Each hotel chooses for itself how to name the categories, but if the hotel plans to operate on the international market, sell its services through GDS, the basic concepts should be presented in proposals for potential customers.
The cost package tour depends not only on the category of the hotel, but also on the type of room in the selected hotel. Hotel rooms can vary in size, which usually determines the type / category of the room, the view from the window (garden, mountain, sea / ocean views) and the location of this room (in the main building, bungalow, etc.)
For the convenience of users of the site, we present a decoding of the names of room types and our comments to them used in the quick search system for tours.
The description of each room type may differ from hotel to hotel, especially for rooms of a category higher than "standard". Below is a generally accepted definition of the type of room, but the owners of each specific hotel can put their own idea in the name of the room, which sometimes confuses tourists.
Abbreviation indicating the type / category of the room:
- Standart - a standard room is usually the simplest room category in a hotel. If in a hotel all rooms are two-room, then for this hotel they are often also defined as standart.
- Superior / Super - superior rooms may differ from standard ones either in size, or a view from the window, or additional services, or simply be renovated.
- Executive - improved number. The meaning of improvement from the standard must be specified for each specific hotel.
- Family - a family room can be either just a room with a larger area, or rooms of two rooms with or without a door, as well as simply two connected rooms (connect room). The hotel can have all kinds of family rooms. We recommend looking at the description of room types for each specific hotel.
- Junior Suite - a youth suite in a classic form is a large room from the living room and bedroom area (without a door), but in the description of some hotels you can find rooms with a door, which the hotel also refers to as a junior suite
- Duplex - room on two levels. Usually on the ground floor there is a living room and on the second bedroom. There is often no door between the first and second floors. Typically these rooms have a bathroom on each floor, but one is usually with a shower and one with a bath.
- Suite - historically a two-room suite with a door, but modern hotels do not always adhere to classical standards. for example, the Maxx Royal Belek Golf & Spa 5 * hotel in Belek (Turkey) positions itself as a suite hotel only because the simplest hotel room has an area of \u200b\u200b80 sq.m. and at the same time it is one-room and even divided into a living room and a bedroom.
Suites vary in size, number of bedrooms and living rooms. You can often find personalized suites - themed rooms, as well as Royal ( Royal Suite ) and Presidential ( Presidential Suite). You can get an idea of \u200b\u200bsome of the suites from their name, for example, Suite 1 bedroom - this is a suite with one bedroom, and accordingly Suite 2 bedroom - with two bedrooms. But, in most cases, the description of each room must be specified for each hotel separately.
- Apartment studio - one-room apartments equipped with a kitchenette. Kitchenette equipment depends on the category of apartments (in most cases the category of apartments is determined by "keys" - keys or letters category "A", 2B "," C "), for example, in an apartment complex of category 3 there will be more kitchen utensils than in complex 2 key.
- Apartment 1 bedroom - an apartment of 2 rooms, one of which is a bedroom, and the second is a living room with a built-in kitchenette.
- Apartment 2 bedroom - an apartment of 3 rooms - a living room with a kitchenette and 2 bedrooms.
Abbreviation indicating the location of the number:
- MB - Main Buildung- the main building, where the reception (reception desk) and the main restaurant of the hotel are usually located
- bungalow / cottage- detached cottages / bungalows
- ANEX - additional buildings
Also, for information, we present frequently used on hotel websites and travel companies decryption Accommodation abbreviations:
Approx. The search engine HITTRVEL.ru does not use abbreviations for placement options. For the convenience of users, the number of adults and children in the room is indicated in the accommodation column.

- TWIN - double room in two separate beds
- TRPL - triple occupancy
