When arriving at a hotel or making a reservation, we are often faced with the need to choose a specific room category. There are travelers who prefer the cheapest rooms. This is the so-called “Standard”. Stay the night to move on - so why pay more? Therefore, in roadside hotels almost all rooms are standard. But if we choose a hotel for vacation, our preferences change. We wish for a higher quality of service. That's why we choose more expensive rooms. In the hotel price list, immediately after the “Standard” category, the “Superior room” category is indicated. What is it and what can a tourist expect? Let's consider.
Global and local
In all countries of the world, on all continents, hotels offer superior services to their guests. But what’s interesting is that there is no uniform standard of services and room contents for this category of rooms. The equipment of the premises depends on many factors: the country, the number of hotel stars, the type of hotel (city or resort). So what is a superior room? The translation of these words simply means “superior room.” No more, no less. Improved, you have to understand, compared to a standard room. How this room was improved in order to charge a little more for the stay is at the discretion of the hotel administration. By the way, it should be noted that luxury hotels (five stars) often do not have standard rooms at all. In them, “Superior” is the lowest category.
Superior according to Russian standards
Previously, the country's hotel base was divided only into single, double, triple and quadruple rooms. But with the tourism boom, civilization also looked into our hotel sector. Junior suites and suites have appeared. To throw dust in the eyes of guests, hotel administrations often resort to foreign names “executive” (special) or “Superior room”. What does this mean in practice? Perhaps the standard room has been renovated. Maybe an old bed with sagging springs has been replaced with new furniture. Or they simply put an electric kettle in a standard room. Or one bed was taken from a three-bed room, thereby increasing the living space. In any case, it doesn’t hurt to ask at the reception what bonuses the “superior room” provides. 
Egyptian resort option
When we come to the sea, we want to see it all the time. And from the window of the room where we live, too. This is the catch of the Egyptian-Turkish resort “Superior room”, that it is mainly a beautiful view. Standard rooms often overlook the road, courtyards, construction sites and other unsightly objects. Superior offers a view of the sea (Superior Sea View), garden, pool. Improvement can also be seen in proximity to the beach. The prefix “Ocean front” means that you will actually live on it. If standard hotel rooms do not have a balcony, then the Superior does have one. And if an ordinary room is equipped with it, then the Superior has a terrace. It should be said that some hotel complexes also have a “Superior villa” and the same chalet. Then you can expect that the room will have several rooms or a kitchenette. 
European city hotel
Superior room - what does this mean for a two- or three-star hotel located in a tourist European city? As a rule, standard rooms there are serviced at a high level, but they are very small: ten or even nine square meters, where you need to move sideways. What to do: Europeans are used to living in close quarters. Superior in Venice or Munich, London or Barcelona is a room measuring 20-25 square meters. m. Sometimes, unlike the Standard, there is an electric kettle with tea bags, coffee, sugar and dry cream. At times, a shower stall is replaced by a full bath. Economy class hotels in Superior provide hygiene items - shampoo, shower gel, soap.
Types of hotel rooms: choose a vacation to suit your taste
Vacation is a wonderful part of every person's life. Every employee eagerly awaits the cherished date when they can not go to work, but instead board a plane and go far away. 
Today, tour operators offer, as a rule, two main types of vacation: sightseeing and beach. When going on a tour under the first program, you may not think much about the hotel, but rather focus on getting positive emotions from sightseeing. But in the case of a beach holiday, you pay special attention to your choice. Everyone knows that hotels are classified by the number of stars, but within each there are different types of rooms.
Rooms for every taste
To satisfy the requirements of any category of vacationers, hotels offer various types of rooms. In hotels you can rent a standard (standart), superior room (superior), deluxe (de luxe), studio or apartment, family room (family room), suite (suit), honeymoon room, presidential room. , two-story or maisonette (duplex, maisonette). Obviously, their prices will be different.
Standard
As a rule, this is the most inexpensive hotel room with the smallest square footage and modest furnishings. Consists of one room, bathroom and toilet. There are single and double standard rooms, but in some hotels it is possible to put an extra bed - 
extra bed for triple occupancy.
Superior
Superior types of hotel rooms are superior: larger than a standard room, sometimes closer to the sea (if we are talking about club hotels or hotels of a combined type, when there is a main building, a high-rise building, and separate bungalows for several families). Otherwise, there are essentially no differences.
Family apartments
There are two types of family room types in Turkish hotels: family room and family studio. The first option is a one-room apartment, larger than a standard room. They can accommodate up to 4 people (usually). A family studio consists of two rooms and accommodates more guests than a regular family studio.
Suites
The category of suit rooms also comes in different types: regular suite, junior suite, executive suite, senior suite. These types of rooms in hotels in Greece, just like in any other country, differ from other categories in their size (they are larger and usually consist of a living room and a bedroom), may have two bathrooms, and are distinguished by their original design (this most likely applies to executive suite), and the furniture is expensive. It is also worth paying attention to their location in the building: as a rule, suites have a good view from the window.
Presidential Apartments
These are the most expensive types of hotel rooms: 
located in the most prestigious location (for example, almost under the roof), with a huge square footage, several bedrooms and living rooms and more than one bathroom. The president room is furnished with high quality furniture. Often, guests who choose these types of hotel rooms are given certain privileges that brighten up their vacation: free use of a minibar, infrastructure that is paid for by other vacationers, etc. Needless to say, the level of service in such apartments is simply incredible?
It is obvious that with such a luxurious assortment of rooms, every tourist can choose exactly the type that will satisfy all his requirements and wishes.
Hotel room types
In the world, for the convenience of travelers and the comfortable operation of the tourism business, there is a unified classification of hotel rooms with clear designations and characteristics. For error-free booking, it is important to speak this “tourist language”. If you are just gaining experience, the following transcript will help you choose the appropriate types of hotel rooms.
Classification of accommodation types
- SNGL(single - “single”) - obviously, if a person is traveling alone, then he will have to use a one-room suite with one bed.
- DBL(double – “double”) - this room can accommodate two people, but they will sleep on the same bed.
- TWIN(twin - “twin”) - this designation of hotel rooms involves occupancy of two people, but sleeping in separate beds.
- TRPL(triple – “triple”) – provides accommodation for three people.
- QDPL(quadruple - “quadruple”) - these types of rooms are very rare in hotels; this is one room where four adults can live.
- EXB(extra bed - “extra bed”) - another bed can be placed in a double room, for example, for a child.
- C.H.D.(child – “child”) – in different hotels, free child accommodation is limited to different age categories, ranging from 12 to 19 years in high-class hotels.
Classification of room types
Now you can safely proceed to booking and let this decoding of hotel rooms help you cope with the task with the highest score! Sgl - how to understand it? Dbl - what is it? Types of hotel accommodation and their explanation
When going on vacation, a business trip, or simply to another city or country, in most cases we choose a hotel as our 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 is 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 founding of the first travel agency by Thomas Cook. At the same time, a unified system for classifying hotel rooms was introduced.
Some regions (such as Asia or Europe) may have their own distinctive characteristics, and therefore their classification system may have its own nuances. But for the most part, it is very universal and is almost always suitable for all countries and cities.
Therefore, when you see various abbreviations and you have questions: “Sgl - how to understand it? Dbl - what is it? Apt – what’s special?” – just open the transcript and everything will become extremely clear.
So, the decryption:
ADLT (Adult) – adult.
CHLD (Child) – child.
INF (Infant) – a child under two years old.
Sometimes this is indicated separately, in the room description next to the abbreviation. It will be easier to understand: for example, if it says ADLT+CHLD in a DBL room, what does this mean - an adult and a child in a room for two. But in most cases it always means an adult. If necessary, this can be clarified with the tour operator or the hotel administration.
STD (Standart) – standard size number.
Superior – a room whose area is larger than STD.
Suite – a room 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 (can be two-room).
Studio – a room with a room and a small kitchen in it.
APT (Apatrments) – two/three-room suite with kitchen. There can also be one or 2 bedrooms (1 BDRM/2 BDRM).
Luxe/De Luxe – a suite with an increased level of comfort.
Honeymoon Room is a room specifically 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 neighboring one.
Duplex – two-story room.
President – presidential class room (considered the most luxurious rooms).
ROH (Run Of House) – accommodation upon arrival.
SGL (Single) – a room designed for one person (sometimes indicated as “SGL accommodation”).
DBL (Double) – a room designed for two people (one double bed, sometimes indicated 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 single beds).
TRPL (Triple) – room with triple occupancy.
It is always very convenient to have a decoding at 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 has been added for a child.
There is also a distribution of rooms according to window views:
BV (Beach view) - view from the room to the beach area.
CV (City view) - view of the city from the room.
GV (Garden view) - part with a garden.
MV (Mountain view) - view from the room to the mountainous area.
PV (Pool view) - to the part of the hotel with a swimming pool.
RV (River view) - view from the room of the area with the river.
SV (Sea view) - to the sea coast.
VV (Valley view) - view of the valley from the room.
Now, having a clear understanding of what sgl means, what dbl means and other abbreviations, you can easily understand what numbers are offered and choose the most suitable option.

Alexander Krasilnikov
Room types
1. Standard room - as a rule, in Egyptian hotels all rooms are standard. The only difference is how many beds and residents there are in the room. Depending on this, there are different names (single, double, double + extra bed)
Single – standard room for use by one resident. The surcharge for this service is approximately 30-60%.
Double – standard room for 2 guests. It can have 2 single beds or 1 double bed for couples.
Double + extra bed - the name speaks for itself. This means that a separate folding bed will be provided for the child.
There is a type of room called triple - it implies the presence of 3 full beds, but it is quite difficult to find such rooms in hotels in Egypt.
If you are booking a room for 3 people, we recommend asking in advance if you will be allocated a room with 3 beds or if you will still be given an extra rollaway bed.
Connecting rooms are 2 standard rooms connected by doors. They are very convenient if you are traveling with a large family, then you can accommodate children in a separate room; such rooms are also popular with large groups. When making a reservation (if you are a family with 2 children), we recommend using the 2 single + 2 children scheme. Then, as a rule, children's accommodation is free. The age of children affected by this rule may also vary from hotel to hotel. Usually this is 12 years, but can be 14 or 6 years.
Bungalows are separate small buildings on the hotel premises, with several rooms. You may have a private entrance, a small lawn adjacent to your terrace and other advantages over rooms located in the main building. Staying in such a room may also cost extra money and you should worry about this in advance.
2. Suite (junior, family, executive, president, superior) – we can say that these are “improved layout” rooms. This does not mean that instead of one room there will necessarily be two. It is possible that the room will have a better location, it will have a large terrace or a bathroom instead of a shower.
3. Presidential - the prerogative of five-star hotels. There are no standards here. Typically, such a room has two or three bedrooms, an office, sometimes a security room, two or three toilets, two bathrooms, and a living room. There are presidential rooms with a kitchen. In some hotels, presidential rooms are two-story.
View from the window
If you pay attention to your voucher, it may also contain the abbreviation ROH (run of the house) - this means that you can be accommodated in any type of room with any view from the window. As a rule, this has to do with programs associated with hotel special offers.
STD – view of anything, depending on your luck
SV – sea view
Front Sea View - first line to the sea, usually almost on the beach
PV – pool view
GV – garden view
Back View – view of the road (construction site and other unsightly places)
Power types
BB (bed & breakfast) – breakfast only (buffet), free drinks: tea, coffee, water. An exception may be freshly squeezed juices.
HB (half board) – half board. Breakfast and dinner (buffet), free soft drinks for breakfast, for dinner and lunch - paid.
FB (full board) – full board – breakfast, lunch, dinner (buffet), drinks at lunch and dinner may be paid.
All (all inclusive) – all inclusive, 3 meals a day in different restaurants, local drinks included. Non-motorized sports may also be included.
Ultra all inclusive – the same as with the all-inclusive system + imported alcohol.
BO (bed only) – bed only, meals not included.
In conclusion, I would like to say that when choosing a hotel you need to remember that the price is still a good indicator. There are many examples where two 4-star hotels can differ from each other.
What do the abbreviations mean when looking at hotel prices? SGL for example, etc.
Svetlana
DBL - double room with one large bed or two single beds.
TWIN is also a double room, but with separate beds. If this point is important to you, be sure to ask when booking to indicate that you want to live in a twin. Otherwise you will have to sleep with your friend in the same bed.
SNGL - single room. As an option - DBL Sngl Use: this means that you will be accommodated alone in a double room.

According to Russian standards, the area of a suite is at least 75 square meters. meters. Often such rooms are called suites, but this is incorrect. Ask for a suite in a foreign hotel, they will bring you a suit (suit in English).
Junior Suite - a simpler room than a suite. The bedroom and living room can be separate rooms. Or in one large room the bed is separated from the rest of the room: an alcove, a niche.
Apartments (Apts) - at least a two-room suite and always with an equipped kitchen. According to Russian standards, its area is at least 40 square meters. meters. The apartments are convenient for travelers with small children. You can cook food for your child and not depend on the hotel restaurant. And relax in one room while the baby sleeps in another. The price list may indicate the cost for all residents of the apartment. For example, Apts 4 pax is an apartment for four.
Bungalow - a separate house, usually in a beach hotel. Bungalows have one or two rooms. Also, individual houses on the hotel premises can be called a villa, chalet or cabana.
Main - room in the main building of the hotel.
SV (Sea View) - room with sea view. Always more expensive than with a view of the pool or street. The difference can be impressive, say 20 euros per day. So you can save money on the view from the window. Hotels can charge similar surcharges for views of the lake (Lake View) or mountains (Mountain View) - in general, for what you can admire from the window. Creek View - view of the creek, Park View - view of the park, Pool View - view of the pool, Garden View - view of the garden.
SSV (Sea side view) - room with side sea view. That is, your balcony or window will not look directly at the wide expanse of water, but you can still see the sea.
All these designations can appear in price lists in a variety of combinations. For example:
Chalet superior GV - larger than standard chalet, overlooking the garden. (GV - Garden View).
Deluxe Main SSV - suite in the main building, with side sea views.

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.
- 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.
In addition to the bedroom, the suite must have a living room and a separate office, or visually separated from the living room space.
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.
- 1st category(otherwise – standard). Designed to accommodate one or two people. The room has a toilet room.
- 2nd category. Differs from category 1 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 resident. The room is equipped with either a partial bathroom or one full bathroom for several rooms.
- 4th category. It differs from the 3rd category room in that it only has a washbasin.
- 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
Numbers 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.

- 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 at the hotel you will 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 a beach holiday and expect to spend most of your time on the hotel grounds, 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.
