1. क्या कमरा उपलब्ध है?

   Kyaa kam-raa u-pal-abdh hai?

   Is a room available?

   Usage

   Use when checking if a room is available before checking in

   Grammar Note

   Yes/no questions start with "kya". "Khaali kamraa hai?" (Is there a vacant room?) is an equally common alternative.

2. एक रात का किराया कितना है?

   Ek raat kaa ki-raa-yaa kit-naa hai?

   How much is the rate for one night?

   Usage

   Standard phrase to check the room rate before checking in

   Grammar Note

   "Kaa" is like "of" in English. "Ek raat kaa" = "of one night". Use "do raat" for two nights.

3. चेक-इन करना है

   Check-in kar-naa hai

   I need to check in

   Usage

   When arriving at the hotel reception desk

   Grammar Note

   "Karna hai" expresses necessity. English words "check-in" and "check-out" are used as-is and are widely understood.

4. मेरे नाम पर बुकिंग है

   Me-re naam par bu-king hai

   I have a booking under my name

   Usage

   When checking in with a prior reservation

   Grammar Note

6. कमरे में AC है?

   Usage

   Air conditioning is crucial in India's heat. "AC" is used as an abbreviation, same as in English

7. गर्म पानी आता है?

   Garm paa-ni aa-taa hai?

   Is there hot water?

   Tau-li-yaa aur saa-bun dee-ji-e

   AC kaam na-hin kar ra-haa

   The air conditioning is not working

   Usage

   When reporting a faulty appliance to reception

    Kam-raa bad-al-naa hai

    I need to change rooms

    Usage

    When the room has issues or you want to upgrade

    Check-out kaa sa-may kab hai?
