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 guests passports are left behind at the desk-clerk for registration.

After all formalities are over the porter will show you up to your room. Now you will always be referred to as a guest if you decide to stay at a hotel. You will find notices everywhere, reminding "guests to leave their keys at the desk when going out".

If there is any post for you the desk-clerk will let you have it with your keys.

In the lobby you usually find a special corner or room to write letters. First-class hotels supply their guests with hotel stationary free of charge.

Most hotels have snack bars or restaurants.

Many hotels have special weekly and monthly rates, so that it is cheaper to pay by the month than by the day (transient rates).

You will find rooms with and without bath, single rooms, double rooms.

All the hotels have a special laundry service for their guests.
