Directory of room types, accommodation and meals in hotels. What do standard hotel abbreviations mean Double room dbl one bedroom

Africa

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

Unfortunately, there are no unified world standards for classifying hotel rooms, but to figure out which room is hidden under one name or another (for example, superior room- what is it) is possible.

Categories of rooms in hotels

In Russian hotels, rooms are divided into a couple of different categories: high 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 necessarily has a living room and a separate or visually separated study from the living room space.

Apartment(Apartment). This room starts at 40 m². Requirements: at least two rooms, and there must be a kitchen area.
Suite(Luxe). A room that can comfortably accommodate two people. It 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 comfortable 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 area of the Studio is not less than 25 m².

Standard

All standard category rooms are one-room.

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

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

Classification of hotel rooms - decoding and translation

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

according to European standard

View from the window - symbols

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, GV(Garden View), informing about what kind of view awaits you from the windows of this room. Deluxe GV is a deluxe garden view room.

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

To book a hotel room, use this convenient search form. Enter city, arrival and departure dates and number of guests.

The correct choice of a hotel room, of course, depends on budget, on what kind of vacation you are counting on, with whom you will go.
If with you child, then you definitely need to pay attention to what kind of sleeping place will be provided for him.
If you are a fan of excursions and outdoor activities, then in the hotel you will just sleep. Why pay more for the benefits of Superior over Standard if you don't even notice them? In this case, you can think about the Promo room, if the selected hotel offers such an option.

If you prefer a beach holiday and expect to spend most of your time at the hotel, the room should be enough comfortable.

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

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

It is best when there is an opportunity to find out in advance everything about the room in which you are going to spend your vacation, so that the impressions from it remain only pleasant.

See this video for an example superior room:

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:

The 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.

View from the window: room classification

When choosing a hotel room, pay attention to the abbreviation, which indicates which view from the window opens.

What is the difference between "superior" and "standard"?

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

The area of "Superior" is usually twice as large as compared to standard rooms. The decor in the room is 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 the greater comfort of hotel guests.

Types of accommodation in hotels

Main types of 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, or a pull-out sofa, a cot, or even a mattress thrown on the floor.

Tip: always ask what kind of extra bed you will be provided with.

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

Adults are denoted 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 system of fortune - whatever comes across. Since they won’t give you a worse than a standard room anyway, you can consider such accommodation as accommodation in a standard room, or maybe you’ll get lucky and they’ll give you a deluxe :)

Views from the room

These designations are very easy to understand - the second word view (often abbreviated as V) denotes a view, and the first word, 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. The pool is rarely quiet.

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

ocean view- ocean view

SSV- side sea view. This means that there may be a swimming 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- park view

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

Hotel room types

There are a huge number of them, nothing exact can be said about the number by name, one can only understand that the simplest number is usually

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

The next in rank, as a rule, is the Superior number - usually a little more than the standard number.

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

family room- a room for a family, usually designed to accommodate a minimum of 4 people

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

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

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