Learn Spanish for Hotel Check-In

About this episode

Your reservation exists. You confirmed it twice. Then the receptionist frowns and says “no tenemos ninguna reserva a ese nombre.” That happened to Maria in Cartagena after two flights and no sleep — and the only way through was Spanish. This episode teaches the hotel vocabulary you’ll actually use, whether check-in goes smoothly or completely sideways: la recepción and el lobby, “tengo una reserva a nombre de…”, disponible vs. completo, asking for el gerente and a habitación con vista al mar, las llaves and the ascensor al fondo a la derecha, and catching el desayuno incluido so you save money every morning. Real story, real vocabulary — from the check-in that almost turned her away to the suite on the 12th floor she ended up with.

The full illustrated comic, study guide, transcript, audio & vocab are in the pack.
