Which Hotel to Stay At

Pavlov: Can you recommend a good hotel for me?

Mr. Hall: Why, yes. I think you can put up at the Bristol. It's a new modern and very comfortable hotel; telephone, hot and cold running water in every room; well-trained personnel.

Pavlov: Is it far from the centre of the city?

Mr. Hall: It's just minutes away from the centre. Very close to the shops, cinemas and parks.

Pavlov: It must be a rather expensive hotel, I think.

Mr. Hall: It isn't cheap, of course.

3. I'd Like a Single Room

Rogov: Good afternoon! I'd like a single room with bath for a week or so.

Reception Clerk: Very well, sir. Have you made reservations?

Rogov: In a way yes. I rang up my friend and he said he had booked accommodation with you.

Reception Clerk: Let me see. What is your name, please?

Rogov: My name is Rogov, Oleg Rogov.

Reception Clerk: I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch your name Would you mind spelling it or writing it down here in block letters?

Rogov: R-o-g-o-v, of Russia.

Reception Clerk: Thank you. Well, everything is all right. Will you register, please? Here is an arrival card.

4. Have You Filled In the Arrival Card?

Reception Clerk: Have you filled in your arrival card, Mr. Rogov?

Rogov: Oh yes, here you are.

Reception Clerk: May I have your passport, please? Thank you. We can give you a very good single room with bath overlooking the street. Will it suit you, sir?

Rogov: I think it will. By the way, what's the rate per night?

Reception Clerk: Bed and breakfast is three pounds fifty.

Rogov: I hope there is a telephone in the room, is there?

Reception Clerk: Yes, of course.

Unfortunately We Are Full

Mr. Phillips: Good morning. I'd like a double room with bath.

Reception Clerk: I'm very sorry, but we are full. With so many delegates arriving now to take part in the inter­national congress, accommodation must be scarce at any town hotel.

Mr. Phillips: What can you recommend?

Reception Clerk: Well, there is a small private guest-house just round the corner. You may try there. I'm very sorry, sir.

6. How Long Will You Stay?

Desk-Clerk: May I ask you, Mr. Pavlov, how many days you are planning to stay with us?

Pavlov: I expect to stay for at least a week, probably more, until the eighteenth of June.

Desk-Clerk: Very good, sir. Would you mind letting us know the day before you leave the hotel? We can then have your bill ready for you.

Pavlov: I'll let you know, to be sure.

Desk-Clerk (to the bell-boy): Please show Mr. Pavlov up to his room.
