Do (you) have a room available?
Two useful words to know at this point are へや (heya) "room" and あき (aki) "available," literally "open." The receptionist may respond:
(We) have rooms available.
もうしわけ ございません が、 あきべや は ありません。
Mōshiwake gozaimasen ga, akibeya wa arimasen.
Sorry, (we) have no rooms available.
Mōshiwake gozaimasen ga, man'in desu.
I am sorry, (we) are booked out.
When asking for the price, the receptionist at the hotel will need to know for how many people and for how many nights you want the room.
You might answer :
The receptionist may also ask whether you want a single or a double room.
Your answer may look like this:
シングル / ひとり べや を にはく おねがいします
Shinguru / Hitori beya o nihaku onegaishimasu .
A single room for two nights,please
ダブル / ふたり べや を いっぱく おねがいします
Daburu / Futari beya o ippaku onegaishimasu.
A double room for one night, please.
When asking for the price simply say おいくら です か? (Oikura desu ka?) "How much is it?" and add the type of room and number of nights you want. For example:
シングル・ひとり べや で に はく おいくら です か?
Shinguru / hitori-beya de ni-haku wa oikura desu ka?
How much is it for a single room for two nights?
Some hotels charge per room, others per person. Here are some possible answers you might get to hear:
It is 3,000 yen per night.
It costs 2,000 yen per person
ダブル・ふたり べや は おひとり よんせん ごひゃく えん です。
Daburu / futari-beya wa ohitori yonsen gohyaku en desu.
A double room is 4,500 yen per person.
シングル・ひとり べや は いっぱく にせん ごひゃく えん です。
Shinguru / hitori beya wa ippaku nisen gohyaku en desu.
A single room is 2,500 yen per night.
That’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed it.
