Twin room category. Difference between twin and double number. King size bedding

When choosing a tour on the website of a tour operator or hotel, travelers are faced with not entirely clear abbreviations - standard dbl, dbl, sngl, trpl, chd, exb, 3 dbl. What do these accommodation types mean? These abbreviations characterize certain standards of a particular type of accommodation in a hotel room, depending on the number of guests staying. Let us consider in detail the decoding of each type of number separately.

The main types of accommodation.

SNGL(single) accommodation in a single room. Small room for one person with a single bed. The SNGL room is characterized by its small size and austere furnishings. There are either few or no SNGL rooms in hotels. When booking SNGL, hotels are usually settled in a standard DBL (double) room DBL (double room) double room with either one large double bed or two single beds pushed together (DBL twin option). Most often, the DBL room is a standard one-room type room in a hotel. Unlike SNGL, DBL room has a large area and an improved interior. TWIN(twin) double room with two separate beds. In fact, the same room as DBL, most often TWIN accommodation is in a standard one-room hotel room, but in such a room the single beds are separated. TRPL(triple) - triple room. Usually, when placing TRPL, one room with a double bed and one single bed (EXB - extra bed), or three separate single beds will be provided. When settling into a TRPL, most often a DBL size number or larger will be provided. QDPL(quadruple) - quadruple room. The QDPL is one room with 4 beds. In QDPL, this can be options of one double and two single beds, two connected single beds or four separate single beds. It is not uncommon for QDPL numbers to be the same as DBL and TWIN, but often larger.

Additional designations

EXB(extra bed) - extra bed for an adult (over 12 years old). This designation is given to rooms in which another extra bed, called EXB, is installed or can be installed. In this case, the designation will be: DBL+EXB ADL(adult) - adult. Depending on the hotel, an ADL is considered a person aged 12 or 14. INF(infant) - a child 0-2 years old. Often there is no separate INF category in hotels, children from 0 to 2 years old can be classified as CHD - 0 to 12 years old. CHD(CHLD) - child. Designation of residence of a child under 12 (14) years of age. Different hotels interpret the age of CHD as follows: from 0 to 6 years, from 0 to 12 (or 14) years. In one case or another, accommodation for CHD can be either free or paid at a discount.

Combined types of hotel accommodation

SNGL+INF- means the settlement of 1 adult and 1 child under 2 years old. Accommodation in a SNGL room with a single bed and an extra baby cot. In many hotels, in the SNGL + INF option, a child under 2 years old can stay for free. Same as 1ADL+INF. SNGL+CHD- 1 adult + child under 12 (14) years old. SNGL+CHD means that the accommodation will be in a single SNGL room, plus an extra bed for a child. Same as 1ADL+1CHD. SGL+2CHD- accommodation for 1 adult + 2 children up to 12 (14) years old. Rare type of accommodation - not many SNGL rooms will be able to accommodate two extra beds, but there are exceptions. Same as 1ADL+2CHD. * An important note - when placing SNGL, hotels often provide a larger standard DBL (double) room. In this case, the placement of SNGL+CHD and SGL+2CHD is quite comfortable. DBL+INF- means the settlement of 2 adults and 1 child under 2 years old. Accommodation in a DBL room with a double bed and an extra baby cot. Same as 2ADL+INF. DBL+CHD- double room with a child. Accommodation will be in a DBL room, in which, in addition to a large double bed, one extra bed is installed. Depending on the hotel, in the DBL+CHD option, a child can stay for free or at a significant discount. Same as 2ADL+CHD. DBL+EXB- means that the accommodation will be in a DBL double room, plus an extra EXB bed for an adult. An adult is defined as a person over 12 or, in some cases, over 14 years of age. DBL + EXB is a fairly common type of accommodation, found even in expensive hotels. Same as 2ADL+EXB. DBL+2CHD- double room and 2 children. Essentially the same as DBL+CHD, but there will be two baby cots for guests under 12 (14) years of age. Means the same as 2ADL+2CHD. DBL+EXB+CHD- double room DBL + extra bed for adult EXB + bed for child CHD. This is a DBL room that can accommodate four people, 3 adults and one child up to 12 (14) years old. Quite a rare type of accommodation in hotels. Same as 3ADL+1CHD. TRPL+2CHD- triple room with two fixed beds for children up to 12 (14) years old. A very rare type of accommodation due to the difficulty of accommodating so many guests in a TRPL room. Such settlement is typical for large Family rooms. Same as 3ADL+2CHD. QDPL+1CHD- quadruple room with an extra bed for a child up to 12 (14) years old. In expensive hotels, such rooms, as a rule, are not provided. For such accommodation in hotels, you must book a Family room or Family suite. ** The description of these types of accommodation is typical for rooms of the lower price category of hotels. It should be borne in mind that for most of the above types of accommodation there are more comfortable rooms, and with the possibility of choosing a view from the room: sea view, mountain view, pool view. Superior room DBL or DBL+EXB - superior room with increased room size, sometimes with an additional sofa bed, which can comfortably accommodate 3 adults (2+1AD). Family room DBL or DBL+EXB or DBL+2CHD - is a family room of one or more rooms. Often a Family room is made by combining two adjacent standard rooms, between which there is a door. Convenient for family living. DBL suite or DBL suite+EXB - a room of superior comfort and improved layout, usually consists of at least two rooms. Ideal for DBL+EXB or DBL+2CHD accommodation A more accurate description of any room and type of accommodation is a must-see on the hotel website.

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

What does twin number mean?

Twin is a double in which 2 separate beds are installed. In this it differs from the double (Double). The latter is also a double room, but it has one large shared double bed.

So what is a twin number? in a room where two identical beds are installed (English twins - "twins").

Twin room in the hotel: features

If you often travel around the world, you probably noticed that international hotels are classified by stars, but the rooms in them are classified by the number of guests living there. For example, a single (Single) is the accommodation of only one traveler. Some kind of sharing, the substitution of extra beds is prohibited here.

But the family room (Family room) accepts only families. It can accommodate one double and two single beds or four single beds. It is very convenient for tourists traveling with a friendly family.

What is a twin number? Along with the double is the most popular of all the presented accommodation options. For whom is it useful? For traveling together with a friend, colleague, girlfriend, friend, relative, child, parent and other persons with whom it is morally impossible to sleep in the same bed. This option allows you to be with a fellow traveler in the same room, which is very convenient.

Please note that the twin price is charged for the entire room, not per bed. In addition, if your documents, for example, indicate "twin: single occupancy", then this is only supposed to cover breakfast for one tourist. At the same time, you can live together, if you wish, you can buy a second breakfast. Sometimes for a third guest, they can provide an extra rollaway bed for free or for a fee. Such details are already specified in 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. From here, a twin is chosen by two friends, relatives, colleagues, acquaintances traveling together, and a double is chosen by married couples, lovers. It should also be noted that accommodation in Twin will be somewhat more expensive for you than in Double.

Other accommodation options

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

  • Triple (triple) - triple occupancy (often with an extra folding bed).
  • Extra Bed - accommodation in double and triple rooms with an extra bed.
  • Child - inclusion in the cost of living a child under twelve years old. 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 both the usual standard and the empty deluxe apartments.

We found out that international hotels divide their rooms according to the number of guests staying. A twin in this classification is a comfortable twin-bed accommodation for two non-gendered travelers.

In North America, there are several types of room layouts and several different bed types. Many hotels in the Caribbean and Central America also follow this classification.

  • Children's bed (Crib)- for small children, a baby crib (crib) measuring 60 x 120 cm can be placed in the room.


ROOM TYPES

Rooms with one bed.

King-size or Queen-size By default, two people share one bed.

  • With an extra bed, if possible, these rooms can accommodate 3 people.
  • Rooms with a pull out sofa can also accommodate 3 people or, less commonly, 2 adults and 2 children.
  • Accommodation of the third (and/or fourth) person in the room on an extra bed or on an existing sofa bed is charged separately. The cost of installing an extra bed can be either included in the cost of placing the third (fourth) person, or highlighted as a separate item. Sometimes a baby cot in the room is paid separately.
  • Room rate DBL usually equal to the price of the room SGL- the cost of a single occupancy in any type of room is usually equal to the cost of a double occupancy (excluding meals and possible additional services).
  • The exact cost of accommodation, taking into account all the features and nuances, must be clarified before booking. The conditions and cost of different types of accommodation in different hotels can vary greatly.

Rooms with two beds.

  • Two Twins- Rooms with two single beds. Assume double occupancy on two separate beds.
  • Name twin room may indicate that the room has 2 separate beds of any size. The number of people that can be accommodated in a room, in this case, must be specified based on the types of beds and accommodation conditions offered by the hotel.
  • double double(two double) are rooms equipped with two double beds. Typically, these rooms can accommodate up to four people.
  • two queens (double queen)- These are rooms with two queen beds, also for a maximum of four people.
  • The basic cost of these rooms assumes double occupancy. Additional payments are provided for each additional (third and fourth) person in the room.
  • Free accommodation for a child in a room with two adults using existing beds, it usually means booking those rooms with two double beds.
  • Extra beds are usually not available in rooms with two beds. In suites, it is sometimes possible to use a sofa bed in the living room (if provided).
  • The equipment and size of rooms with one King (or Queen) bed, as a rule, completely coincides with the size and equipment of similar Double Double (or Two Queen) rooms.The possibility of accommodating four adults in such a room does not, in most cases, imply any additional space in the rooms for suitcases and personal belongings. Please pay attention to the size of the room and its description.
