Hi,

How would I say "I've booked a room for four night" in Russian? Meaning, of course, a room in a hotel

I can cope with "I've booked a room" but I'm not sure about the last part. I assume I either need na followed by four nights in the accusative, or no preposition at all. Also, would it be more natural to say days or nights?

Sorry - no Cyrillic font on this PC.

Your help is appreciated.

"Я снял комнату на пять дней" (not "ночей", in Russian "день" often uses instead of "сутки").

I think this would be acceptable too.

This is what I would have suggested as well. I think its more widely used in hotels.

Why are we translating 4 as пять?

This is my mistake: I think about 4 but wrote 5.
