预订酒店
中西文化
预订房间的方式有好几种:可以给旅馆发信预订,可以亲自到旅馆预订或给旅馆打电话预订。如果旅馆接受客人的预订,预订员会把有关情况记录在预订日志上。
在境外,特别是欧洲国家,订房基本都用信用卡担保。当然,如果在非旺季的时候酒店会给你最后取消的期限,在这个期限内取消订房是不会扣你钱的。

Morning Call电话叫醒
中西文化
外出旅行的人一般都是公务在身,因此早晨不能起晚了,以免耽误了工作。旅馆里一般都有叫醒服务,只要你给服务台打个电话,告诉她你的房间号和叫醒时间,你就可以安安稳稳地睡到天亮了。
wake up call可以指旅馆总机叫醒房客的电话,但也可以表示“让人醒悟的警讯”。例如,从不控制饮食的人偶然测了一次胆固醇数值,结果发现该数值正接近危险数值,那么医生可以对他说This is a wake up call for you. 意思就是“这是让你醒悟的警讯。”

Washing Clothes洗衣服
中西文化
如果你要送洗衣服,那么要把换洗的衣服放入衣柜内的洗衣袋中,并填写洗衣单,把单子也放入袋中,然后再打电话送洗。
你如果希望饭店送食物进客房,可要求“房间服务”,不过这比在餐厅吃要贵15%左右,而且小费要付现金,约20%。

Checking Out结账
中西文化
国内外宾馆对待延期结账做法不一。12点结账是国际惯例。超过中午12点结账,就要按第二天计费或加收房费,这是一直以来国内宾馆酒店业的惯用做法。对此做法,有消费者提意见认为,如果住宿不满24小时也要中午12点结账,并且按一天收费不公平。
不管怎样,很多人欢迎推迟结账的做法。12点结账确实给客人造成很多不便,因为午餐时间一般是11点半到12点半,结账时间正好卡在中间,这让很多客人无奈拎着行李就餐。即使有宾馆“体贴”地帮客人寄存行李,依然会带来不便。14时结账,就能让入住旅客从容就餐。
12点结账这个被普遍接受的惯例,实际上并非中国独有,国际上很多国家的宾馆都是如此。而且超过12点,一般会加收房费,除了个别宾馆会酌情通融一下。
在美国,位于纽约时代广场附近的威斯汀酒店、威灵顿酒店,以及不远处的巴克莱洲际酒店,其入住时间均为下午3点,而结账时间则无一例外为中午12点。中间的空档期则是打扫、整理房间的时间。从一个曾在美国住过宾馆的朋友那里了解到,如果12点不退房,一般要另交半天房费。不过,《纽约时报》曾报道,像瑞富连锁酒店等少数宾馆实行“24小时结账制”,只要客人使用房间没有超过24小时,就只收取一天的房费。另外使用信用卡的人应该查询一下附带服务,因为持有某些信用卡住宿指定酒店,持卡人可以享受1到4小时不等的免费延迟退房服务。
在英国伦敦,惯例是下午2点入住,中午12点结账,入住时间略微提前,但结账时间依然是雷打不动的12点。3个著名酒店均是如此,其中有位于伦敦的肯圣顿广场假日饭店和索非特圣詹姆士酒店。如果12点不退房,则需适当缴费,伦敦斯马特卡姆登旅馆的规定是,延迟退房需多缴10英镑,大约相当于半天房费。
