* AT A HOTEL

- When you arrived at a hotel, you go first to the reception desk. It is advisable to make a reservation in advance. If the reservation has not been done, there are two possibilities: either the hotel has no vacancy and you must try your luck at another one, or you can get a room without a reservation.
- If you can stay, the receptionist writes your name down in his register, you give the length of your stay and sign the guest book, get your key and go up to your room.

- It’s usually a single or a double room, with a bath or with a shower. In very good hotels you can find a colour TV in every room, a private car-park, 24-hour room service, a night club.
- When you go out, you’ll leave your key with the reception clerk. On moving out of the hotel you ask for the bill, pay and check out. If the service was good and efficient, you’ll give the reception clerk a tip.
