Requesting a Room Change

Asking to switch to a different room.

You
Buenas noches, quisiera pedir un cambio de habitación, por favor.
BWEH-nahs NOH-chehs kee-see-EH-rah peh-DEER oon KAHM-bee-oh deh ah-bee-tah-see-OHN pohr fah-BOHR
Good evening, I'd like to request a room change, please.
"Quisiera" is the polite conditional form of "querer" — more courteous than "quiero" (I want).
Receptionist
Por supuesto. ¿Cuál es el problema con su habitación actual?
pohr soo-PWEHS-toh kwahl ehs ehl proh-BLEH-mah kohn soo ah-bee-tah-see-OHN ahk-too-AHL
Of course. What is the problem with your current room?
You
Hay mucho ruido de la calle. ¿Tendrían una habitación más tranquila?
eye MOO-choh RRWEE-doh deh lah KAH-yeh tehn-DREE-ahn OO-nah ah-bee-tah-see-OHN mahs trahn-KEE-lah
There's a lot of noise from the street. Would you have a quieter room?
"Tendrían" (would you have) is the conditional tense — very polite for making requests.
Receptionist
Déjeme revisar. Sí, tenemos una habitación disponible en un piso más alto con vista interior.

Let me check. Yes, we have a room available on a higher floor with an interior view.

Eso sería perfecto. No me importa la vista, prefiero la tranquilidad.
EH-soh seh-REE-ah pehr-FEHK-toh noh meh eem-POHR-tah lah BEES-tah preh-fee-EH-roh lah trahn-kee-lee-DAHD
That would be perfect. I don't mind the view, I prefer the quiet.
Rooms facing interior courtyards are usually much quieter — a great tip for light sleepers in busy cities.
