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, a folding sofa, a folding bed or even a mattress thrown on the floor.

Advice: always check which extra bed you will be provided with.

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

Adults are designated 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 luck system - whatever happens. Since they won’t give you a room worse than a standard one anyway, you can consider this accommodation as being in a standard room, or maybe you’ll be lucky and get a deluxe :)

Views from the room

These designations are very easy to understand - the second word view (often abbreviated V) denotes the view, and the first word where this view goes. 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. It's rarely quiet around the pool.

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

Ocean view- ocean view

SSV, Side Sea view- side sea view. This means that there may be a 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- view of the park

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

Hotel room types

There are a huge number of them, you can’t say anything exact about the number by name, you can only understand that the simplest number is usually

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

The next in rank, as a rule, is the Superior room - usually a little larger than the standard one.

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

Family room- family room, usually designed to accommodate at least 4 people

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

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

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

Deluxe room - a room in a hotel of increased comfort, the price is higher than usual. Deluxe room, translated into Russian as Deluxe room, is radically different from the hotel standard.

Usually the ratio of Deluxe room hotel rooms to the rest in percentage terms is 20 to 80. But if you are in a Deluxe 5* hotel, then all of it has Deluxe rooms - there are simply no rooms of a lower class there.

More details about Deluxe room

The first is the area. It is larger than in the superior room. True, its size depends on the star rating of the hotel - if the number of five-pointed ones is less, then the number of square meters can be equal to 20. But with five stars and above, you are guaranteed a truly royal mansion.

Now let's look at the filling - what does a deluxe room mean in terms of furniture, appliances, view from the window, general comfort.

The price of a Deluxe room depends on the panoramic view from the windows or balcony - the garden (room garden), the sea (deluxe sea view), the surrounding area (land view), a view of the pool, usually located in the interior of the hotel (pool view) and etc.

Type and level of comfort Deluxe room

The Deluxe room is available in a family version - Family. What distinguishes it from the usual one is the presence of an additional room with a bed located in it. Family deluxe room is suitable for a large company or a family of more than two people.

So, let's return to the fullness of the issue:

1. good quality double bed (or two single beds);
2. orthopedic mattresses, elite quality bedding;
3. high-quality stylish furniture;
4. a bathroom with all the ensuing amenities (importantly, it’s not just a cabin with a shower, but a bathtub);
5. premium household appliances (plasma TV, split system, minibar and refrigerator, hairdryer, electric kettle made of environmentally friendly material;
6. a lot of little things that are pleasing to the eye, dear to the heart and useful.

Deluxe room by default has an increased degree of comfort - excellent quality renovations, stylish interior design, an additional soft, chic sofa. If necessary, it can be unfolded and accommodate one person.

If you find yourself in a high-star hotel, then your Deluxe room will be about 40 meters in area, which means that the relaxation area will be equipped with an additional elegant table and chairs - there will be more comfort.

Greetings, friends! 🙂 In what cases might a person need hotel accommodation? Do you think only on vacation? But no. It happens that even in your own city there is a need to rent a hotel room. Happens. . We won’t go into details; the reasons are different for everyone.

Hotel room with courtyard view

What is the greatest value of a hotel room?

So, what guests value in hotel accommodation - it all depends on the purpose for which they came to a particular city or country. Different people have different priorities:

1. View from the windows- for vacationers who intend to lead an imposing lifestyle, to be not only on the beach, but also to enjoy the comfort indoors.
2. total area- important for families with children.
3. Number of rooms— business people prefer having a bedroom, as well as a separate room such as a study.
4. Floor— for some it is important to be on the upper tiers of the building, others prefer a low location.

We do not talk about such points as the level of service and the quality of everything that is inside, since this depends on the level of the hotel itself, that is, how many stars it is assigned.

Since we need to learn more about the Standard Room Land View category (as mentioned above, this type of housing means that hotel guests will contemplate its nearby views), let's try to guess what might be in your field of view if you go out onto the balcony .

View of the surrounding area from a room located on the 8th floor

Standard Room Land View - standard room with a view of the surrounding area of ​​the hotel

After thinking a little, you will say that in the vicinity of the hotel there may be both a sea and an ocean. Look how many wonderful hotels are located right on the coasts.

The 5 star level does not include accommodation of this type, so you will not only have a view of a prosaic area, but also a level of hotel service below 5 stars. Don't be alarmed, this is very decent quality, just not luxury.

By the way, we are talking about a Standard room with a view of the surrounding area, but there may be other types of rooms with local views from the windows:

• Deluxe room land view - improved deluxe;
• Family room land view - family;
• Promo room land view — promo category number;
• Single Room Land View - single room with a view of the surrounding area, etc.

Who is suitable for housing with a view of the surrounding area?

Let's return to the beginning of our story and remember that a hotel may be needed not only by a vacationer, but also by a business traveler who has come, for example, to a business forum. Will the view of the surroundings confuse him - of course not. . He will only spend the night in the room and clean himself up.

Now about vacationers - housing of this type is definitely more budget-friendly. . The reasons are as follows:

1. The hotel will be located a bit far from the sea.
2. From the window you will see the road, ordinary buildings or just a field.
3. You may come across a parking lot or trash containers.
4. You will probably see the hotel's courtyard and outbuildings.

Advantages of Standard Room Land View

The positive aspects include the fact that rooms of this type are mainly located in the main building, all the necessary hotel infrastructure is practically nearby.

Direct view of the surrounding area and side view of the sea

By the way, the surroundings are also different:

• you can observe the well-groomed, pleasant-looking hotel area with an abundance of greenery and flowering plants;
• if you're lucky, the Land View may have a direct view of the hotel territory and a lateral view of the sea;
• and if you are even more lucky, the room will be quiet, as the surroundings will be calm.

That's all. Comfort for you both on a business trip and on vacation. Be always healthy! 🙂

Standard Room Side Sea View (SRSSV) translates as a standard room with a side view of the sea or ocean. The room type must be specified at the time of payment or booking.

Standard Room Side Sea View - room type with side sea view. The view may be complete lateral or incomplete. The sea or ocean may also be partially visible - to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the location of the hotel itself.

This room assumes that the sea will be visible from the balcony, but only the side one. There may be obstacles in the form of trees, buildings, or part of the hotel. The price is a little more than usual, without sea view.

The mention of Sea front in the name indicates a frontal view - most likely it means a view directly to the shore itself. The range can be specified upon request.

If you have the finances, you can pay extra for a better view from the balcony. This type of room or service may contain sea view, inland view or pool view in the name.

A room with a view of the economic part of the hotel, office premises and territory may contain a back view in the name. The price is usually lower than standard.

Family suite (translation) - family apartments Family room (translation) - family room As is clear from the translation of the names, these are hotel rooms intended for families of three or more people. So what are these numbers and what is the difference between them. It is generally accepted that a family room is a one-room suite with increased square footage, and a family suite is a suite consisting of at least a dining room and a separate bedroom. But it's not that simple. Different hotels may call them differently, for example, in some hotels the family room type may consist, like a family suite, of two or even more separate rooms, but will differ in the level of repair, equipment and comfort. To summarize, we can say that Family room This is a family room consisting of one or more rooms. Often a Family room is made by combining two adjacent standard rooms, between which there is a door; they are called Connection family room. This is a family room consisting of at least two separate rooms and has better equipment and renovation. The size of Family rooms may vary - the more star-studded the hotel, the larger the room size. Typically, the minimum size of a one-room Family room is from 20-25 sq. meters, for a room consisting of two rooms - from 30 sq. meters. Family suite sizes are usually larger and start from 35-40 sq. meters. Both types of rooms often have equipped kitchens with all necessary kitchen utensils. Family rooms are very popular among travelers, especially families of three or more people. The advantages of Family suite and Family room are obvious - in addition to the fact that they have a large total footage, they will have an additional folding sofa, which will comfortably accommodate at least 3 adults (2+1AD), and in some options a bunk bed or an additional folding bed .

What are the main differences between Family room and Family suite

In addition to the difference in size, these rooms differ in equipment and level of comfort. In both types, a dining table and chairs can be placed in the dining area. The bathroom is large, fully equipped - in a family room it usually has a shower, one sink and a toilet. In addition to a shower cabin, the family suite can be equipped with a full bathtub, two sinks and even a bidet. Family suites are equipped with more modern equipment and furniture, such as beds with high-quality orthopedic mattresses and comfortable pillows that maintain the shape of the head. The room always has a minibar, two large plasma or LCD TVs (each room has its own TV), a kettle with tea accessories, and maybe a coffee machine. There may even be multimedia equipment - stations for iPod, iPhone and iPad, DVD players, satellite receivers, as well as elements of a “smart home”. In five-star hotels, Family suites will have soft bathrobes and disposable slippers for each guest. Family rooms are more simply equipped, but they are also cheaper. The room will contain all the equipment and furniture necessary for living - beds, sofa, table and chairs. There is usually only one TV and not necessarily flat. Family suites can consist of several rooms, in this case their number is indicated, for example: Family suite 2 bedroom (family suite with two bedrooms) or Family room 2 bedrooms (family room with two bedrooms), in such rooms, in addition to additional bedrooms rooms, the number of bathrooms can be increased. In turn, family rooms can differ in the type of view from the room - family suite land view, family suite sea view, family room sea view, family room garden view, etc. In addition, any hotel can give its own designations to such rooms, for example, family room standard - standard family room, family deluxe room - superior family room, bungalow family room - family room in a separate bungalow, deluxe family suite - superior family apartments or family deluxe suite and etc., the nuances and subtleties of each of them must be studied on the hotel website. A typical family suit looks something like this: Family suit room A typical family room looks something like this:
