let me look up your reservation, may I see your ID please?<br \/>\nYou: Yes, of course. Here it is.<br \/>\nCheck-in desk: Thank you. I see you have a reservation for 3 nights. Is that right?<\/p>\n<p>You: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Check-in desk: We need to keep a credit card on file during your stay, what card would you like me to use for this?<br \/>\nYou: You can use my Visa, but can I pay for the room in cash when I check-out?<br \/>\nCheck-in desk: Yes, of course. We just need to keep a card on file while you are here. Okay. Here is your room key; your room number is written on the envelope. You have a single, queen-size bed in a non-smoking room.<\/p>\n<p>You: Thank you.<br \/>\nCheck-in desk: The elevator to your room is around the corner. If you have any questions once you are in your room, just give us a call here at the front desk by dialing 0. Enjoy your stay.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Another checking in conversation:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You: Hi. Do you have any rooms available tonight?<br \/>\nCheck-in: Welcome. Let me check our availability?<br \/>\nYou: I\u2019ll take anything that you have. I\u2019m exhausted and I just want to sleep.<br \/>\nCheck-in: You are in luck. We have one single room left.<\/p>\n<p>You: I\u2019ll take it.<\/p>\n<p>Check-in: It is on the 8<sup>th<\/sup> floor and has no windows. Do you still want it?<br \/>\nYou: Yes!<br \/>\nCheck-in: It is only free for two nights, then we are have it booked for someone else.<\/p>\n<p>You: That is fine. I just want it for one night.<br \/>\nCheck-in: Okay then; how will you be paying for the room?<br \/>\nYou: How much does it cost?<\/p>\n<p>Check-in: It is $40 for 1 night, plus taxes and fees.<\/p>\n<p>You: I\u2019ll use my credit card then. Do you take MasterCard?<\/p>\n<p>Check-in: Yes, of course.<\/p>\n<p>You: Here you go.<\/p>\n<p>Check-in: Thank you. Here is your key and here is your credit card back. You room is on the 8<sup>th<\/sup> floor to the left when you exit the elevator. Have a good night.<\/p>\n<p>You: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Checking out:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You: Hi, I\u2019d like to check out now. Here is the key to my room.<br \/>\nCheckout: Thank you. Let me just print you a receipt. Here you go!<br \/>\nYou: Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Checkout: Do you need a taxi or any help with your bags?<\/p>\n<p>You: No, I am fine, thank you.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Another checking out conversation:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You: I&#8217;m leaving now. Here is my key.<br \/>\nCheckout: Thank you; just one second and I&#8217;ll give you your receipt. Here you go.<br \/>\nYou: Thank you.<br \/>\nCheckout: Did you enjoy your stay?<br \/>\nYou: Yes, for the most part.<br \/>\nCheckout: I hope you will be back to visit us again soon.<br \/>\nYou: If I am in town again for business I\u2019ll be sure to come back. Could you call me a cab to take me to the airport?<br \/>\nCheckout: Yes, of course. If you step out the front doors there should be a cab waiting, but if not, the doorman will call one for you. Have a safe trip home.<br \/>\nYou: Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"263\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2014\/08\/Hotel-checkin-350x263.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image tmp-hide-img\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2014\/08\/Hotel-checkin-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2014\/08\/Hotel-checkin.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>If you have traveled just about anywhere in the world than you have probably learned that English is the language of travel!
