The abbreviations that are used in the offers of international hotels are not always fully understood by the Russian traveler. For example, a twin number - what is it? Let's look at the features.
What does twin number mean?
Twin is a double room in a hotel, a hotel with 2 separate beds. This differs from double (Double). The latter is also a double room, but it has one large shared double bed.
So what is this twin number? This is a placement in a room with two identical beds (English twins - "twins").
Hotel Twin Room: Features
If you travel the world often, you probably noticed that international hotels are classified by stars, but their rooms are by the number of guests staying there. For example, a single (Single) is the placement of only one traveler. Some sharing, the substitution of extra beds is prohibited here.
But the family room accepts only families. It can be installed one double and two single or four single beds. It is very convenient for tourists traveling as a friendly family.
But what is this - twin number? Along with the double, the most popular of all the presented accommodation options. Who is it useful for? For traveling together with a friend, colleague, girlfriend, buddy, relative, child, parent and other persons with whom, by moral principles, it is impossible to sleep in the same bed. In this case, the option allows you to be in the same room with your companion, which is very convenient.
Be careful, the price for tween is charged for the entire room, and not for the bed. In addition, if your documents, for example, indicate "twin: single occupancy", then it is only supposed to cover breakfast for one tourist. You can live together, if you wish, having bought a second breakfast. Sometimes a third guest can provide an extra rollaway bed for free or for a fee. Such details are already specified in the administration of a particular hotel.
Thus, the main difference between tween and double is that in the first there are two single beds, and in the second - one double. From here, two friends, relatives, colleagues, acquaintances traveling together choose twin, and double - married couples, lovers. It should also be noted that accommodation in Twin will be slightly more expensive for you than in Double.
Other accommodation options
We learned that this is a twin, double, single, family room. Let's look at other placement options:
- Triple (triple) - triple occupancy (often with an extra rollaway bed).
- Extra Bed - double and triple accommodation with extra bed.
- Child - inclusion in the price of a child up to twelve years of age. Characteristic for single and double. Maybe for two children - 2Child.
- ROH (run of house) - placing a guest at the discretion of the hotel in a room of any class. This is an option for those who like to try their luck - you can be in the usual standard, as well as in empty deluxe apartments.
We found out that international hotels share their rooms according to the number of guests staying. Twin in this classification is comfortable twin bedding for two non-gender related travelers.
