Cultural Tip
In German, 'es gibt' is the go‑to construction for stating the existence of something, similar to English 'there is/are'. Native speakers often prefer it over 'haben' when talking about general availability. However, in a hotel reception context you may also hear 'Wir haben ...' which sounds slightly more personal.
