A comprehensive guide to all types of hotel rooms

Have you ever paid attention to the names of the hotel rooms? We have all experienced this; Imagine being invited to a coffee shop for a business meeting, a friendly gathering, or a simple outing. So far, so good, but when the waiter puts the cafe menu in front of you, you are faced with a long list of strange food and drink names, and you have no idea if they are even drinks or food; So you order one at random or one with a catchier title and pray it’s good. The story of hotel reservation is precisely the same; You plan with your family, friends, or spouse long ago for a week that has several days off in a row, but when you get to the page of the hotel you want, you come across a series of strange terms in the hotel rooms section that have a clear and specific meaning. Do not have Terms like twin bed, cabana room, or triple room; each has different prices.

Of course, like the story of the coffee shop, a series of these names were chosen by the hotel itself, and you cannot find them in the dictionary of tourism terms, but most of these terms have a special meaning, which we would like to explain below and define the types of hotel rooms. Stay with Nabtrip magazine.

1- Single room

As the name of this type of hotel room suggests, it is designed for one person. The single room usually has a single bed, and its space is between 37 and 45 square meters. The facilities of a single room, depending on the number of stars in the hotel, can include a TV, refrigerator, bathroom, and toilet. In hotels, when you come across the abbreviation SGL, it means single or single room.

It may be interesting to know that single rooms in some hotels usually have a higher price than double and even triple rooms because a series of special services only belong to single rooms. Usually, the beds used in the single space should be small, but in some hotels, king-size beds are also used. Single room is one of the most used and popular types of hotel rooms.

2- Double room

As its name suggests, a double room can comfortably accommodate two people. Of course, it should be kept in mind that the double room itself is divided into two categories, the first is the double room, and the second is the twin room. But what is the difference between the two?

A double room is a room in which a large double bed is joined together, and most of the audience of these beds are family couples. Some people think booking a double room will get a giant bed, which is wrong because hotels usually have single rooms with king-size beds, but you have to pay almost double the price for a double room.

3- twin room

A twin room has two separate beds that you can quickly get and use by reserving those two comfortable and almost large beds. The beds are single, but there are usually no twin rooms with king-size beds.

It is clear that by reserving a double room, all the items in the room will be delivered to you in the size of a double. The double room is one of the essential types of a hotel rooms.

4- Triple rooms

The triple room is the same as the previous options for three people. Of course, these rooms are different from the last two rooms, and that is because of the number of beds. These rooms appear in two types, which we will explain below.

One of the three-person room models is that three beds are considered for each person and placed in this large room. In some hotels, even two toilets are enough to meet people’s health needs.

Another model of these rooms is that there is a double bed and a single bed, which is usually very efficient for three-person families, and is much more prevalent among families.

Triple rooms are usually large and more expensive than other rooms.

5- Quad rooms

The four-person rooms are similar to the upper rooms, but there are also differences. One of these differences is the size of this room, which is much bigger than the other rooms. Four-person rooms are so big that many hotels usually do not consider them economical or use them.

The beds in this hotel room are available in two forms, two double beds, and four single beds, depending on the choice of families, but usually, two large beds are used to make the cost cheaper. However, the four-person room is one of the least used among the types of hotel rooms.
