In Italy, room numbers often indicate the floor (the first digit) followed by the door number. When speaking, Italians usually say the digits separately – “quattro zero due” – rather than the full number “quattrocentodue”. In formal settings you might add “per favore” (please) or “signora/signor” for politeness.
