Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking hotels, “Nachtservice” usually refers to a limited menu of food and drinks that can be ordered after the main restaurant has closed, as well as 24‑hour front‑desk assistance. The phrase sounds professional; in casual conversation you might hear “Wir haben Nachtdienst” when talking about staff schedules rather than guest services.
