When going on vacation, a 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 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 to 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 features, and therefore their classification system may be nuanced. But for the most part, it is very versatile and almost always suitable for all countries and cities.
So when you see various abbreviations, and you have questions:”Sgl - how to understand this? Dbl - what is it? Apt - what's special about it? – just open the transcript and everything will become crystal clear.
So, transcript:
ADLT (Adult) – adult.
CHLD (Child) - child.
INF (Infant) - a child under 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, an adult is always meant. If necessary, this can be clarified with the tour operator or the hotel administration.
STD (Standart) - standard size number.
Superior - a number whose area is larger than STD.
Suite - Larger room than STD with upgraded furnishings (may include living room and separate bedroom).
Family Room - a room in which a family can live (may be two rooms).
Studio - a room with a room and a small kitchen in it.
APT (Apatrments) - two / three-room suite with a kitchen. Also available as one or 2 bedroom (1 BDRM/2 BDRM).
Luxe/De Luxe - deluxe room with a higher level of comfort.
Honeymoon Room - a room especially for honeymooners.
BGL (Bungalow)/Cottage/Cabana
Corner Room - room in the corner.
Balcony - a room with a balcony.
Business - a room equipped with a computer, printer, fax.
Connected - adjacent number.
Duplex - two-story room.
President - a 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 “accommodation SGL”).
DBL (Double) - a room designed 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 single beds).
TRPL (Triple) - room with triple occupancy.
It is always very convenient to have a transcript at hand, because you can immediately understand if, for example, dbl is indicated that this is a room with a double bed, and if EX BED is indicated, 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 on the city part.
GV (Garden view) - to the garden part.
MV (Mountain view) - mountain view from room.
PV (Pool view) - on the part of the hotel with a swimming pool.
RV (River view) - view from the room to the area with the river.
SV (Sea view) - on the sea coast.
VV (Valley view) - view from the room to the valley.
Now, having a clear understanding of what sgl means, what dbl means and other abbreviations, youyou can easily understand which rooms are offered and choose the most suitable option.
