"You are not expected to tip on top of restaurant service charges, but it is common to leave a small amount, say EUR1.00 per person. If there is no service charge, you might consider leaving a 10% tip, but this is by no means obligatory. In bars, Italians often leave any small change as a tip. Tipping taxi drivers is not common practice, but you should tip the porter at higher-class hotels. Bargaining is common in flea markets but not in shops, although you might find that the proprietor is disposed to give a discount if you are spending a reasonable amount of money. It is quite acceptable to ask if there is a special price for a room in a pensione or hoptel if you plan to stay for more than a few days. Indeed, there is no harm in trying to bargain down room prices at any time."

* me parece que en este contexto se refiere a "hostel", pero es mas general usar "hotel"
Lo gracioso es que la palabra "hoptel" existe y está relacionada con un tipo de alojamiento ( que no es este): hoptel: hospital - hotel

Comment: "Le voy a dar los puntos a Maryel, porque no había pensado en la posibilidad de que hablara de un hostel. Ahí tiene más sentido regatear el precio, como dice el texto.
¡¡Gracias!!"

hotel.
En este caso está clarísimo que es un error tipográfico. Yo no le daría más vueltas.
Sin embargo si quieres ir a un hoptel... ¡te puedo indicar donde hay alguno! Como he dicho, este no es el caso y no lo dudes, es un error tipográfico.
Al parecer los "hopteles" son una mezcla entre hoteles y hospitales y por lo que he averiguado los hay en Estados Unidos. Mira el link que te incluyo. Lo explican muy bien.
