- A
- Good evening. I've got a reservation under the name Okafor.
- B
- Good evening, and welcome. Could I see some ID, please?
- A
- Here you are. It's a double room for two nights.
- B
- Thanks. Hmm, I'm afraid I can only see one night here. Have you got your confirmation?
- A
- Yes, I've got the email on my phone. Look — Friday and Saturday.
- B
- You're right, sorry about that. I've changed it now. You're in room 104.
- A
- Thanks. Is it a quiet room? I'm a light sleeper.
- B
- It's next to the lift, actually. I can give you 310 on the top floor instead — it's much quieter.
- A
- That would be great. And what time is breakfast?
- B
- It's from seven till ten in the restaurant on the ground floor.
- A
- Oh, I'm leaving at six on Sunday. Is there anything you can do?
- B
- No problem — we can make you a packed breakfast. Just let us know the night before.
- A
- Perfect, thank you so much.
- B
- You're welcome. Here's your key card. The wifi password is on the back.
Reto extra para los más avanzados
The hotel is now full on Saturday because of the booking mistake: B has to apologise and offer a solution at a partner hotel nearby, while A negotiates for a taxi or a discount.
