Checking Into a Hostel

You arrive at a hostel and check in at the front desk with a friendly receptionist.

You
Hola, buenas. Tengo una reservación para esta noche.
OH-lah, BWEH-nahs. TEHN-goh OO-nah reh-ser-vah-SYOHN PAH-rah EHS-tah NOH-cheh.
Hi, hello. I have a reservation for tonight.
"Buenas" by itself is an informal, all-purpose greeting that works any time of day. Very common in casual settings like hostels.
Receptionist
¡Hola! Bienvenido. ¿A nombre de quién?
OH-lah! byehn-veh-NEE-doh. ah NOHM-breh deh kyehn?
Hi! Welcome. Under whose name?
"¿A nombre de quién?" is the standard check-in question. Just say your name when asked.
You
A mi nombre... ¿Hay wifi? ¿Cuál es la clave?
ah mee NOHM-breh... ay WAI-fai? kwahl ehs lah KLAH-veh?
Under my name... Is there wifi? What's the password?
"Clave" means "password" or "key" and is used throughout Latin America. In some countries you might also hear "contraseña."
Receptionist
Sí, claro. La clave está en la pared. ¿Necesitas algo más?
SEE, KLAH-roh. lah KLAH-veh ehs-TAH ehn lah pah-REHD. neh-seh-SEE-tahs AHL-goh mahs?
Yes, of course. The password is on the wall. Do you need anything else?
You
No, así está bien. Muchas gracias.
noh, ah-SEE ehs-TAH byehn. MOO-chahs GRAH-syahs.
No, that's fine. Thank you very much.
"Así está bien" means "that's fine" or "that's good like this." A very useful phrase for wrapping up any transaction.
