Someone knocked on my door in the middle of the night.
bus-SA-to — three syllables, stress on the second. Double 's' makes the consonant longer.
Report this to reception the next morning — it may be housekeeping confusion, a wrong room, or a security concern.
'Ha bussato' = knocked (passato prossimo of 'bussare'). 'Nel mezzo della notte' = in the middle of the night. 'Qualcuno' = someone (indefinite). This phrase reports an unexpected disturbance and the hotel should investigate.
Ho sentito qualcuno manomettere la maniglia.
I heard someone tampering with the handle.
A more serious security concern — report urgently
Era il personale dell'hotel?
Was it hotel staff?
Ask if it was a legitimate late-night visit
Voglio segnalare un incidente di sicurezza.
I want to report a security incident.
The formal way to report anything that felt threatening
Legitimate hotel staff should never knock on room doors at night without an emergency. Late-night housekeeping is not standard practice. If you receive an unexpected knock, do not open the door — call reception to verify whether they sent someone before opening.
