Conversation in a hotel
Dialog
A: Good morning. Midland Hotel.
B: Good morning. This is Jane Stevens from Dixia. I’m trying to arrange accommodation for a number of visiting businessmen from abroad and I’d like to know a little about the facilities that your hotel has to offer.
A: Well, the Midland is a 3-star hotel and we are situated five minutes from center of the town.
B: Uh-huh. And are you on the main road?
A: No, we’re on side street, and all the rooms are very quiet.
B: And what about a restaurant?
A: Well, we find that most of our clients prefer to eat out, and as there are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, we have only a small restaurant – but we do serve hot food in the evening.
B: I see.
A: Of course we do have a bar – which has a very intimate atmosphere.
B: And what about entertainment at the hotel? Do you put on any dances?
A: No, I’m afraid we don’t.
B: And just a couple of final questions. Do you have either a swimming pool or a sauna?
A: No, not in the hotel, but there’s a pool with a sauna just round the corner.
B: Well, thanks very much for the information. Bye.
Dialog
A: Kings Hotel.
• B: Good afternoon. My name is Jane Stevens from Daxia. I’m just arranging accommodation for a number of foreign businessmen who are coming here next month. I wonder if you could tell me what facilities your hotel has to offer.
• A: Yes, certainly. Well, as you probably know, we are not in town. In fact it’s eight miles from the hotel to town. The hotel is set in its own grounds and the surrounding countryside is very beautiful and very peaceful. So your guests would certainly be assured of a quiet and restful stay
• B: And how about a restaurant?
• A: Yes, we have a large restaurant which caters both for residents and non-residents. It tends to be quite full around this time of year, but residents, of course, get priority.
• B: Uh-huh.
• A: We also have two bars – one of which is exclusively for residents.
• B: How about evening entertainment? Any dances?
• A: No, I’m afraid we don’t hold them any more. We used to, but now people prefer to go into town for a night out.
• B: I see. And what about a swimming pool or a sauna?
• A: Yes, we’ve recently had a sauna installed and it is extremely popular with our guests.
• B: And a swimming pool?
• A: No, not yet, unfortunately.
• B: Well, thanks very much for the information. Bye.
• A: Bye.
Dialog
A: Morning. General Hotel.
• B: Good morning. This is Jane Stevens from Daxia. I’d like to find out a little about the facilities offered by your hotel.
• A: One moment, please. I’ll just put you onto booking inquiries.
• B: Booking inquiries.
• A: Good morning. My name is Jane Stevens from Daxia. Could you tell me a little about the facilities offered by your hotel?
• A: Yes, certainly. The General is right in the middle of the town, next to the railway station, and is very convenient for people arriving or leaving by train.
• B: Does that mean that the hotel is quite noisy?
• C: Well, I wouldn’t say that we are exactly a country hotel. Yes, I suppose it is quite noisy.
• B: How about restaurant facilities?
• C: No, I’m afraid we haven’t got a restaurant here. Of course there are plenty in the vicinity. All we have is a snack-bar which serves light refreshments.
• B: Do you have a bar?
• C: Yes, we do.
• B: And what about evening entertainment?
• C: Well, we have a dance in the bar every Saturday evening. And that’s open to both residents and non-residents.
• B: Uh-huh. Anything else in the way of facilities?
• C: Yes, we also have a sauna – that’s only for residents.
• B: Uh-huh. Anything else in the way of facilities?
• C: Yes, we also have a sauna – that’s only for residents. And next year we shall have our own swimming pool.
B: Well, thanks for the information. Bye.
