At the hotel

Checking in, asking for what is missing, and the paperwork Russia expects.

Quick answer

A hotel room is a но́мер — the same word as “number”. Check-in needs your па́спорт, always.

Registration

Hotels register foreign guests with the authorities automatically — that is why they keep your passport for a few minutes. If you stay privately, the registration is the host’s job, and it matters.

Typical mistakes

Я хочу́ ко́мнату.

Я хочу́ но́мер.

A hotel room is a но́мер; ко́мната is a room in a flat.

на оди́н ночь

на одну́ ночь

ночь is feminine, so одну́.
