With a c what does it mean. Superior is a superior room at an affordable price. "Superior room" translation of designation and main criteria

When planning any trip, the question of accommodation always arises. Many hotels are ready to offer an infinite variety of rooms, from which, often, you do not know what to expect.

Unified world classification standards hotel rooms, unfortunately, does not exist, but figure out which number is hidden under this or that name (for example, superior room- that it is) is possible.

Hotel room categories

In Russian hotels, rooms are divided into a couple of different categories: higher and standard.

The highest

Suite(Suite). Upscale hotel room with an area of 75 m². The suite consists of at least three rooms. One of the mandatory requirements is a separate guest toilet.

In addition to the bedroom, the suite must have a living room and a separate office, or visually separated from the living room space.

Apartment(Apartment). The area of this room starts at 40 m². Requirements: at least two rooms, and a kitchen area must be present.
Suite(Luxe). A room that can comfortably accommodate two people. Consists of a bedroom (sometimes more than one) and a living room. The area of the Suite is not less than 35 m².
Junior Suite(Junior Suite). This is a one-room suite, the convenient layout of which visually delimits the space into a sleeping area and a living room. Junior Suite area not less than 25 m².
Studio(Studio). One room with a kitchen area. The area of the Studio is not less than 25 m².

Standard

All rooms of the standard category are one-room.

The difference lies in the number of beds, the presence or absence of a bathroom in the room.

1st category(otherwise - standard). Designed to accommodate one or two people. The room has a toilet room.
2nd category... It differs from the 1st category in the presence of an incomplete bathroom (sink and toilet).
3rd category... The number of people staying in this room depends on the number of beds. But at least 6 m² must be allocated for each tenant. The room is equipped with either an incomplete bathroom or one full bathroom for several rooms.
4th category... It differs from the room of the 3rd category by the presence of only a washbasin.
5th category... In the rooms of the fifth category, a bathroom is not provided at all. The washbasin is located in the hallway.

Hotel room classification - transcript and translation

Rooms in foreign countries may differ in classification and requirements from Russian standards.

According to European standard

Window view - symbols

In resort countries, there is also a classification of rooms according to the view from the windows. Usually an abbreviation is added to the name of the room, for example, Deluxe, for example, Gv(Garden View), informing about what kind of view awaits you from the windows of this room. Deluxe GV is a Deluxe room with a garden view.

Let's figure out what types are hidden under certain abbreviations:

To book a room at the hotel, use this convenient search form. Enter city, arrival and departure dates and number of guests.

The correct choice of hotel room, of course, depends on budget, on what kind of vacation you are counting on, with whom you will go.
If it will be with you child, then be sure to pay attention to what sleeping place will be provided for him.
If you are a fan of excursions and active rest, which means that you will be in the hotel just sleep... Why pay extra for Superior benefits over Standard if you don't even notice? In this case, you can think about Promo room, if the selected hotel offers such an option.

If you prefer beach vacation and you expect to spend most of your time on the territory of the hotel, the room should be sufficient comfortable.

In this case, the only question is what do you expect from the room and for what bonuses you agree to pay extra.

A pleasant evening on the balcony with a glass of wine and overlooking the sea will be impossible if the room does not have a balcony or the windows overlook the wall of a neighboring building.

It is best when there is an opportunity to find out in advance everything about the room in which you are going to spend your vacation, so that the impressions from it remain only pleasant.

See this video for an example of the number Superior room :

Going on vacation, business trip, just to another city or country, in most cases we choose a hotel as a place of residence. And when choosing a room on the websites of travel agencies or the hotels themselves, various designations such as sgl, trpl, dbl are always indicated. What's this? What is the difference between the numbers? This article will help you understand these issues.

Organized tourism, as a separate industry, appeared in 1841. This is associated with the foundation of the first. At the same time, a unified classification system for hotel rooms was introduced.

Some regions (such as Asia or Europe) may have their own and therefore their classification system may have their own nuances. But for the most part it is very universal and almost always suitable for all countries and cities.

So when you see different acronyms and you have questions: “Sgl - like Dbl - what is it? Apt - what is special? " - just open the transcript, and everything will become very clear.

So, decryption:

ADLT (Adult) - adult.

CHLD (Child) - child.

INF (Infant) - a child up to two years old.

Sometimes this is indicated separately, in the description of the numbers next to the abbreviation. It will be easier to understand: for example, if ADLT + CHLD is written in the DBL room, what does it mean - an adult and a child in a double room. But in most cases the adult is always meant. If necessary, this can be checked with the tour operator or the hotel administration.

STD (Standart) - standard size number.

Superior is a room with an area larger than STD.

Suite - a room with an area larger than STD and with improved furnishings (may include a living room and a separate bedroom).

Family Room - a room in which a family can live (it can be two-room).

Studio - a room with a room and a small kitchen in it.

APT (Apatrments) - two / three-room suite with a kitchen. There can also be one or 2 bedrooms (1 BDRM / 2 BDRM).

Luxe / De Luxe is a suite with an increased level of comfort.

Honeymoon Room - a room especially for newlyweds.

BGL (Bungalow) / Cottage / Cabana - bungalow (small separate house) / cottage / cottage on the beach.

Corner Room - room in the corner.

Balcony - a room with a balcony.

Business - a room equipped with a computer, printer, fax.

Connected - a number adjacent to the adjacent one.

Duplex is a two-story room.

President - presidential class room (considered the most luxurious rooms).

ROH (Run Of House) - accommodation upon arrival.

SGL (Single) - room for one person (sometimes referred to as “SGL accommodation”).

DBL (Double) - a room for two people (one double bed, sometimes referred to as “DBL accommodation”).

DBL + EX BED (Extra bed) - one bed for a child has been added to the DBL room.

TWN (Twin) - room with double occupancy (two

TRPL (Triple) - room with triple occupancy.

It is always very convenient to have a transcript on hand, because you can immediately understand if, for example, dbl indicates that this is a room with a double bed, and if it is EX BED - that an extra bed for a child has been added.

There is also a distribution of rooms by views from the window:

BV (Beach view) - view from the room to the beach area.

CV (City view) - view from the room to the city part.

GV (Garden view) - part with a garden.

MV (Mountain view) - view from the room to the mountainous area.

RV (River view) - view from the room to the area with the river.

SV ( Sea view) - to the sea coast.

VV (Valley view) - view from the room to the valley.

Now, having a clear idea of what sgl means, what dbl and other abbreviations mean, you can easily understand which numbers are offered and choose the most suitable option.
