Conversation 3: At the reception desk (3) |
Ursula Wagner |
Good morning. This is the Hotel Ambiente in Dresden. How may I help you? |
Detlef Grün |
Good morning. This is Herr Grün from the Köster & Hermann company in Chemnitz. I would like to book some rooms for some colleagues of mine. |
Ursula Wagner |
Yes, of course. How many people would that be? |
Detlef Grün |
Eleven people, so that would be eleven single rooms, and full board for everyone. |
Ursula Wagner |
And for which date would that be please? |
Detlef Grün |
For the 7th and 8th of October, so that's two nights in total. |
Ursula Wagner |
I'll just have a look... Yes, that would be possible. Do you have any special wishes? |
Detlef Grün |
Yes, we shall require two seminar rooms. |
Ursula Wagner |
No problem. Our guests have five air-conditioned conference rooms at their disposal with modern conference facilities. The conference charge is 25 euros per person. |
Detlef Grün |
Do all rooms have telephone and mini-bar? |
Ursula Wagner |
Yes, we have thirty stylish business rooms with separate sleeping, living and working areas. In all of our business rooms there is a direct-dial telephone, PC connection, fax connection, radio alarm clock, colour TV set, desk and mini-bar. Of course we also have a house bar with an open fire. |
Detlef Grün |
Is there a reduction for groups? |
Ursula Wagner |
Yes, for groups of eleven to fifteen people a business room only costs 95 euros per night. |
Detlef Grün |
Good. Could I also ask... Two of my colleagues are vegetarians... |
Ursula Wagner |
That's no problem. Our restaurant is also suitable for vegetarians. There is a vegetarian menu with international and regional specialities and your colleagues will certainly be well-treated. |
Detlef Grün |
That's fine. Where is the hotel? How far is it to the city centre? |
Ursula Wagner |
The hotel is situated in a quiet location near to the River Elbe in a district called Laubegast, which is about six kilometres from the city centre. There is a tram stop directly outside the hotel. The transport connections to all important motorways are excellent. |
Detlef Grün |
That's good to hear. And what leisure opportunities are there in the vicinity of the hotel? |
Ursula Wagner |
Quite a lot! The best thing would be if I sent you a brochure. Please give me the address of your company. |
Detlef Grün |
Köster & Hermann Ltd., Hauptstraße 57, 09117 Chemnitz. |
