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

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

If I am booking for a hotel a I ask for an intern access

When I book a Hotel room, I always ask if they have Wifi connection, I ask about the room´s price, therefore if the hotel has baggage service, and obviusly if the room has a nice wiew. I ussually ask to the service room if they clean the room, when they do a great clean room, they receive a big tip.

Paco Where do you booked an hotel? I always like to have a nice hotel but then I reserve a horrible hotel, with no internet, no service and to expensive, I want I nice hotel can you tell where can I look?

What is the difference between can and could? Till now, i thought could is the past tense of can.

Hello Vidyasagar,

For some uses, could does function as the past form of can, but it also functions as a modal verb in its own right. Happily, we have a page on the difference between can and could. You can find it here:

That page is part of a larger section on modal verbs which you might also find helpful:

Most of the time I travel with my family. First of all, I ask for bedroom type. After that, I ask them do they have complimentary breakfast. Sometimes I need other information like wifi availability, mineral water, etc.

I usually travell whit my mum and my sister and, when i book a room i usually ask for a triple room, so. It is not necessary that the room is big because we only use it for sleeping. for us it is necessary the wi-fi connection and an ensuite room.

I usually travel with my family and need to reserve a suite room. Wifi connection is necessary for me and I prefer a room in higher floor with viewing.

my family is big so normally we ask for two rooms the last time we went to travel was amazonas to be honest,it is something beatifull because you can live the experience with the moder nature.

I really rarely reserve a hotel room. I prefer room in private house or free hut. However when I book a hotel room or another room, I usually ask about the accessible and price, next promotional code. I sometime need any further intormation like breakfast included or en suite room.

Well, I think that hotels should give you the price options and offer you when the best days may be for a good and cheaper promotion. And now with technology now everything is easier to book in a hotel.

I usually ask about the price and available, further I ask about promotional code

hello When I'm on a trip, I usually book a double room or a suite room becuse I often travel with my family. First of alI I ask about price and breakfast icluded. After then I ask for quiet room and wifi internet.

Before booking any hotel, cleaning of rooms is important for me. after that, if I want to reserve a room some follow parameters have the most important for me: 1. nice view, 2. silence 3. location of the room in the lower floor 4. Wifi

Do you believe that I've never ask for something when I book a room. I looked through the pages of hetel rooms on BOOKING and just booked it if the price was acceptable. At last I was not very satisfied with the room when I arrived at the hotel because some circumstances were not be mentioned on the webpage. Now I know why.

so when i need to reserve a single room or a double room in a hostel, or hotel, i observ it, if it has a good internet connection, several tv channels, air conditioning and if the bathroons are regularly neat! this is the basic for me!

The thing that I ask when I book a hotel room is confirmation whether the specific room I request is available on the specific date that I mention, my special request can be fullfiled, the promotion still valid, and my payment method is accepted. I should also ask special rule and service in the hotel. The special rule and service usually written in a booklet or paper in the hotel room. I should also ask hotel terms, time, and payment to use hotel facilities such as breakfast/dinner in the room/restaurant, swimming pool, gym, and others.

When I book a hotel room, I ask for a room located on the high floor, with a bath and a good wiew.

well, I will ask for a good WiFi connection and a neat bathroom. I appreciate good service from them.

I usually travel with my girlfriend so I always ask for double rooms with two separate blankets. I also ask for Wi-Fi, a private bathroom and whether they have a free car park at the hotel.

When I book a hotel room, I ask for information about the price, breakfast and what kind of accessories I can find in my future room. I also ask for information about laser areas in the Hotel.

I ask for a quiet room, available wifi and good view.

I ask for a quiet room with a good view.

Honestly, I seldom book a hotel room. I remembered the first time I reserve a room in the hotel. I ask the room is available or not, how is the view of room, how much for a day.

If i book a room i want clean room with a wonderful view and i need quiet room it's very important.

I want to have a peaceful place in good view and good service

For me, view is very important. A beautiful view can relax my mind and enjoy my stay. A room with good air conditioning is also important. However, I like the natural ventilation very much. If they can provide that I will be so happy.

When I book a hotel room,I ask for room with good view.

I want to good view and clean room. also at least get breakfast in the hotel.

When I book a hotel room, I ask if it have restaurant and pool. Sometimes, I ask for room with air conditioning, but it depends on city where I travel.

I ask for a clean room, wifi, an iron and a good view.

When I book a hotel room, I ask for en suite room. I would like an air-conditional, hot water in the bathroom, especially wifi and a view if any. I might don’t need refridge, safety box, television o.r bath tub

I would like to ask for bathtub when booking a room. Taking a hot bath after a long trip or a business travel can release the stress very well. Furthermore, floor to ceiling window with a good view is very important for me. A large window can brighten the whole room, which makes people more energetic and active, and it is very pleasant that the beautiful scenes comes into view when you look out from the window.
