What kind of a miracle room is this? And why do the operators unanimously claim that the "Superior room" is much more comfortable?
The category of this room follows immediately after the simple category commonly referred to as"standard".
It is worth considering, maybe you will get comfortable conditions, excellent service and additional services?
Let's dwell on this in more detail: a huge number of countries in the world and their hotels fill their rooms in completely different ways.
It depends on the:
From the type of hotel
How many stars does the hotel have?
From the state and the city where the hotel is located.
The name of the room "Superior room" can be translated into Russian as " improved room"
Then the question may reasonably arise, "improved" with what exactly is improved?
An overnight stay in a cheap hostel or a simple hotel room?
As a rule, the hotel administration is busy with the improvement of the room. Often a situation may arise that in five-star or luxury hotels, the cheapest room will be "Superior room".
In the Soviet Union, hotel rooms were subdivided into four-bed, three-bed, double, single. recent times imitating Western trends, junior suites, suites, or, as they are called in Europe, "Executive" and "Superior room" began to appear.
However, in our penates, hotel rooms are restored in the following way: they will somehow touch up, change the windows, put fresh curtains and voila - the suite is waiting for its guests. For this reason, it is better to take care of and ask about the advantages and disadvantages of a hotel room in advance.
In those countries where preference is given to sea travel, rooms like the "Superior room" have an undoubted advantage, since the view from the window is truly magical, on white beaches, to the endless ocean, to transparent pools, to shady gardens. However, if you decided to save money and settled in a "standart" room, then through the window you can see a good view of the courtyard closed on all sides, the road, a huge construction site, a parking lot, etc.
Many Superior rooms open onto a terrace. Some hotels offer a "superior villa" or "superior chalet", then this room will have additional small rooms and even its own kitchen. Without a doubt, this is a huge advantage, especially if you went on a trip with a small child.
V European cities"superior room" is very different from those countries that are located on the equator. European service is beyond praise, regardless of the number. Although, if you compare the room type "standart" and "Superior room", the difference will be visible to the naked eye. Regular number has dimensions, usually 9-10 sq. m, and the "superior room" is already 18-25 sq.m. In addition, the advanced room will have tea, kettle, sugar and coffee.
169 years have passed since the advent of organized tourism - the first travel agency in history was opened in 1841 by Thomas Cook. At the same time, few people know about the unified classification system for hotel rooms: if the official star rating of hotels in most countries has already been sorted out, then with the rooms everything is somewhat more complicated.
Of course, almost every hotel, the category of which is higher than two or three stars, can offer its guests standard, deluxe and suite rooms. But the quality and quantity of services provided in them may vary even within the same hotel. And this is because there are various characteristics of the views from the windows, the functional purpose of the rooms (family, business) and even design (for example, the Mediterranean suite in blue tones or the Caribbean in bright and tropical).
One thing is for sure: a standard room in any hotel in the world should be one small room with a bed, a separate shower room, a small wardrobe and a TV. Each room's bathroom should also have a standard set of towels, soap and shower gel. By the way, in some countries, for example, in China, this set is always complemented by a comb, toothbrush and paste.
Common abbreviations
To begin with, it will be useful to understand for yourself the generally accepted abbreviations adopted by hoteliers around the world. If DBL (from the English "double" - double) or SGL ("single" - one, single), as a rule, do not cause any difficulties to anyone, then such ciphers as DUS (double use single - double number, which is used as single) or BG GV (bungalow garden view) can mislead even the most sophisticated tourist.
Let's talk about the main abbreviations used in the hotel environment.
Accommodation types and their classification
DBL: classic double room with double bed.
TWIN: same as DBL, but with twin beds.
SGL: classic single room.
TRPL (Tripl) : Triple room.
QDPL (Quadripl) : four-bed room.
Apt (Apartment) : - a two- or three-room suite (sometimes there are more rooms) with a kitchenette or a full kitchen. The number of bedrooms is indicated as follows: 1 BDRM and 2 BDRM - respectively, 1 and 2 bedrooms.
If you need an extra bed in the room, then you need the abbreviation EXB (extra bed).
+1 CHD: plus the child, in brackets - the child's age (2-6) or (6-12). If the child is under two years old, then he is designated as INF (Infant) ... Two children, respectively +2 CHD , etc.
“+ CHD” can be preceded by both the above abbreviations (DBL, TWIN, SGL, TRPL, QDPL), and denoting the number of adults in a slightly different way: 2 ADL or 2 AD , where 2 is the number, and ADL or AD is Adult, which means "adult" in English.
Numbers and their classification
Standard (STD) : Standart room.
Superior: slightly larger than the standard room.
Family room: family room, often consisting of two rooms.
Suite (STE) : in general, this is a room with a room and a separate seating area (in fact, with two rooms). In turn, it is divided into several subcategories: Mini (slightly better than Superior), Junior (a room and a separate sitting area or a fenced-off sleeping place), Senior (room superior comfort with a full bedroom and living room), King and Executive (with two bedrooms).
Studio: one-room suite with a small kitchenette.
Luxe(sometimes De Luxe): does not need translation, this is a room with a high level of comfort.
Honeymoon room: special room for newlyweds.
In order to indicate which beds are in a room, some designations also apply: rooms with "king beds" Kingsize Bed ( K; more than 180 cm wide), Queen Bed ( Q), simple double beds Double Bed ( D; accordingly, if the room is equipped with two beds - there will be an abbreviation 2D).
The location of the rooms relative to the hotel

Standart room
If the theater starts with a coat rack, then the hotel starts with a regular standard room (STD). It is for his appearance you can get a completely adequate idea of the level of the hotel, the number and quality of services provided in it. All standard rooms can be divided into doubles (doubles) and singles (singles). Sometimes a triple (triple) is added to the palette of rooms, but more often the hotel administration offers an extra bed in a double room.
Depending on the star rating of the hotel, they can vary greatly. For example, a traditional single in a 2 * hotel will be very small in size, barely accommodating a bed, bedside table and wardrobe. In addition, the price of accommodation will include cleaning no more than once a day (if you are lucky, or even less often), as well as a change of linen and towels every 3-5 days. The set in the bathroom will be minimal: a towel, soap and sometimes shower gel.
A completely different picture will appear before a vacationer in a single five-star hotel. Large comfortable bed, armchair, table with mirror, daily cleaning, full cosmetic set in the bathroom, including all kinds of fragrant soaps and shower caps, hairdryer, fluffy bathrobes and slippers, marble floors and TV with satellite channels.
Of course, the cost of such rooms varies greatly, even within the same hotel. This is not least influenced by the view from the window. Traditionally, scenic views of the sea, ocean, mountains or garden are considered the most expensive.
The only thing that unites hotel rooms all over the world in some kind, but a system - a star classification, which obliges hotels to comply with a certain minimum area of their rooms and a set of services in them. So, for example, in Iceland, a double room in a 3 * hotel must be at least 18 sq. m, single room - 14. In a 4 * hotel, the area of a double room should be no less than 24 square meters. m, and for one - 16 sq. m. In five-star hotels, doubles can boast of 26 square meters, while singles - 18.
Also, everything is clearly spelled out by the Germans. All rooms in tourist class hotels 1 * must be equipped with a hot shower and color TV, an area of 8 and 12 sq. m. in single and double rooms, respectively. 2 * - 12 and 16 sq. m, 3 * - 14 and 18 sq. m, 4 * - 16 and 22 sq. m, luxury rooms in 5 * hotels must be at least 18 and 26 sq. m.
In addition, it should be noted that a full-fledged bathroom, and not a shower cabin, can only be expected from hotels of the 3 * level and above. When booking doubles, you should also be careful: after all, they are divided according to the type of bed - one double in the room (usually designated as DBL) or two single beds (TWIN).
In hotels in the USA, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, you can also find this type of room as moderate (MOD). It can not be classified as either a suite, or a suite, or a standard one - rather, it is something in between, close to STD. In Europe, the designations of such rooms as superior (SUP) - "improved" are more common.
Suite
Suite (which is also periodically called "suite" or "suite") comes from the English word suite, the translation of which means " kit"Or" set ".
There are different suites: junior, standard, senior, executive, royal, as well as any that the hotelier decided to implement. Starting from the "Mediterranean", "Caribbean" or suite for the newlyweds, and ending with the "ambassadorial".
The lowest level in the hierarchy of suites is occupied by the junior (from the English "junior"). Its area is approximately 20-25 sq. m, which is slightly larger than a standard room, and it consists of one room, divided into two zones: relaxation and living room. And yet, the difference between junior suites and traditional rooms, in addition to size, is significant: satellite TV, DVD, Internet access, mini-bar and other options.
The standard suite is a two-room suite of 25-40 sq. m. It has the same filling as in the junior, the only difference is in the size, including the bathroom.
He is followed by the senior ("senior") or the executive, or the president (president suite). Accordingly, these are the most luxurious rooms in the hotel, which occupy from 3 to 7 rooms, have a private pool, sauna, entrance, butler, and so on.
Recently, suites are becoming a fashion trend, and many hotels specialize exclusively in such rooms. For example, Hilton has a chain of Embassy Suites hotels, the number of rooms of which consists exclusively of suites.
Suite
Suite (LUX), abbreviated from the English "luxury" - "luxury, luxurious". Accordingly, suites are the most luxurious and, as a rule, only 4-5 * hotels have. Thanks to the recommendation of the World Tourism Organization, the suites range from 30-35 sq. m, sometimes they consist of several rooms: a bedroom and a living room.
The cost of living per night in a suite is usually twice as much as in a standard room. But for this substantial premium, the hotels offer their guests luxurious decoration and furnishings of rooms, picturesque views from the window, a spacious bathroom with a Jacuzzi, fluffy towels and bathrobes, and high-quality cosmetics. Sometimes the price of a suite includes free use of the minibar, swimming pool, fitness center. In addition, suites are sometimes deliberately placed on separate floors with their own recreation, lobby, spa and restaurant.
In the Caribbean, USA, Mexico and some others, these numbers are also called deluxes (DLX).
Apartments
In simple terms, there are two types of apartments: simpler / cheaper and luxurious / expensive. This fact depends on the stardom of the hotel. If this is a high-level hotel, then most likely apartments in it will mean very expensive and comfortable rooms for discerning guests. Such apartments cannot be classified: they are unique even within the same hotel, the only thing that unites them is the size, which starts from two rooms and ends on two floors. And their design depends only on the riot of the hotelier's imagination.
Hotels from 2 to 4 stars, as well as specialized apart-hotels, on the other hand, offer guests fairly budget rooms for a large number of guests. This can be, for example, a two-room apartment for four tourists.
Almost every apartment has a separate bedroom, its own living room, a large full bathroom and a full kitchen or cooking corner. In addition, depending on its class - economy, luxury or business - they differ in furniture and services provided. For example, luxury apartments, in addition to chic furnishings and an abundance of modern technology, offer their guests the services of a personal butler, massage in the room, a security guard, a private car with a driver and a special menu: dietary, with a unique wine list, and so on. Business apartments, as a rule, guarantee peace and quiet for guests, high speed internet, office equipment - in a word, everything you need for full-fledged work.
Rooms for newlyweds
They are distinguished by romantic design, large bed and bathroom with Jacuzzi, as well as specialized service - unique in each hotel. In addition to classic champagne and fruit in the room, some hotels in the Maldives offer unusual events wedding ceremonies on the beach or a desert island, free spa access or candlelit dinner on a yacht.
In the most romantic city in the world (we are talking, of course, about Paris) Hotel Four Season George V invites newlyweds to stay in the Honeymoon Suite, which is located on the top eighth floor. Needless to say, the honey suite's terrace offers stunning views of the Eiffel Tower? And the Bellaggio hotel in Las Vegas offers newlyweds gourmet chocolate made according to a special “love” recipe.
In a word, today rooms for newlyweds can be found in almost all major cities of the world, mostly in 4-5 * hotels.
Bungalow
Bungalow rooms are usually located in isolated small one- or two-story buildings, scattered throughout the hotel complex. Each building has 2-4 bungalows, and they can be deluxe or superior class, standard or luxurious suites. This type of placement is found, for the most part, on beach resorts- in Greece, Turkey, popular countries South-East Asia. Of course, a night in a bungalow is much more expensive than in a standard room (located in the main building of the hotel). They are usually chosen by lovers of silence and solitude.
Villa
This type of accommodation is exclusively for wealthy, discerning clients who value privacy and independence. As a rule, villas are comfortably located somewhere near the main entertainment and infrastructure of the main building of the hotel or hotel complex, while providing maximum comfort for their guests. One-, two-story luxury lodges with their own pools, saunas and gardens also offer guests the services of personal butlers, secretaries or chefs. You can rent a villa both on long term(a month or two), and for the traditional two weeks, while the price does not depend on the number of residents.
Which room to live in, which house to choose for the vacation period is up to you. And we hope that this article will allow you not to get lost in the world of hotel abbreviations and book exactly what you and your family will need. Turister.ru wishes you a pleasant stay!
Choosing a hotel abroad for the first time, you feel confused. Mysterious abbreviations and foreign names can confuse anyone.
What are the suites with their diversity? Let's figure out what types of rooms there are in hotels, and what is the interpretation of the generally accepted conventions.
Usually it is single ( SNGL, single) or double room ( DBL). The simplest option is the standard ( STD). This is a typical single room, no frills, but with amenities. It is by what hotels offer to fill rooms of this class that one can judge the category of the hotel.
In five-star hotels, even "standards" are furnished with furniture good quality, guests are served by sommeliers and florists, and the minimum "living" area is 16 square meters. For those who have little space, there are Superior, with similar furnishings, but larger.
If one room is not enough for living, then you can choose a room with a bedroom ( BDR or BDRM, decryption - Bedroom). Or double De Luxe with expensive furnishings. For lovers of open space and culinary experiments, there is Studio... This is a large room, combined with a kitchen, without partitions.
For family or company
Going on a trip with a family, it will be convenient to accommodate in a triple ( TRPL) or four-bed room ( QDPL, quadriple, quarter), or even better - in apartments ( Appartment, Apt). It is like your own apartment, consisting of an entrance hall, kitchen, living room and bedrooms.
- Do not miss:
Family Studio differs from Studio a separate bedroom, the living room is combined with the kitchen. As you can see, even if you speak English well, sometimes you can only indirectly understand the purpose of the types of rooms in hotels and their decoding.
Mysterious suites
The suites deserve a separate discussion ( Suite). These rooms have a living room and a bedroom, they are distinguished by increased comfort and homeliness. The suites have their own division into categories. Suite Mini- one-room. Junior Suite- also one-room, divided into a recreation area and a living room. Senior Suite- ideal for two, often consisting of a bedroom with a large bed, a living room and two bathrooms.
Executive Suite- look like Senior Suite, but larger, sometimes with two bedrooms. Royal Suite or King suite- a royal suite with several bedrooms, dining rooms or living rooms. Presidential Suite- the most expensive and luxurious offer in the hotel, it consists of many bedrooms, living rooms, offices and even meeting rooms.
- It is interesting:
By purpose and location
There are also room types that differ in purpose. For example, romantic rooms for newlyweds Honeymoon room or with a corner for businessmen - Business Room.
The arrangement of the rooms can also give a name. Connected Rooms- rooms, united by a common door, in our opinion - walk-through rooms. Corner Room means a corner room. Name Balcony Room- notifies about the presence of a balcony.
Duplex- a chic two-story room. Definition Sitting Area means there is a seating area. This is usually a coffee table surrounded by comfortable armchairs or sofas.

Why is it not so in Turkey and Egypt?
The types of rooms in hotels in Turkey and Egypt, as well as their decoding, are no different from the generally accepted one. And the frequent questions of tourists related to this are just a delusion caused by the fact that in these countries the reality often does not correspond to what is seen in the photo.
In fact, there are only slight differences in the size of the room and its decoration. For example, the "standard" is usually designed for a modest but comfortable stay for one person. In Turkey and Egypt, they are made more spacious, for two, and sometimes with the ability to accommodate an additional child or even two.
Family room in Turkish it is a two-room suite, but the second room can be without windows and resemble a pantry in size. Do not forget that Turkey is enough popular destination, therefore, the rooms in some hotels may have traces of "worn out" and because of this the name does not always correspond to the declared one.
When choosing the type of room in hotels in Turkey, you should pay attention not only to the decoding, but also to the category of the hotel and reviews of vacationers. In order not to get into a mess, check in advance what the managers of a certain hotel understand by the designations “ suite" or De Luxe... Sometimes, even in two five-star hotels, rooms of the same type can have significant differences.
