At the hotel.

 

When you are through with the customs you go to the hotel. The desk-clerk will ask you to register. He will give you an arrival card which all guests are asked to fill in. The receptionist enters your name, nationality, and permanent address in the register.

When you are through with the formalities, you will get the key to your room. The guests are reminded to leave their keys at the desk when going out.

You will find rooms with and without bath, single rooms, double rooms, triple rooms, cheap dormitory beds. At the hotel you may get various services. You can have your meals served in your room (it is room service that sees to it). All the hotels have a special laundry service for their guests. In the lobby there are a lot of offices: a booking-office, post and telegraph offices, an information desk. Besides there are a newsstand, a book-stall, a kiosk selling picture post cards and souvenirs.

In the same building there are also restaurants, bars, cafeterias, beauty parlours, gyms, indoor and outdoor swimming-pools.

Many hotels have such facilities as Internet access, baggage lockers, sauna, Satellite TV, Internet café and others. In top hotels all bedrooms are air conditioned with television and video-channel, hair-drier and minibar.

When you are ready to check out, you tell the desk-clerk to get your bill ready.
