I remember when I first started traveling to Spanish speaking countries I was foolish enough to think that all the Spanish I needed to know for staying in a hotel was how to check in and check out. Silly me. I had learned a few expressions and set off to travel Mexico and Latin America without even realizing just how lacking my Spanish really was.
Well, it’s more like I didn’t think about the many different scenarios that occur in a hotel stay, and how none of the Spanish I needed to know was in my Spanish Phrasebook or textbook.
Several years and a few hotels later, I’ve built up a collection of phrases based on my hotel stays that I hope you’ll find useful as well.
I’m only going to post a few phrases here on the page (otherwise this post will be crazy long), but you can download the FREE PDF to get all of the Spanish Hotel phrases.
OK, let’s get to it.
¿Podría ocupar la habitación temprano? Could I check-in early?
This is a way of asking if you can occupy the room prior to the official check-in time.
¿Podría entregar la habitación un poquito más tarde? Could I check-out a little later?
¿A qué hora tengo que entregar la habitación? What time do I have to check-out?
Se me quedó la llave dentro de la habitación. I left my key in the room.
¿Podría guardarme el equipaje después de entregar la habitación? Could you hold my luggage after I check out?
¿Me trae unas toallas? Can you bring me some towels?
¿Podría enviarme una plancha y tabla de planchar? Can you send me an iron and ironing board?
¿La habitación tiene caja fuerte? Does the room have a safe?
El inodoro no baja. The toilet won’t flush.
Sólo necesito toallas. I just need towels.
Se me perdió la llave de mi habitación. I lost my room key.
¿El hotel tiene servicio de lavandería? Does the hotel have a laundry service?
¿Hay un lugar donde podamos dejar nuestro equipaje hasta la hora de registrarnos? Is there someplace we can leave our luggage until check-in?
¿Puede guardarme el equipaje después de entregar la habitación? Can you hold my luggage after I check out?
By the way, don’t forget to use please and thank you (gracias y de nada), and that’s it.
