Question

I have some doubts in a type of the room in the hotel:Double/Twin room: is a room with a big bed (for 2 people)?and Superior ensuite room what is?Thank you in advance for your help

Philip · Accepted Answer

It's best to check with the hotel, and European hotels differ from those in the U.S.

Single room = one bed (could be a twin size, full size, queen or king, depending on the hotel).

Double = full size bed or two twins (check with the hotel)

Many hotels who offer a queen or king, charge for two people, no matter how many people are staying there.

Avangi · Answer

There are probably regional differences in how the rooms are referred to. A double room would have two beds. The size of the beds may or may not be specified. All beds other than "twin" will accomodate two people - full size, queen size, king size.

A suite would be two or more rooms combined, not necessarily all bedrooms.

Sometimes advertisements specify the rate as, eg., $80 double occupancy, meaning a "single" might be $100 (usually two beds) and the same room for two people would be $160. Tricky.

- A.

Edit. As Philip says, a "single room" may have only one bed, but you find this less frequently these days, especially in resort areas, or areas which are often booked full; because the management doesn't want to get stuck with rooms they can't rent, and a room with two twin beds may be rented as a single.

The hotel is in United Kingdom. And I saw this table:

2008 Low-High Season Rates

Type of room	Single	Double/Twin	Triple	Quadruple
Basic	£42-£46	£50-£56	-	-	Book Now
Double with shower	£46-£50	£58-£64	-	-	Book Now
With private bathroom	£50-£54	£68-£74	£82-£88	-	Book Now
Superior Ensuite	£54-£58	£72-£78	£86-£96	£96-£108	Book Now

So, my doubts are about what is double/twin and superior ensuite.

Thank you!

Superior en-suite - a larger room, with extra fancy interior decoration and possibly a minibar, with a bathroom accessed from the room.
Double/Twin = a room for two people, in which the bed can be either a double bed or two single beds. Many smaller hotels will have single beds that can be linked together to make a double bed.
The room with private bathroom will not have direct access to the bathroom from the bedroom. You have to go out of the room to get to it, but no-one else will be using the bathroom.
