Superior double room. Types of hotel accommodation

The abbreviations that are used in the offers of international hotels are not always completely clear to the Russian traveler. For example, a twin number - what is it? Let's look at the features.

What does twin number mean?

Twin is a double room with 2 separate beds. This is how it differs from Double. The latter is also a double room, but it has one large shared double bed.

So what is this - a twin number? in a room where there are two identical beds (English twins - “twins”).

Twin room in the hotel: features

If you often travel around the world, you have probably noticed that international hotels are classified by stars, but their rooms are classified by the number of guests staying there. For example, Single is accommodation for only one traveler. Any sharing or placement of extra beds is prohibited here.

But the Family room accepts only families. There can be one double and two single or four single beds. This is very convenient for tourists traveling with a friendly family.

What is this - a twin number? Along with double, the most popular of all the presented accommodation options. Who is it useful for? For those traveling together with a friend, colleague, girlfriend, boyfriend, relative, child, parent and other persons with whom, according to moral principles, it is impossible to sleep in the same bed. At the same time, this option allows you and your travel companion to stay in the same room, which is very convenient.

Be careful, the price for a twin is charged for the entire room, not per bed. In addition, if your documents, for example, indicate “twin: single occupancy,” then this only means serving breakfast for one tourist. You can live together, if you wish, by purchasing a second breakfast. Sometimes an extra rollaway bed can be provided for a third guest free of charge or for a fee. Such details are clarified by the administration of a particular hotel.

Thus, the main difference between a twin and a double is that the first has two single beds, and the second has one double bed. Hence, a twin is chosen by two friends, relatives, colleagues, and acquaintances traveling together, and a double is chosen by married couples or lovers. It should also be noted that accommodation in a Twin will be slightly more expensive than in a Double.

Other accommodation options

You and I learned that this is a twin, double, single, family room number. Let's look at other accommodation options:

• Triple - triple occupancy (often with an additional folding bed).
• Extra Bed - double and triple accommodation with an extra bed.
• Child - inclusion of a child under twelve years of age in the price of stay. Typical for single and double. Maybe for two children - 2Child.
• ROH (run of house) - accommodation of a guest at the discretion of the hotel in a room of any class. This is an option for those who like to try their luck - you can find yourself in either a regular standard or an empty deluxe apartment.

We found out that international hotels divide their rooms according to the number of guests staying. Twin in this classification is a comfortable accommodation with 2 separate beds for two non-gender related travelers.

Modern hotels offer tourists many services. We will tell you below what you should pay attention to and which room to choose. Please note that there are no uniform standards on the basis of which we can draw a conclusion about the quality of a hotel room. However, you can easily find out the main characteristics of the number by its name.

Classmates

“Superior room” translation of the designation and main criteria

• Standard. The room area averages from 10 to 22 square meters. It has a TV, telephone, one or two beds, and a toilet with shower. You can also count on a refrigerator. In general, the equipment depends on the level of the hotel.
• Economy Room. From the name you can roughly guess about the quality of the room equipment. Their area, as a rule, is inferior to standard ones.
• Superior Room - superior “Standard” room.

Superior room: room characteristics in different countries

What factors influence the equipment of the premises and the quality of services provided to the client:

1. Country.
2. Number of stars for the hotel.
3. Hotel type.

These are the most basic points to consider. So that you can navigate correctly, we will provide a description of superior in the most popular countries for holidays.

Literally "superior" stands for "improved". If you are planning a holiday in or Turkey, then this room guarantees you availability beautiful view from the window. If the standard room overlooks the highway, a large construction site or shops, then the superior rooms offer a beautiful panorama of the sea or garden. There is also a balcony or terrace. Another advantage: the room is located close to the beach.

If we talk about European cities , the superior area ranges from 20-25 square meters. You can expect a bathroom with a good bathtub rather than a walk-in shower. Sometimes there may be an electric kettle, coffee, sugar and cream in the room. In economy class hotels you will find the most necessary hygiene products.

View from the window: room classification

When choosing a hotel room, pay attention to the abbreviation that indicates what kind of view the window offers.

What is the difference between “superior” and “standard”?

“Standard” is an economical room with a small area, in which:

The area of ​​"Superior" rooms is usually twice that of standard rooms. The furnishings in the room are modern, with good furniture and appliances. View from the windows pleases with a beautiful panorama. You can also relax on the balcony, as it is usually furnished for greater comfort for hotel guests.

You should not compare these categories in different hotels. In most cases, comfort and quality of services depends on the number of stars and hotel status.

If you are planning a trip, you should carefully approach all organizational issues. We'll tell you what you should pay attention to when choosing a hotel.

Types of hotel accommodation

Single-SGL- single occupancy

Double-DBL- double occupancy with one double bed

Twin-TWN- double occupancy with two single beds

DBL+EX.BED(extra bed) - double occupancy with one double bed and an extra bed. An extra bed can be either a full bed, a folding sofa, a folding bed or even a mattress thrown on the floor.

Triple-TRPL– triple occupancy. The room has two main beds, and the third can be a stationary bed or a folding sofa. The TRPL room usually accommodates three adults, and the DBL+EX.BED room accommodates adults with a child.

Adults are designated by the word adult children chld (Child)

Another type of accommodation is found mainly in Asia -

Run of house- R.O.H. - accommodation is offered by the hotel upon arrival at its discretion. The price of the room is low, but it works like a luck system - whatever happens. Since they won’t give you a room worse than a standard one anyway, you can consider this accommodation as being in a standard room, or maybe you’ll be lucky and get a deluxe :)

Views from the room

These designations are very easy to understand - the second word view (often abbreviated as V) denotes the view, and the first word indicates where this view is. The most common designations:

Garden view- view of the garden (most often in the opposite direction from the sea)

Pool view- view of the pool (often towards the sea - but the sea is not visible) - think about whether you need such a view if you want a relaxing holiday. It's rarely quiet around the pool.

SV, sea ​​view - sea view - rooms with this view are usually the most expensive

Ocean view- ocean view

SSV, Side Sea view- side sea view. This means that there may be a pool and a garden right in front of you, but if you stand on the balcony in a certain place and turn your head in the right direction, you will see the sea. A dubious pleasure, especially if you have to pay extra money for it.

Mountain view- mountain view

Park view- view of the park

Inside view- view of the atrium (small courtyard) or the interior of the hotel.

Hotel room types

There are a huge number of them, you can’t say anything exact about the number by name, you can only understand that the simplest number is usually

STD (standard)- standard room. (But in some hotels the simplest room may be a deluxe room)

The next in rank, as a rule, is the Superior room - usually a little larger than the standard one.

A room much larger than a standard one is most often called a Suite (can be two-room).

Family room- family room, usually designed to accommodate at least 4 people

Executive- as a rule, a business room with superior comfort

BGL, BG, Villa, Village(bungalow) - bungalows, houses separate from the main building

Often more comfortable than rooms in the main building of the hotel, which is called

When planning any trip, the question of accommodation always arises. Many hotels are ready to offer a countless variety of rooms, from which you often don’t know what to expect.

Unfortunately, there are no uniform world standards for the classification of hotel rooms, but to figure out which room is hidden under one name or another (for example, superior room - that this) is possible.

Categories of rooms in hotels

In Russian hotels, rooms are divided into a couple of different categories: higher and standard.

Higher

• Suite(Suite). Upscale hotel room with an area of ​​75 m². The suite consists of at least three rooms. One of the mandatory requirements is a separate guest toilet.

In addition to the bedroom, the suite must have a living room and a separate office, or visually separated from the living room space.

• Apartment(Apartment). The size of this room starts at 40 m². Requirements: at least two rooms, and there must be a kitchen area.
• Lux(Luxe). A room that can comfortably accommodate two people. Consists of a bedroom (sometimes more than one) and a living room. The area of ​​the Suite is at least 35 m².
• Junior Suite(Junior Suite). This is a one-room suite, the convenient layout of which visually delimits the space into a sleeping area and a living room. The area of ​​the Junior Suite is at least 25 m².
• Studio(Studio). One room with a kitchen area. The Studio area is at least 25 m².

Standard



All standard category rooms are one-room.

The difference lies in the number of beds and the presence or absence of a bathroom in the room.

1. 1st category(otherwise – standard). Designed to accommodate one or two people. The room has a toilet room.
2. 2nd category. Differs from category 1 in the presence of an incomplete bathroom (sink and toilet).
3. 3rd category. The number of people staying in this room depends on the number of beds. But at least 6 m² must be allocated for each resident. The room is equipped with either a partial bathroom or one full bathroom for several rooms.
4. 4th category. It differs from the 3rd category room in that it only has a washbasin.
5. 5th category. The rooms of the fifth category do not have a bathroom at all. The washbasin is located in the corridor.

Classification of hotel rooms - decoding and translation

Rooms in foreign countries may differ in classification and requirements from Russian standards.

According to European standard

View from the window - designations

In resort countries, there is also a classification of rooms according to the view from the windows. Usually, an abbreviation is added to the name of the room, for example, Deluxe, for example, G.V.(Garden View), informing you about the view that awaits you from the windows of this room. Deluxe GV is a Deluxe room with a garden view.

Let's figure out what types are hidden under certain abbreviations:

To book a hotel room, use this convenient search form. Enter city, check-in and check-out dates And number of guests.

• The correct choice of hotel room, of course, depends on budget, on what kind of vacation you are planning on, who you are going with.
• If it happens to you child, then you definitely need to pay attention to what kind of sleeping place will be provided for him.
• If you are a lover of excursions and active recreation, then you will be at the hotel just sleep. Why pay extra for the benefits of Superior over Standard if you don’t even notice them? In this case, you can think about a Promo room, if the selected hotel offers such an option.

If you prefer beach holiday and you expect to spend most of your time on the hotel premises, the room should be sufficient comfortable.

In this case, the only question is what do you expect from the room and what bonuses are you willing to pay extra for.

A pleasant evening on the balcony with a glass of wine and a view of the sea will not be possible if the room does not have a balcony or the windows face the wall of a neighboring building.

It’s best when you have the opportunity to find out in advance everything about the room in which you are going to spend your vacation, so that your impressions of it remain only pleasant.
