Standard Room Side Sea View (SRSSV) translates as a standard room with a side view of the sea or ocean. The room type must be specified at the time of payment or booking.

Standard Room Side Sea View - room type with side sea view. The view may be complete lateral or incomplete. The sea or ocean may also be partially visible - to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the location of the hotel itself.

This room assumes that the sea will be visible from the balcony, but only the side one. There may be obstacles in the form of trees, buildings, or part of the hotel. The price is a little more than usual, without sea view.

The mention of Sea front in the name indicates a frontal view - most likely it means a view directly to the shore itself. The range can be specified upon request.

If you have funds, you can pay extra for best view from the balcony. This type of room or service may contain sea view, inland view or pool view in the name.

A room overlooking the utility part of the hotel, on office premises and the territory may contain a back view in its name. The price is usually lower than standard.

169 years have passed since the advent of organized tourism - the first travel agency in history was opened by Thomas Cook in 1841. At the same time, few people know about the unified classification system for hotel rooms: while the official star rating of hotels in most countries has already been sorted out, then with rooms everything is somewhat more complicated.

Of course, almost every hotel whose category is higher than two or three stars can offer its guests standard, deluxe and suite rooms. But the quality and quantity of services provided in them can vary even within the same hotel. And all because there are various characteristics of the views from the windows, the functional purpose of the rooms (family, business) and even the design (for example, a Mediterranean suite in blue tones or a Caribbean suite in bright and tropical colors).

One thing is certain: a standard room in any hotel in the world should be one small room with a bed, a separate shower, a small wardrobe and a TV. The bathroom of each room should also have a standard set of towels, soap and shower gel. By the way, in some countries, for example, in China, this set is always complemented by a comb, toothbrush and toothpaste.

Common abbreviations

To begin with, it would be useful to understand the generally accepted abbreviations adopted by hoteliers around the world. If DBL (from the English "double" - double) or SGL ("single" - one, single), as a rule, do not cause any difficulties, then such ciphers as DUS (double use single - double number, which is used as single) or BG GV (bungalow garden view) can mislead even the most sophisticated tourist.

Let's talk about the main reductions adopted in the hotel environment.

Types of accommodation and their classification

DBL: classic double room with double bed.

TWIN: same as DBL, but with two single beds.

SGL: classic single room.

TRPL (Triple) : triple room.

QDPL (Quadripl) : quadruple room.

APT (Apartment) : — two- or three-room suite (sometimes there are more rooms) with a kitchenette or full kitchen. The number of bedrooms is indicated as follows: 1 BDRM And 2 BDRM - 1 and 2 bedrooms, respectively.

If you require an extra bed in the room, then you need the abbreviation EXB (extra bed).

+1 C.H.D.: plus child, in parentheses - child’s age (2-6) or (6-12). If the child is under two years old, then he is designated as INF (Infant) . Two children, respectively +2 C.H.D. , and so on.

“+CHD” can be preceded by both the above abbreviations (DBL, TWIN, SGL, TRPL, QDPL), and those indicating the number of adults in a slightly different way: 2ADL or 2 AD , where 2 is the quantity, and ADL or AD is Adult, which means “adult” in English.

Numbers and their classification

Standard (STD) : standard room.

Superior: slightly larger than a standard room.

Family Room: family room, often consisting of two rooms.

Suite (S.T.E.) : in general it is a room with a room and a separate sitting area (essentially two rooms). In turn, it is divided into several subcategories: Mini (slightly better than Superior), Junior (room and separate sitting area or fenced off sleeping place), Senior (superior room with a full bedroom and living room), King And Executive (with two bedrooms).

Studio: one room with a small kitchenette.

Luxe(Sometimes De Luxe): does not need translation, this is the number with high level comfort.

Honeymoon Room: special room for newlyweds.

In order to indicate which beds are in the room, some designations are also used: rooms with “king beds” Kingsize Bed ( K; width more than 180 cm), Queen Bed ( Q), simple Double Beds ( D; accordingly, if the room is equipped with two beds, the abbreviation will be 2D).

Location of rooms relative to the hotel

Corner: corner number.

Main Building(MV): room located in the main building.

Connected Rooms: rooms with passage from one to another.

New Building: room in a new building.

Balcony Room: room with balcony.

Executive floor: the room is located on a separate floor with additional services and a higher level of service.

Duplex: two-story room.

Bungalow (B.G.) : separate building. Also called Cabana.

ROH (run of the house): accommodation in a hotel without a pre-agreed room type.

Views from windows and their classification

B.V.(Beach view): beach view.

B.F. (Beach front) : beach view

CV(City view): city ​​view.

D.V.(Dune view): view of the sand dunes.

G.V.(Garden view): garden view.

LV(Land view): view of the surrounding area.

MV (Mountain view): mountain view.

O.V.(Ocean view): ocean view.

PV(Pool view): pool view.

RV(River view): river view.

SV(Sea view): sea ​​view.

SSV(Sea Side view): side sea view.

V.V.(Valley view): view of the valley.

ROH (run of the house): accommodation in a hotel without a pre-agreed view from the window.

Standard room

If a theater starts with a hanger, then a hotel starts with a regular standard room (STD). It is by its appearance that one can get a completely adequate idea of ​​the level of the hotel, the quantity and quality of services provided in it. All standard rooms can be divided into doubles (double rooms) and singles (single rooms). Sometimes a triple (triple) room is added to the room palette, but most often the hotel administration offers an extra bed in a double room.

Depending on the star rating of the hotel, they can vary greatly. For example, a traditional single room in a 2* hotel will be very small in area and can hardly accommodate a bed, bedside table and wardrobe. In addition, the price of your stay will include cleaning no more than once a day (if you’re lucky, or even less often), as well as a change of linen and towels every 3-5 days. The bathroom amenities will be minimal: a towel, soap and sometimes shower gel.

A completely different picture will appear before a vacationer in a single five-star hotel. A large comfortable bed, an armchair, a table with a mirror, daily cleaning, a full cosmetic set in the bathroom, including all kinds of fragrant soaps and shower caps, a hairdryer, fluffy robes and slippers, marble floors and TV with satellite channels.

Of course, the cost of such rooms varies greatly, even within the same hotel. Which is not least influenced by the view from the window. Traditionally, picturesque views of the sea, ocean, mountains or garden are considered the most expensive.

The only thing that unites hotel rooms around the world into some kind of system is the star classification, which obliges hotels to maintain a certain minimum area of ​​their rooms and the range of services in them. For example, in Iceland, a double room in a 3* hotel must be at least 18 square meters. m, single - 14. In a 4* hotel, the area of ​​a double room should be no less than 24 square meters. m, and for one - 16 sq. m. In five-star hotels, doubles can boast 26 sq.m., while singles have 18.

Everything is also clearly spelled out among the Germans. All rooms in 1* tourist class hotels must be equipped with a hot shower and color TV, with an area of ​​8 and 12 square meters. m. in single and double rooms, respectively. 2* - 12 and 16 sq. m, 3* - 14 and 18 sq. m, 4* - 16 and 22 sq. m, luxury rooms in 5* hotels must be at least 18 and 26 square meters. m.

In addition, it is worth noting that a full bathroom, and not a shower, can only be expected from hotels of the 3* level and above. When booking doubles, you should also be careful: after all, they are divided by type of bed - one double in the room (usually designated DBL) or two singles (TWIN).

In hotels in the USA, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, you can also find this type of room as moderate (MOD). It cannot be classified as a suite, deluxe, or standard - it is rather something in between, close to STD. In Europe, designations for such numbers as superior (SUP) - “improved” - are more common.

Suite

Suite (also periodically called "suite" or "suite") comes from English word suite, the translation of which means “ kit" or "kit".

There are different types of suites: junior, standard, senior, executive, royal, as well as any that the hotelier’s imagination has decided to implement. Starting with the “Mediterranean”, “Caribbean” or honeymoon suite, and ending with the “Embassy”.

The lowest level in the hierarchy of suites is occupied by junior (from English “junior”). Its area is approximately 20-25 square meters. m, which is slightly larger than a standard room, and it consists of one room, divided into two areas: relaxation and living room. And yet, the difference between junior suites and traditional rooms, in addition to size, is significant: they include satellite TV, DVD, Internet access, a minibar and other options.

The standard suite is a two-room suite of 25-40 sq. m. m. The filling is the same as in the junior, the only difference is in the size, including the bathroom.

Following him are the seigneur (“senior”) or executive, or presidential suite. Accordingly, these are the most luxurious rooms in the hotel, which occupy from 3 to 7 rooms, have a personal pool, sauna, entrance, butler, and so on.

Recently, suites have become a fashionable trend, and many hotels specialize exclusively in such rooms. For example, Hilton has a chain of Embassy Suites hotels, the number of rooms of which consists exclusively of suites.

Lux

Luxury (LUX), abbreviated from the English “luxury” - “luxury, luxurious”. Accordingly, deluxe rooms are the most luxurious and, as a rule, only 4-5* hotels have them. Thanks to the recommendations of the World Tourism Organization, the area of ​​suites starts from 30-35 square meters. m, sometimes they consist of several rooms: a bedroom and a living room.

The cost of living per night in a suite is usually twice as high as in a standard room. But for this significant premium, hotels offer guests luxurious decoration and furnishings of the rooms, picturesque views from the window, a spacious bathroom with a Jacuzzi, fluffy towels and robes, and high-quality cosmetics. Sometimes the price of a suite includes free use of a minibar, swimming pool, and fitness center. In addition, suites are sometimes deliberately placed on separate floors with their own reception, lobby, spa and restaurant.

In the Caribbean, USA, Mexico and some others, such rooms are also called deluxe, DLX.

Apartments

Apartments, in simple terms, come in two types: simpler/cheaper and luxurious/expensive. This fact depends on the star rating of the hotel. If this is a high-level hotel, then most likely apartments will mean very expensive and comfortable rooms for discerning guests. Such apartments cannot be classified: they are unique even within the same hotel, the only thing that unites them is their size, which starts from two rooms and ends with two floors. And their design depends only on the wild imagination of the hotelier.

Hotels from 2 to 4 stars, as well as specialized apart-hotels, on the contrary, offer guests quite budget rooms for a large number of guests. This could be, for example, a two-room apartment for four tourists.

Almost every apartment has a separate bedroom, its own living room, a large full bathroom and a full kitchen or cooking area. In addition, depending on its class - economy, luxury or business - they differ in furnishings and services provided. For example, luxury apartments, in addition to luxurious furnishings and an abundance of modern technology, offer their guests the services of a personal butler, in-room massage, security guard, private car with driver and a special menu: dietary, with a unique wine list, and so on. Business apartments, as a rule, guarantee guests peace and quiet, high-speed Internet, office equipment - in short, everything they need for full-fledged work.

Honeymoon rooms

They feature a romantic design, a large bed and a bathroom with a Jacuzzi, as well as specialized service - unique in each hotel. In addition to classic champagne and fruit in your room, some hotels in the Maldives offer unusual wedding ceremonies on the beach or a desert island, free access to spa centers or candlelit dinners on a yacht.

In the most romantic city in the world (we are, of course, talking about Paris) Hotel Four Season George V offers newlyweds to stay in the Honeymoon Suite, which is located on the top eighth floor. Needless to say, the Honey Suite terrace offers stunning views of the Eiffel Tower? And the Bellaggio Hotel in Las Vegas offers newlyweds exquisite chocolate made according to a special, “love” recipe.

In short, today rooms for newlyweds can be found in almost all major cities world, mostly in 4-5* hotels.

Bungalow

Bungalow rooms, as a rule, are located in isolated small one- or two-story buildings scattered throughout the entire hotel complex. Each such building contains 2-4 bungalow rooms, and they can be deluxe or superior class, standard or luxury suites. This type of placement is found, for the most part, on beach resorts- in Greece, Turkey, popular countries Southeast Asia. Of course, a night in a bungalow costs much more than in a standard room (located in the main building of the hotel). They are usually chosen by lovers of silence and solitude.

Villa

This type of accommodation is exclusively for wealthy, discerning clients who value privacy and independence. As a rule, villas are conveniently located somewhere close to the main entertainment and infrastructure of the main building of the hotel or hotel complex, while providing maximum comfort for their guests. One- and two-story luxury houses with private pools, saunas and gardens also offer guests the services of personal butlers, secretaries or cooks. You can rent a villa either on long term(a month or two), and for the traditional two weeks, while the price does not depend on the number of residents.

It’s up to you to decide which room to live in, which house to choose for your vacation. And we hope that this article will allow you not to get lost in the world of hotel abbreviations and book exactly what you and your family will need. Tourister.ru wishes you a pleasant stay!

Modern hotels offer tourists many services. We will tell you below what you should pay attention to and which room to choose. Please note that there are no uniform standards on the basis of which we can draw a conclusion about the quality hotel room. However, you can easily find out the main characteristics of the number by its name.

“Superior room” translation of the designation and main criteria

• Standard. The room area averages from 10 to 22 square meters. It has a TV, telephone, one or two beds, and a toilet with shower. You can also count on a refrigerator. In general, the equipment depends on the level of the hotel.
• Economy Room. From the name you can roughly guess about the quality of the room equipment. Their area, as a rule, is inferior to standard ones.
• Superior Room - superior “Standard” room.

Superior room: room characteristics in different countries

What factors influence the equipment of the premises and the quality of services provided to the client:

1. Country.
2. Number of stars for the hotel.
3. Hotel type.

These are the most basic points to consider. So that you can navigate correctly, we will provide a description of superior in the most popular countries for holidays.

Literally "superior" stands for "improved". If you are planning a holiday in or Turkey, then this room guarantees you availability beautiful view from the window. If the standard room overlooks the highway, a large construction site or shops, then the superior rooms offer a beautiful panorama of the sea or garden. There is also a balcony or terrace. Another advantage: the room is located close to the beach.

If we talk about European cities , the superior area ranges from 20-25 square meters. You can expect a bathroom with a good bathtub rather than a walk-in shower. Sometimes there may be an electric kettle, coffee, sugar and cream in the room. In economy class hotels you will find the most necessary hygiene products.

View from the window: room classification

When choosing a hotel room, pay attention to the abbreviation that indicates what kind of view the window offers.

What is the difference between “superior” and “standard”?

“Standard” is an economical room with a small area, in which:

The area of ​​"Superior" rooms is usually twice that of standard rooms. The furnishings in the room are modern, with good furniture and appliances. View from the windows pleases with a beautiful panorama. You can also relax on the balcony, as it is usually furnished for greater comfort for hotel guests.
