Learn how to check in at a hotel in English and handle room problems with practical English conversation practice. Join us to confirm a reservation, ask for help at reception, and request a different room politely.
In this Riva English podcast, you'll hear realistic hotel conversations, learn useful phrases in context, and pause to practise your own replies. Build your English listening and speaking skills for situations you may face during a hotel stay.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL PRACTISE:
• Giving your name and confirming your booking dates
• Explaining a noisy room or something that isn't working
• Asking whether another room is available
• Checking the waiting time and price before accepting an offer
• Asking for help with a key card and checking whether breakfast is included
• Responding in your own words in a final hotel conversation
USEFUL HOTEL ENGLISH:
“I have a reservation.”
“Is another room available?”
“How long will it take?”
“That works for me.”
HOW TO PRACTISE:
Listen to the example, say your reply aloud, and pause whenever you need more time. Try again with different dates or a different room problem.
