Types of Hotel Rooms

What are the Types of Rooms in Hotels

Here’s the list of different room types found in hotels:

1. Single Room

A single room has one single bed for single occupancy. An additional bed (called an extra bed) may be added to this room at the request of a guest and charged accordingly.

The size of the bed is normally 3 feet by 6 feet. However, the concept of single rooms is vanishing nowadays. Mostly, hotels have twin or double rooms, and the charge for a single room is occupied by one person.

2. Twin Room

A twin room has two single beds for double occupancy. An extra bed may be added to this room at the request of a guest and charged accordingly. Here the bed size is normally 3 feet by 6 feet. These rooms are suitable for sharing accommodation among a group of delegates meeting.

3. Double Room

A double room has one double bed for double occupancy. An extra bed may be added to this room at the request of a guest and charged accordingly. The size of the double bed is generally 4.5 feet by 6 feet.

4. Triple Room

A triple room has three separate single beds and can be occupied by three guests. This type of room is suitable for groups and delegates of meetings and conferences.

5. Quad Room

A quad room has four separate single beds and can accommodate four persons together in the same room.

10. Interconnecting Room
