At the hotel in Spanish

You're at a Spanish hotel reception in the evening. Listen to the receptionist (Javier), then choose how to reply — tap an answer to hear its pronunciation and see its translation, then confirm. What you pick changes what he says. Open “Vocabulary” for the words (or “Explore the scene”) and tap “🗣️ On the street” for the real language.

What you'll learn here

Key words

la llave la LLA-ve
the key
Often it's “la tarjeta” (keycard). “La habitación” = the room; “la planta” = the floor; “la planta baja” = the ground floor.
el documento (DNI) el do-cu-MEN-to
the ID document
In Spain the hotel MUST register your ID at check-in (by law). “El DNI” is the Spanish ID card; you give your passport. They give it right back.
la maleta la ma-LE-ta
the suitcase
“La consigna” = where you can leave bags before check-in or after check-out. “El equipaje” = the luggage.
el timbre el TIM-bre
the (reception) bell
If no one's there, ring “el timbre”. In small hotels reception closes at night (only big ones have “recepción 24h”).
el desayuno el de-sa-YU-no
breakfast
“Breakfast included” is common; typically a buffet or “tostada con tomate” + coffee. Usually 7:30–10:30.

How locals really say it

Not the textbook version — the real language you hear in Spanish.

“¡Buenas! Bienvenido, pasa.” — Hi! Welcome, come in.
“¿Has reservado?” — Have you booked?
“El pasaporte o el DNI, porfa.” — Passport or ID, please.
“Habitación doce, segunda planta. Desayuno incluido, ¿eh?” — Room twelve, second floor. Breakfast included, okay?
