Locked out in Lisbon—how fast can you get back in?

שאלות נפוצות
What do I say in English if my hotel key card doesn't work?
Tell the receptionist what's happening: "My key card isn't working" or "The door won't open with my card." Then give your booking name and room number if asked. To make sure your request is clear, add "Could you make me a new key card, please?"
How do I tell hotel reception my booking name in English?
You can say "The booking is under Maya Chen" and use the name on your reservation. "My name is Maya Chen" also works. Speak the name clearly, and be ready to spell it if the receptionist has trouble finding the booking.
How do I explain that my passport is inside my hotel room?
Say "My passport is inside the room." If you have another form of photo ID with you, you can mention that too: "I have my driving licence in my bag." Answer the receptionist's question honestly; you don't need to invent an ID you don't have.
How do I ask for a replacement hotel key in English?
Try "Could I have a replacement key, please?" or "Could you make me a new key card?" If your card has stopped working, you can also ask "Could you reset my card?" Explaining the problem helps, but make a direct request so the receptionist knows what you need.
