I'm no expert, but I think that a conventional way to say this is:

У меня есть заказан номер

And if you say it something like this:

Ooh mean-YEAH yeast zah-KAH-zan NO-myer

then I expect you will be understood!

The literal meaning, "at me there is reserved number," the word number being understood in a hotel to mean a room or suite.

"U menya nomer zabronirovan"
Means I have a reservation (in hotel. If you want to use it with regard to Car reservation, or table in the restaurant or anything else - you need other words.

In Russian it is written like this:
"У меня номер забронирован"

and you can say it like this:
"u menyA nOmer zabronIrovan"

Someone beat me to it.

Only thing I can add is U as it sounds in push or cook, not like in puke.
