What mean "Single" and "Twin"

[Keith]

Hi All,

 

For hotels, what does "Single" and "Twin" mean?

 

Do all rooms have double beds or do I need to state specifically?

 

Thanks,

 

Keith

Although Mr Frequent Flyer® may not agree...

 

Twin = 2 beds, usually double or full size beds

 

Single = 1 bed, normally Queen size

Hum, this has bothered me many times, I think it is not so clear! For some hotel, it is as you said.

Some others use single and twin in respect to the number of occupants in the room, which is a matter (gor gf hotel) of how many breakfrast/day are included.

And lastly, some use single for a single small bed, twin for 2 small beds, and double for 1 large bed....This bother me a lot because a double large bed is really a must have for me! I usually ask on my internet reservation, to have a confirmation, but I do not have a 100% foolproof technique yet :( . Fortunately, in low season I am able to change rooms if there was a mistake, and I never go in really high season (mid november - enf of february)

Some hotels seem to use the term "twin" to mean occupied by two people. Others use the term double.

From my experience:

 

twin- has 2 beds, be them small or large

 

single- one bed usually large

 

double- one bed that is large

Thanks all.

 

That's (mostly) cleared it up.
