Arriving at a hotel or making a reservation, we are often faced with the need to opt for a certain category of room. There are travelers who prefer the cheapest rooms. This is the so-called "Standard". Turn over the night to go further - so why pay more? Therefore, in roadside hotels, almost all rooms are standard. But if we choose a hotel for a holiday, our preferences change. We want a higher quality of service. Therefore, we choose more expensive rooms. In the hotel price list, immediately after the category "Standard", the category "Superior room" is indicated. What is it and what can a tourist expect? Let's consider.

Global and local

In all countries of the world, on all continents, hotels offer superiors to their guests. But interestingly, there is no single standard for services and room filling for this category of rooms. The equipment of the premises depends on many factors: the country, the number of hotel stars, the type of hotel (city or resort). So what is superior room? The translation of these words simply means "improved room". No more, no less. Improved, it must be understood, compared with the standard number. And how this room was ennobled in order to charge a little more for a stay - this is at the discretion of the hotel administration. By the way, it should be noted that in luxury hotels (five stars) there are often no standard rooms at all. In them, “Superior” is the lowest category.

Superior by Russian standards

Previously, the hotel base of the country was divided only into single, double, triple and quadruple rooms. But with the tourism boom, civilization has also looked into our hotel industry. There are junior suites and suites. To throw dust in the eyes of the guests, the hotel administration often resorts to foreign names "executive" (special) or "Superior room". What does this mean in practice? Perhaps the standard room was refurbished. Maybe the old bed with sagging springs was replaced with new furniture. Or just put an electric kettle in a standard room. Or one bed was taken from the triple room, thereby increasing the living space. In any case, it doesn’t hurt to ask at the reception what bonuses the “superior room” provides.

Egyptian resort option

When we come to the sea, we want to see it all the time. And from the window of the room where we live, too. This is the catch of the Egyptian-Turkish resort “Superior room”, that it is, basically, a beautiful view. Standard rooms often overlook the road, utility yards, construction sites, and other unsightly objects. Superiors offer a view of the sea (Superior Sea View), garden, swimming pool. Also, improvement can be manifested in proximity to the beach. The prefix "Ocean front" means that you will actually live on it. If standard hotel rooms do not have a balcony, then Superior does. And if an ordinary room is equipped with it, then the Superior has a terrace. It should be said that in some hotel complexes there is also a "Superior Villa" and the same chalet. Then you can expect that the room will have several rooms or there will be a mini-kitchen.

European city hotel

Superior room - what does this mean for a two or three star hotel located in a touristic European city? As a rule, the standard rooms there are serviced at a high level, but they are very small: ten or even nine square meters, where you need to move sideways. What to do: Europeans are used to living in cramped quarters. Superior in Venice or Munich, London or Barcelona is a 20-25 sq. m. Sometimes, unlike the Standard, there is an electric kettle with tea bags, coffee, sugar and dry cream. At times, a shower stall is replaced by a full bath. In economy-class hotels, hygiene items are placed in Superior - shampoo, soap.

Nowadays, such a method of placing clients as ROH (Run of the house) is gaining popularity. The literal translation into Russian can mean "to run away from home."

What is it? An opportunity to relax in comfortable conditions or a simple money scam?

In contact with

To begin with, I would like to say that in modern hotels there are several types of rooms:

Single(SNG, SGL) - standard room for one person. As a rule, in places of this type there is one single bed and all other amenities that were indicated in the hotel regulations.
Double(DBL, dbl) - the same standard, but already designed for two people, a room with one double bed. If you wish, you can settle there alone, without outside tourists.
twin- standard double room with two single beds. There is standard furniture, the size of the room is also standard.

What is ROH

This is a method of accommodation in which the type of room is determined by the hotel at the time of the visitor's arrival. In other words, you book this type of accommodation. Further, when you arrive to check in, you can be given the keys to absolutely any room in the hotel, which will be free. It can be an ordinary standard room, it can be a deluxe room, or it can be an all-inclusive room.

Moreover, ROH is suitable for those who are going to travel with a large number of tourists. Let's say you go on a trip with a company of 50-70 people. When your group arrives at the hotel, you will receive the keys to the best facilities. Of course, it is not known what numbers these will be, but the fact is that you will save a lot of money by doing this..

For a visitor who wants to save money on a trip, this option has more positives than negatives. For example, if such a tourist was placed in the best hotel room, then it turns out that he paid for it, as for a regular one. Thus he saved 2 or even 3 times. If you are sure that you will order the Standard, then you will not lose anything when you choose the “Run of the house” number.

Now let's talk about what can go wrong if you order this placement method. Let's start with the fact that you will not know where you will be settled. You will have no idea what your room will look like. In such situations, you have to prepare for the fact that you may not be settled in the best room. If you understand and agree to these conditions, then you can safely buy this type of accommodation.

Be careful: the hotel administration will not respond to claims and complaints for a poor-quality room.

Another disadvantage of this offer is dishonest hotels. There are a lot of stories on the Internet that say that, even if there was a luxury room, a respectable tourist was settled in a standard one. In this case, you have the right to write a complaint and write an application to the court under the article "provision of poor-quality services." But as a rule, good hotels will not spoil their reputation with litigation, but will only meet you halfway. So, ROH can be both a great offer and a money scam. It all depends on which hotel you want to receive this service.

If you want to relax in a high-quality room, then it is best to book hotels between peak tourist seasons. At a time when tourists from all over the world begin to relax, it is almost impossible to find a good room in a hotel, because all of them are either already occupied or booked.
Always find out what conditions are presented in the Standard category. You need to know what you are signing up for if you are settled in a regular room. In some hotels you may not like them at all. Be careful when choosing "Run of the house" room type.
Always indicate the type of accommodation. It can be the category sng, and twin, and dbl. This action is necessary so that no one is suddenly hooked to you. It often happens when a person does not choose the type of accommodation, he is placed in the same room with a stranger. In such situations, it is better to rest together.
Carefully choose the hotel you want to go to with the "Run of the house" offer. This organization needs to have a good reputation. To do this, you can look at reviews on the Internet. Now there are a lot of sites that collect opinions from all over the world about all hotels. Unfortunately, not all reviews are reliable.

Conclusion

ROH (Run of the house) number is modern way to book a hotel. This is an analogue of some lottery, where you can get a prize for a small amount. Of course, these tips should help you, but luck also plays an important role here. No one knows if the best room in this hotel will be free or if you will only be left with Standard.

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

In contact with

"Superior room" translation of the designation and main criteria

standard. Room size is on average from 10 to 22 square meters. It has a TV, telephone, one or two beds, a toilet room with a 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 the quality of the equipment of the rooms. Their area, as a rule, is inferior to the standard ones.
Superior Room - superior room "Standard".

Superior room: room characteristics in different countries

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

A country.
The number of stars for the hotel.
Hotel type.

These are the most important things to consider. So that you can orient yourself correctly, we will give a description of the superior in the most popular countries for recreation.

Literally "superior" stands for "improved". If you are planning a vacation in or Turkey, then this room guarantees you a 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 view of the sea or the garden. There is also a balcony or terrace. Another advantage: the room is located close to the beach.

If speak about European cities, the area of the superior ranges from 20-25 square meters. You can expect a bathroom with a good bathtub, not 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 items.
