Example Superior room.

Most often it happens that when booking private room tour operators advise a room called Superior room for an additional fee. But what kind of room is this and why do they promise the most favorable conditions for a modest surcharge? What is the room category that comes after the normal category called "standard"? Or maybe it is the best service, additional services, comfortable conditions?

We need to try to figure it out sequentially. Many countries of the world and their hotels differently understand the pattern of filling rooms. In most cases it depends on:

- from the country and city where the hotel is located;

- on the number of stars of the hotel complex;

- from the type of hotel.

So, the name of the superior room means Literally "improved room". But if improved, then in comparison with what? With a regular room or an overnight stay in a simple hostel? The procedure for improving the room is left to the hotel administration to decide. It happens that in luxury hotels or five-star hotels, standard rooms do not exist and the most affordable is the "Superior room".

In the former USSR, hotel rooms were divided into single, double, triple, and quadruple rooms. But for the sake of emulating world common standards, in recent times suites, junior suites, or, according to the European prestigious names “superior room”, “executive”, began to form. But in reality it was like this: the usual room was restored, tinted in some places, the curtains were changed and hung - and now the luxurious room is ready to receive guests. For this reason, you should always be interested in what exactly the advantages of this number are.

In states where sea travel is especially common, superior rooms have a good view from the windows - these are seascapes, beaches, pools, gardens. And as the opposite of such rooms, the windows of ordinary rooms “look out” at the courtyard, road, parking lot, construction site, etc. The superior rooms have access to the terrace. And if the hotel offers " superior chalet” or “superior-villa”, then the number may have a number of rooms and a small kitchen. This is a great advantage, especially if you are traveling with a toddler.

European tourist cities have other superior rum”, significantly different from those located in states with a hot climate. The level of service remains at the highest level, regardless of the number. However, here, if the standard room provides a room, approximately 9-10 sq. m, then the "superior room" is 18-25 sq. m. In the latter version, you will still be offered coffee, sugar, tea and a kettle.

So, to accurately determine the “superior room”, a personal approach is needed, since it is impossible to know in advance what this number is Superior room different from the standard.

All hotel rooms can be represented by the following classification.

standard- standard room consisting of one room.

Bedroom- a room with a bedroom. The room consists of two rooms. One of them has a bed.

Superior- the room is larger than the standard room (Standart).

Studio- single room larger than standard room with built-in kitchen.

family room- a family room, larger than a standard room.

family studio- a room for a family with two adjoining rooms.

Suite- a room larger than standard, with separate areas for the living room and bedroom, as well as with furniture and equipment High Quality.

junior suite- same Suite but improved layout.

deluxe- double one-room suite of large size, improved layout and more expensive furnishings.

executive suite- Superior room, consisting of two or more rooms.

business room- a large room with office equipment (computer, fax), suitable for work.

connected room- combined rooms with a door-passage from one room to another room.

Duplex- Double room.

Apartment- rooms close to the type of modern apartments, with places for cooking; two or more room apartment.

King Suites- luxurious hotel rooms, consisting of several rooms, bedrooms, toilets.

President Suites- the most luxurious hotel rooms, many rooms for different purposes.

Explanations...

A tourist who buys a standard tour usually finds himself in a double room ( DBL-double). Some firms, apparently not very versed in the names of the rooms themselves, are unaware that there are two types of double rooms: twin(two beds) and Extra bed, or, in other words, king size designed for a traveling couple and having one large bed.

Often two strangers settle in the room Extra bed. This is very inconvenient, especially since most often there is only one, albeit a large, blanket on one large bed.

There are more numbers Triple(TRPL), that is, a room for three. In fact, this is the usual standard Double Room where, in addition to two beds, there is also a sofa on which a third can sleep. As a rule, such rooms are provided to families with children if they take standard accommodation, and do not order family room.

If the tourist is "uncouple" or if he simply prefers to live alone, he is offered a room for a certain surcharge Single(SGL). Single same size as DBL but with one bed. It happens that one person is accommodated in a double room, the so-called Duble for Single use. It will cost 25% more for a “loner” than for a person who agrees to the presence of a neighbor.

Next come the higher class rooms. In addition to a higher price, they differ from standard rooms in size, furnishings (more expensive furniture, more expensive TV), bathroom stuffing, balcony size.

The cheapest ones are Junior Suite and De Luxe- Double one-room suites with improved layout. They are larger than standard and better furnished. Usually a hotel has only one of these views.

Somewhat more expensive (about 25%) - Suite. This is a double room, in which, in addition to the bedroom, there is also a living room. And accordingly, according to the number of rooms - two TVs. The walls in these rooms are often decorated with tapestries. And the furniture can be "a la Louis".

Some hotels have rooms business room(or VIP) - these are large rooms, with a computer and a fax. The room rate includes a number of additional services like serving tea several times a day. Often they also have a special room for negotiations.

The greatest variety of rooms - in hotels of a class not lower than four stars. Moreover, a more complete set is offered by resort hotels, that is, located on the coast or in the mountains. There, even in three-star hotels, there are often De Luxe and Suite, which are not found in the city's "three stars". But hotels in the city offer the so-called family studio- rooms consisting of two adjacent rooms.

Finally, the most expensive room types are royal ( King Suites) and presidential ( President Suites), the prerogative of five-star hotels. There are no standards here. Usually these are two or three bedrooms, an office, sometimes a security room, two or three toilets, two bathrooms, a living room. In resorts, this is also a huge balcony. There are presidential suites with a kitchen - some of the powerful like to travel with a personal chef. In some hotels, presidential suites are two-story.

By and large, if the hotel has only one such room, then it is called presidential, if there are several such rooms, then some of them are called royal.

There are no standard prices for these rooms. The price is determined only upon request to the hotel itself.

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?

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 Money .

For a visitor who wants to save money on a trip, this option has more positive aspects than negative. 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 they will not spoil their reputation with proceedings in court, 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.

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 snag of the Egyptian-Turkish resort "Superior room", that it is, basically - beautiful view. Standard rooms often overlook the road, utility yards, construction sites, and other unsightly objects. Superiors offer a sea view (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 it mean for a two-three star hotel located in a tourist European city? As a rule, standard rooms there are serviced on 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, shower gel, soap.

Types of rooms in hotels: choose a vacation to taste

Vacation is a wonderful part of everyone's life. With impatience, every employee is looking forward to the cherished date when it will be possible not to go to work, but instead get on a plane and wave to hell.
To date, tour operators offer, as a rule, two main types of recreation: sightseeing and beach. Going on the first program tour, you may not think much about the hotel, but put the main emphasis on getting positive emotions from sightseeing. But in case beach holiday you regard his choice with special attention. Everyone knows that hotels are classified by the number of stars, but within each there are different types of rooms.

Rooms for every taste

To meet the requirements of any category of vacationers, hotels offer different types of rooms. In hotels you can rent a standard, a room increased comfort(superior), deluxe (de luxe), studio or apartment, family (family room), suite (suit), honeymoon room (honeymoon room), presidential (president room), duplex or maisonette (duplex, maisonette). Obviously, the cost will be different.

standard

As a rule, this is the most inexpensive hotel room with the smallest square footage and modest furnishings. Consists of one room, bathroom and toilet. There are 1-bed and 2-bed standard rooms, but in some hotels it is possible to put an extra bed -
extra bed for triple occupancy.

Superior

Superior room types in hotels are superior: larger than a standard room, sometimes closer to the sea (if we are talking about club hotels or hotels of a combined type, when there is a main building, a high-rise building, and separate bungalows for several families). Otherwise, there are essentially no differences.

Family apartments

Family types of rooms in hotels in Turkey are of two types: family room and family studio. The first option is a one-room apartment, larger than a standard room. They can accommodate up to 4 people (as a rule). A family studio consists of two rooms and accommodates more guests than a regular family studio.

Suites

The suit category of rooms also happens different types: regular suite, junior suite, executive suite, senior suite. Such types of rooms in hotels in Greece, just like in any other country, differ from other categories in their square (they are larger and usually consist of a living room and a bedroom), they can have two bathrooms, they are distinguished by their original design (this is rather executive suite), and the furniture is expensive. It is also worth paying attention to their location in the building: as a rule, suites have good view out of the window.

Presidential Suite

These are the most expensive room types in hotels:
located in the most prestigious place (for example, almost under the roof), with a huge area, several bedrooms and living rooms and more than one bathroom. The president room is furnished with high quality furniture. Often, guests who choose these types of rooms in hotels are provided with certain privileges that brighten up their vacation: free use of a mini-bar, infrastructure that is paid for by other vacationers, etc. Needless to say, the level of service in such apartments is simply incredible?

Obviously, with such a luxurious range of rooms, every tourist can choose for himself exactly the type that will satisfy all his requirements and wishes.

Types of rooms in hotels

In the world, for the convenience of travelers and the comfortable operation of the tourism business, there is a unified classification of hotel rooms with clear designations and characteristics.

Classification of accommodation types

SNGL(single - “single”) - obviously, if a person travels alone, then he will have to use a single room with one bed.

Sgl - how to understand it? Dbl - what is it? Types of accommodation in hotels and their interpretation

Going on vacation, a business trip, just to another city or country, in most cases we choose a hotel as a place of residence. And when choosing a room on the websites of travel agencies or hotels themselves, various designations such as sgl, trpl, dbl are always indicated. What's this? What is the difference between the numbers? This article will help you to understand these questions.

Organized tourism, as a separate industry, appeared in 1841. This is associated with the founding of the first travel agency by Thomas Cook. At the same time, a unified system for classifying hotel rooms was introduced.

Some regions (such as Asia or Europe) may have their own distinctive features, and therefore their classification system may be nuanced. But for the most part, it is very universal and almost always suitable for all countries and cities.

Therefore, when you see various abbreviations, and you have questions: “Sgl - how to understand this? Dbl - what is it? Apt - what's special about it? - just open the transcript, and everything will become very clear.

So, decryption:

ADLT (Adult) - adult.

CHLD (Child) - a child.

INF (Infant) - a child under two years old.

Sometimes this is indicated separately, in the description of the numbers next to the abbreviation. It will be easier to understand: for example, if ADLT + CHLD is written in the DBL room, what does it mean - an adult and a child in a double room. But in most cases, an adult is always meant. If necessary, this can be clarified with the tour operator or the hotel administration.

STD (Standart) - standard size number.

Superior - a room with an area larger than STD.

Suite - a room with an area larger than the STD and with improved furnishings (may include a living room and a separate bedroom).

Family Room - a room in which a family can live (it can be two-room).

Studio - a room with a room and a small kitchen in it.

APT (Apatrments) - two / three-room suite with a kitchen. Also can be one or 2 bedrooms (1 BDRM/2 BDRM).

Luxe/De Luxe - suite with increased level comfort.

Honeymoon Room - a room especially for newlyweds.

BGL (Bungalow) / Cottage / Cabana - bungalow (small separate house) / cottage / cottage on the beach.

Corner Room - room in the corner.

Balcony - a room with a balcony.

Business - a room equipped with a computer, printer, fax.

Connected - a number adjacent to a neighbor.

Duplex - two-story room.

President - a presidential class room (considered the most luxurious rooms).

ROH (Run Of House) - accommodation upon arrival.

SGL (Single) - a number designed for one person (sometimes referred to as "accommodation SGL").

DBL (Double) - a room designed for two people (one double bed, sometimes referred to as "DBL accommodation").

DBL+EX BED (Extra bed) – one bed for a child has been added to the DBL room.

TWN (Twin) - room with double occupancy (two single beds).

TRPL (Triple) - a room with triple occupancy.

It is always very convenient to have a transcript at hand, because you can immediately understand if, for example, dbl is indicated that this is a room with a double bed, and if it is EX BED, that an extra bed for a child has been added.

There is also a distribution of rooms according to the views from the window:

B.V. (Beach view) - view from the room to the beach area.

CV (city view) - view from the room on the city part.

GV (Garden view) - to the garden section.

MV (Mountain view) - mountain view from the room.

PV (Pool view) - part of the hotel with a swimming pool.

RV (river view) - view from the room to the area with the river.

SV (Sea view) - to the sea coast.

VV (Valley view) - view from the room to the valley.

Now, having a clear understanding of what sgl means, what dbl means and other abbreviations, you can easily understand what numbers are offered and choose the most suitable option.

Room types
1. Standard room (standard room) - as a rule, in Egyptian hotels all rooms are standard. The only difference is how many beds and residents are in the room. Depending on this, there are various names (single, double, double + extra bed)
Single - a standard number for use by one resident. The surcharge for this service is approximately 30-60%.
Double - standard room for 2 residents. It can have 2 single beds or 1 double bed for couples.
Double + extra bed - the name speaks for itself. This means that a separate rollaway bed will be provided for the child.
There is a type of room called triple - it implies the presence of 3 full beds, but it is rather difficult to find such rooms in hotels in Egypt.
If you book a room for 3 people, we advise you to inquire in advance whether you will be assigned a room with 3 beds or whether you will still be given an extra rollaway bed.
Connecting rooms are 2 standard rooms connected by doors. Very convenient if you are traveling with a large family, then you can put children in a separate room, such rooms are also popular with large companies. We recommend when booking (if you are a family with 2 children) to act according to the scheme 2 single + 2 children. Then the accommodation of children, as a rule, is free. The age of children covered by this rule may also be different in different hotels. Usually this is 12 years old, but it can be 14 or 6 years old.
Bungalows are detached small buildings on the territory of the hotel, with several rooms. You can have a separate entrance, a small lawn adjacent to your terrace and other advantages over rooms located in the main building. Accommodation in such a room can also cost extra money and you should take care of this in advance.
2. Suite (junior, family, executive, president, superior) - we can say that these are “improved layout” rooms. This does not mean that instead of one room there will necessarily be two. It is possible that the room will have a better location, it will have a large terrace or a bathroom instead of a shower.
3. Presidential - the prerogative of five-star hotels. There are no standards here. Usually in such a room there are two or three bedrooms, an office, sometimes a guard room, two or three toilets, two bathrooms, a living room. There are presidential suites with a kitchen. In some hotels, presidential suites are two-story.

In conclusion, I would like to say that when choosing a hotel, you need to remember that the price is still a good indicator. There are many examples where two 4-star hotels can differ from each other.

What do abbreviations mean when you look at prices for holidays in hotels? SGL etc.

SV (Sea View) - room with sea view. Always more expensive than pool or street view. The difference can be impressive, say 20 euros per day. So it is quite possible to save on the view from the window. Hotels can charge similar surcharges for a lake view (Lake View) or mountains (Mountain View) - in general, for what you can admire from the window. Creek View - stream view, Park View - park view, Pool View - pool view, Garden View - garden view.

SSV (Sea side view) - a room with a side view of the sea. That is, your balcony or window will not look directly at the wide water surface, but you can still see the sea.

Chalet superior GV - an oversized chalet overlooking the garden. (GV - Garden View).

Deluxe Main SSV - suite in the main building, with a side sea view.
