When booking a hotel room on one of the popular Internet services, the domestic traveler is often perplexed by the many incomprehensible words. What to choose: "twin" or "double", so as not to spoil the long-awaited vacation and get good impressions from the trip as a whole?
Definition
TwinIs a double room in a hotel with two single beds.
DoubleIs a hotel room with one double bed.
Comparison
In most countries in Europe, Asia, Latin and Anglo-America, it is customary to classify hotels by stars, and rooms by the number of people who should be staying in them. For example, the Single room is designed for one traveler, so no one will be accommodating or delivering beds there for a super-economical traveler. Family room, or family room, is ready to host a family. To do this, it prepares four single beds or one double and two singles, which is very convenient for parents traveling with two or three children.
Twin room
The most popular are Twin room and Double room. Twin room, or twin, assumes the presence of two single beds in the room. The guest in the room can live alone or with a colleague, relative, friend. The hotel charges the price for the entire room, and not for the bed, as was customary in the "soviet" sanatoriums and their followers on the Black Sea coast. If your booking form says “Twin Room: Single Occupancy”, then only one person will receive breakfast. At the same time, tourists can live together, paying extra for lunch if desired. If the size of the room allows, a rollaway bed can be delivered to the Twin room without changing the cost of living. In some hotels you still have to pay extra for an extra bed. It is better to specify such details individually for each hotel.
Double room Double room, or double, assumes the presence of one double bed in the room. In most cases, such numbers are chosen by married couples. If there are extra square meters in the room, one folding bed or baby bed can be added to it.
Conclusions site
- The Twin room initially has two beds, and the Double room has one.
- Double rooms are more often taken by couples, and friends, colleagues and relatives who want to save money on two rooms are settled in the Twin room.
- A Twin room in the same hotel costs a little more than a Double room.
The word twin has two different meanings: the first is one of the types of fabric, the second is double hotel room... In this article, we will tell you in more detail what twin is in both senses of the term.
Twin like fabric
The word twin from English is translated as a twisted thread ("twine"). In the encyclopedic dictionary, twin is a low grade woolen cotton fabric, one-color, made using the twill weave technique.
In the Big Explanatory Dictionary of D.N.Ushakov, the definition of twin is about the same, however, it is not reported that twin is necessarily a low-grade fabric, in addition, it is noted that, as a rule, this material is used in the manufacture of outerwear and dresses.
In the New Dictionary of the Russian Language, T.F. Efremova, twin is a plain dyed cotton or half-woolen fabric.
Twin like a hotel room
Twin word recent times often used in travel companies to describe a double hotel room. It is important to understand the differences between a double and a twin room. Both assume the presence of two beds, however, a double room can have either one double bed or two single beds. A twin room will definitely have two single beds, and often a twin even consists of two rooms. Twin - great option economical living for two people who are not in close relationships.

Not always.
Sometimes a room with two beds is billed as a DBL for booking.
When booking dBL numbers in Spanish hotels, I specifically wrote off with the hotels to find out if they have rooms with two beds. To which one hotel told me that they have ALL rooms with two beds.
:-))
There may be all rooms with 2 beds, but in Double they move, and in Twin they stand separately.
Some hotels even ask to warn them if they need separate beds, for example, if you are not traveling with relatives or for work with colleagues.
Quote:
Yes, of course, but two beds, even if pushed together, are not at all the same as
Quote: ;-))
And if I am traveling, for example, with a friend, I still prefer to sleep on a separate bed, albeit one moved to another one. And if with a boyfriend - then on one "big-big". Although the blankets can be separately. ;-))
Twin - separate beds.
Double - either one large, or two shifted together. Maybe so and so.
I have not seen one common blanket anywhere, always two separate ones.
Sometimes, when booking a double room, you are asked to indicate whether you need one large bed or two. But at the bottom there is always a postscript that "the option is available if such a number is available at the time of arrival." So if the hotel has both options for double occupancy, it's still a lottery. But in a double, even two beds are pushed together, and in a twin, they stand separately.
Quote:
There is one thing in common.
But you can always ask for an extra blanket.
Or sometimes there is a spare in the room in the closet, like pillows.
Quote:
Booked a twin room. The beds were pushed together.
My friend and I did not move them apart. True, first I took her word that she would not bother me at night. ;-))

Who live in one room ?!
I was hoping before the business trip, the operating director said: "From the economy it is better if we take a double room than two singles."
To which I replied that, out of savings, it would be better if none of us fly there in principle: British Airways business class tickets cost significantly more than three nights in a hotel, not to mention the twenty-dollar difference between the sum of the cost of two singles and the cost one "double" number.
So we settled in a separate double "single use" each.
But this is Russian, who may have wishes to live with a colleague.
But I don't remember foreigners from our own office ever settling in two in a room.
I wish I had a shower after someone else. Well this is not a swimming pool, not a water park, not a thermal bath or a public bath. And someone else's drop on MY toilet can generally plunge me into depression.
Once on an airplane, I met two young people. We flew to Italy: I was on an excursion tour, and the guys were to travel on their own.
We met with them again at the airport before the return flight. So, they said that before each check-in at hotels along the route (in each of which they had a double room booked) they were asked if they were partners. Just in the sense of beds - one common or two separately?
To which they answered in unison that they were just friends. ;-))
For some reason, it is believed that two straight men cannot go on a trip together.

Do you never use a public toilet?

In Barcelona, \u200b\u200ba hotel room for us was booked by a friend of mine through the booking system http://skoosh.com/. There, at the selection stage, it was possible to request a Queen / King size bed.
True, the bed turned out to be not "big, very large", but simply big. Not king-size at all. ;-))
Only once did I meet in a double matrimonial bed ... with a common blanket ... In San Marino. Such, I can tell you, of immense dimensions tra-ohm. Fortunately, there were still three different-sized beds, where my friend went to sleep.
And so usually shifted bunks, often with a common headboard, with two blankets. For all occasions, so to speak.
Since I travel alone more often, I somehow don't care, I still have two chairs ... that is. you won't sleep on two beds. The room would be spacious.
Schaz they confess to you.

At night? No panties and bare feet? (Option: in hotel slippers) No.

I know many other options for saving corporate expenses.
At the same time, I am not homophobic at all, I just value convenience and comfort.
Traveling on a train in the same compartment with an overnight stay is an ordeal for me.
I could sleep with farting men in the same room only in the army, but those two years were destined for me to spend by the Constitution of the USSR. And right now, why should I?
