HOTEL: Goof afternoon, Carlton Court Hotel. How can I help you?

GUEST: Good afternoon. I’m phoning to ask about the three suites you feature in your brochure – the Nelson, the Clive, and the Drake. I’m trying to decide which one would be... (suitable) for me. Are they all more or less the same?

HOTEL: No? They are all individually designed. I’ll start with the Nelson suite – it has a single bed, a sitting-room and an en-suite bathroom. It costs 65 ₤ per night, so it’s... (cheap) of the three suites, but of course it is also... (small) of the three because it’s for one person.

GUEST: How much... (big) are the other two?

HOTEL: About twice the size. The Clive is quite a lot... (spacious) than the Nelson, and has a double bed, en-suite bathroom, and small dining room. It’s a little … (expensive) and costs 85 ₤ per night per person, but that does include dinner for two. It’s the only suite on the top floor, so it has … (good) view of the city.

GUEST: And what is the Drake Suite like?

HOTEL: Well, it’s ₤ 105 per person per night including dinner, so it’s our … (expensive) suite, but it’s also our … (popular) one, and reservations need to be made well in advance. It is … (large) than either the Clive or the Nelson, and it’s … (quiet) than them because it’s at the back of the hotel.

GUEST: Thank you very much. I’ll be in touch again soon.

enquiries and reservations

As you know, the receptionist works in one of the front offices by the front hall or lobby of a hotel. Usually, all members of staff who work in these offices have direct personal or telephone contact with the guests. In a large hotel, the receptionist welcomes and registers the guests. What about in a small hotel? Here the work of the receptionist may also include the job of advance reservation clerk, inquiry clerk, and book-keeper.

The advance reservations clerk deals with reservations inquiries, of course, and with the booking and allocation of accommodation. A hotel receives reservation requests in different ways. For example, telephone bookings are the most common in many hotels. This is because these bookings are quick and it is possible to get full information from the customer. Hotels often ask people who make reservations by telephone to confirm their bookings in writing.

In many countries reservations by telegrams are less important than e-mail reservations. Why is this? Because the email is fast and the confirmation is made immediately.

Perhaps you have seen that the number of hotels now have computer terminals. These hotels can link their reservation system with other hotels in their group, with airline seat reservation systems and with terminals in the offices of important travel agents.

If a hotel is able to accept a booking, the reservations clerk must record it. The reservations clerk normally completes a reservation form and enters the information in a reservation diary.
