At the Hotel

While travelling it is better to reserve rooms in advance. As soon as you are through the customs you take a taxi to a hotel. When the taxi rolls up to the curb the doorman will open the door of the taxi and remove your luggage. In many hotels the doorman calls one of the porters who takes your luggage and shows you the way to the desk-clerk. The desk-clerk will ask you to register, he will hand you an arrival card to fill it in. After all formalities are over the porter will show you up to your room. He unlocks the door and turns on the light. If you require nothing else the porter is dismissed with a tip.

When going out you are asked to leave your keys at the desk. All the keys are hung on a special key-rack. Whenever you ask for your key, the desk-clerk looks into the pigeon-hole under your number for post. If there is any post he will let you have it with your key.

In the lobby you will usually find a newspaper-stall and stalls where cigarettes, sweets and souvenirs are sold. You can also find a special corner or room to write letters. First-class hotels supply their guests with hotel stationary free of charge. Many hotels have special weekly and monthly rates, so it is cheaply to pay by the week or by the month than by the day. You will find rooms with or without baths, single rooms, double rooms and suites consisting of 2 or more rooms. Guests are asked to warn the clerk in advance when checking out, so that he can have the bill ready for them in time.
