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.

I usually don't make special requests, unless I'm on vacation. In that case, I ask for a room with a balcony.

The most important things I ask for are a non-smoking room and a good Wi-Fi connection. If I travel with family, I always ask for rooms next to each other.

What things do you ask for when you book a hotelUsually, I ask about the check-in and check-out times. I also ask whether the room includes breakfast, half board, or full board. I like to know if the hotel is close to downtown and whether there are any historical attractions nearby. If it is a resort, I ask about the available activities and the view from the room.

Dear Youth Hostel

I would like to reserve a single room for four nights with breakfast, from 16th to 20th  June. Could I have a quiet room with a view of the sea, if possible, please

I want to ask when breakfast begins. Hoping it will not be too late, because I have an early academic conference. Please could you tell me the accurate time?

I also want to know if I could leave my luggage after check-out until 3 P.M. 

With kind regards

I usually ask for all meals to be included, even for snacks. I am not a good cook. In addition to calm and silence to rest.
