Subject: Booking 2 nights next week

Dear Ascot Hotel,

I would like to reserve an accessible single room for two nights with breakfast on the 22 and 23 of April. Could I have a quiet room with a view if possible, please?

I will arrive at about 10 p.m. and I have an early meeting the next morning, so please could you leave an iron and ironing board in the room?

I have a promotional code (MH2219). Please can you confirm that it is £80 per night with breakfast included?

Please could you confirm the booking? Let me know if you need any further information.

Many thanks.

With kind regards,

David Mathews

Tips

  1. When writing an email to a hotel, you can start with Hello or Dear (hotel name).
  2. Say clearly the dates you want, the room type and whether you want breakfast or not.
  3. Don't forget to mention any additional information or special requests.
  4. Ask them to confirm your booking. Give them your phone number if you prefer to be contacted that way.

Hahahaha, I have never been in a hotel room at the moment. I was in hostels and those are differents. If a book a hotel room I would like to know if it is in the city center because is easy for me to go anywhere, also I would like to ask What kind of breakfast they give and check in and check out time.

I usually ask for a room with the Sea view, king-size bed and a bath.

It depends on what kind of trip I am. If it is a bussiness trip I always ask for breakfast, an iron and wi-fi. If I book a hotel room for holiday I request for a room with a nice view and not next to the lift.

I have never written an email to the hotel because usually, I book a hotel room on the internet. Online we can find all information that we need, for example, how is the room, the differences services, cost, and more important the review of the other costumers. However, if I need more information I don't hesitate to contact the hotel.
