When planning any trip, the question of accommodation always arises. Many hotels are ready to offer a countless variety of rooms, from which you often don’t 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 this) is possible.

Categories of rooms in hotels

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

Higher

  • 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 size of this room starts at 40 m². Requirements: at least two rooms, and there must be a kitchen area.
  • Lux(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 at least 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. The area of ​​the Junior Suite is at least 25 m².
  • Studio(Studio). One room with a kitchen area. The Studio area is at least 25 m².
  • Standard

    All standard category rooms are one-room.

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

  1. 1st category(otherwise – standard). Designed to accommodate one or two people. The room has a toilet room.
  2. 2nd category. Differs from category 1 in the presence of an incomplete bathroom (sink and toilet).
  3. 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 resident. The room is equipped with either a partial bathroom or one full bathroom for several rooms.
  4. 4th category. It differs from the 3rd category room in that it only has a washbasin.
  5. 5th category. The rooms of the fifth category do not have a bathroom at all. The washbasin is located in the corridor.

Classification of hotel rooms - decoding and translation

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

According to European standard

View from the window - designations

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, G.V. (Garden View), informing you about the view that 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 hotel room, use this convenient search form. Enter city, check-in and check-out dates And number of guests.

  • The correct choice of hotel room, of course, depends on budget, on what kind of vacation you are planning on, who you are going with.
  • If it happens to you child, then you definitely need to pay attention to what kind of sleeping place will be provided for him.
  • If you are a lover of excursions and active recreation, then you will be at the hotel just sleep. Why pay extra for the benefits of Superior over Standard if you don’t even notice them? In this case, you can think about a Promo room, if the selected hotel offers such an option.
  • If you prefer beach holiday and you expect to spend most of your time on the hotel premises, the room should be sufficient comfortable.

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

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

It’s best when you have the opportunity to find out in advance everything about the room in which you are going to spend your vacation, so that your impressions of it remain only pleasant.
