Asking About Hotel Amenities｜French Travel Conversation

During a hotel stay, you may often need to make requests such as “Could I have another towel?” or “Do you have a hairdryer?” Being able to express these requests simply in French will make communication with hotel staff much smoother.

Here, I will introduce the basic expressions used when asking about or requesting hotel amenities, along with explanations of their grammatical structure.

Dialogue

A

Excusez-moi. Est-ce que vous avez une serviette supplémentaire ?
(Excuse me. Do you have an extra towel?)

B

Oui, bien sûr. Je vous en apporte tout de suite.
(Yes, of course. I’ll bring one right away.)

A

Merci. Et est-ce que vous avez un sèche-cheveux ?
(Thank you. And do you have a hairdryer?)

B

Oui, il est dans l’armoire de la salle de bain.
(Yes, it’s in the bathroom cabinet.)

A

Parfait, merci beaucoup !
(Perfect, thank you very much!)

Grammar and Expression Points

1. Asking “Do you have 〜?”

In hotels, a common way to ask whether something is available is with the phrase: “Est-ce que vous avez 〜?” (Do you have 〜?)

For items that are not counted individually, such as savon（soap）or shampoing（shampoo）, partitive articles (du / de la) are used.

2. Expressions for “extra” or “another”

Requests in hotels often involve asking for “another towel” or “an extra pillow.”

Using these appropriately makes your requests sound more natural.

3. Useful Vocabulary for Hotel Amenities

4. Making Polite Requests

For a more polite tone, you can use “Pouvez-vous 〜?” (Could you 〜?).

Adding “s’il vous plaît” (please) makes the request sound especially courteous.
