What is a double room in a Hotel?

Hotels in the United States and the United Kingdom offer different types of rooms, which can lead to some confusion for travellers. Once I was in a hotel in the United Kingdom and asked for a queen-size bed. The employee looked at me a little confused and said, "You mean a double?" In the United States, a "double" means two beds, so I had to explain that I wanted a large bed, not two smaller ones.

I am sure similar problem is faced by British travellers when they travel to America and Europe. A "double" in the United States is two beds pushed together, while a "double" in Europe is one large bed. So, if you ask for a "double" in the United States, you will probably get two beds, but if you ask for a "double" in Europe, you will get one large bed.

Types of Rooms

In the United States, there are generally three types of rooms: standard, deluxe, and suite. A standard room is usually the smallest and least expensive, while a suite is the largest and most expensive. Deluxe rooms are in between standard and suite in terms of size and price.

The type of room you book will determine the type of bed you get. In a standard room, you will usually find either one queen-size bed or two double beds. A queen-size bed is larger than a double bed, but not as large as a king-size bed. A king-size bed is the largest size bed you can get in a hotel room.

In a deluxe room, you will usually find one king-size bed or two queen-size beds. And in a suite, you will usually find either one king-size bed or two queen-size beds, plus a separate living area with a sofa bed.

 

In the United Kingdom, there are four types of rooms: single, double, twin, and family. A single room is for one person, a double room is for two people, a twin room is for two people who will have 1 small individual bed for each, and a family room is for four or more people.

At our hotel the most common question asked by international travellers is "What is a double room in a hotel?". In the UK, a double room in a hotel is a room that can accommodate two people. The beds in a double room are usually two single beds pushed together, but they can also be one large bed (a queen or king size).

In the United Kingdom, there are also rooms called "twin rooms", which have two single beds, but these are usually for people who are travelling together and want their own beds.
