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.

When I book a hotel room, I usually ask if there is any promotion and try to get a discount. Usually I will ask what is included in the price, i.e. if the price includes breakfast, wifi or a mini-bar etc.
The last thing but not least, I will ask for the check-in and check-out times. Knowing the check-in and check-out times, I can plan for my itinerary easier!

First, I ask for a quiet ensuite room with breakfast included. Also, for services such as the internet. Finally, I ask the price and the cost of extra services.
