Please speak English at the hotel front desk

The hotel's front desk/front desk handles room reservations, accommodation registration, inquiries, and valuables storage for guests. The English conversation used is basically business English, so you need to pay attention to the corresponding politeness and etiquette. For example: when asking for a guest’s name, it is best not to use the “What’s your name?” method. It is better to use a more formal method such as “May I have your name?”

When receiving guests, the four commonly used question expressions are:

1. May I…
