How much does the room cost per night?
'Quanto' — stress the first syllable: 'QUAN-to'. 'Costa' — 'CO-sta'. Both are short, clear words.
Use to ask the price per night before committing to the booking. Always ask before giving your card details.
'Quanto costa' = 'how much does it cost'. This is one of the most fundamental phrases in Italian. 'Per notte' = 'per night'. 'Notte' = night; 'al giorno' = per day (used less for hotel rooms, more for car hire).

Important follow-up question
Italian hotel prices are usually quoted per room per night, not per person. 'Camera e colazione' (B&B rate) includes breakfast. 'Solo pernottamento' means room only. In tourist seasons, many hotels require a minimum stay of 2–3 nights, especially on weekends.
