Checking In to a Hotel (part 1 of 2)

Want to check in to a hotel in Italian without freezing up at the front desk? This quiz walks you through the first half of a real check-in, from your first hello to handing over your passport.

Build the Conversation One Line at a Time

Each line shows up as a jumble of words, and your job is to tap them into the right order, a little like piecing together a chat message. You greet the receptionist with Buonasera (good evening), let him know Ho una prenotazione (I have a reservation), and reply when he asks Come si chiama? (What is your name?).

From there you handle the details of your stay, including Per quante notti? (For how many nights?) and the polite request Posso vedere il suo passaporto? (May I see your passport?), which you answer with a quick Certo, eccolo (Of course, here it is).

Italian Hotel Phrases with Audio

Every line comes with Italian audio, so you can hear exactly how each phrase sounds and say it back with the right rhythm. It is a fast, engaging way to lock in the Italian hotel phrases you will actually use on a trip. Jump into part 1 to start checking in, then head to part 2 to finish getting settled.
