The short answer
Hotel is ett hotell, room is ett rum and booking is en bokning. At check-in, give your name with Jag har bokat ett rum i namnet..., then confirm breakfast, checkout and access. For a problem, state the observable fact, room number and solution you need.
Book a room with the details that matter
The useful choices are ett enkelrum, ett dubbelrum, eget badrum, frukost ingår and avbokningsbart. Ask for the total price and cancellation terms before confirming.
To describe facilities and space, the Swedish home and furniture guide covers the rooms, objects and prepositions that reappear in a hotel room.
