this branch doesn't seem to be frequently visited by linguisits. This is Spanish only, so I hope there is someone out there.

I got this reply to my booking request. Can someone PLEASE translate it for me?

Thanks Kate, a very useful link.
Even if the translation is not perfect, it's good enough for simple purposes, like the one here.

It is a useful tool and surprisingly okay quality.

It does not have Polish though - so tell us what your signature means, please This is not a request from an overbearing moderator (I hope) but from neko ko (malo) govori drugi slovenski jezik!

Where are my wind ... ?

I actually looked and I can't find this last word.

My sign line "where the winds take me".

The hotel is located in Avenida Brazil between Aroma B (?) in front of the bus terminal. 2 blocks from the departure point of the carnaval (no idea about that bit, my Spanish is kinda rusty and I'm not familiar with the area).

Polite bye bye

Insubordination,
Thanks for translation. I don't speak Spanish (hence this topic), but, yes, I know that "matrimonial" is just double room with double bed (as opposed to twin bed)

It's so clear that I'm a solo traveller. It's funny my Spanish is pretty good and I can read the newspaper etc. and then I won't know the most basic things - like shoelace or double room.

My attempt:

Good day, thank you for communicating with us.

As for your application. I regret to tell you that the single-person rooms are already reserved. What I can offer you is a "matrimonial" room. The price goes up to $270 US. From Friday the 1st until Sunday the 3rd and with check-out on the 4th.

On the night of the 30th the same room, that is to say the matrimonial, we can give it to you as though it were a single and the price is: $19.50 US.

All the rooms come with a TV, phone, are carpeted, have a private bathroom, personal hygeine accessories, and a Semi-buffet breakfast is included in the price.

The hotel is located on Avenida Brasil between Aroma "B", facing the bus terminal. Two blocks from the carnival game (?).

Without further ado I say goodbye to you with the most distinguished considerations.

* A "matrimonial" room is, I believe, one with a single bed meant to be shared by two people (a couple, hence "matrimonial."

** I have no idea what they mean by "partida de carnaval". When I first saw it I thought meant something like "leaving-point" or "end", then maybe game. A Google search reveals mostly stuff in Portuguese and an image search shows people in Carnaval and a soccer game. Hmmm....?

What kind of place is this anyway? Quite the range....$19.50 to $270!

The other translation is more than sufficent.

Ya cumplido partidos en 2 cuadras de carnival--

I can only interpret this to mean that they're in th midst of some soccer match during Carnival, and its almost over. That is probably why the prices have gone so high. All the rooms in the city may be booked and overbooked for this unfortunate time for you.

It could be a kind of warning that says:

This is the best that you'll get in our city in this time period.

oops. You will already be two blocks from exit of Carnival

I'm sorry, its four am here.
