When planning any trip, the question of accommodation always arises. Many hotels are ready to offer a countless variety of rooms, from which, often, you do not know what to expect.

Uniform World Classification Standards hotel rooms, unfortunately, does not exist, but to figure out which number is hidden under a particular name (for example, superior room- what is it) is possible.

Categories of rooms in hotels

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

Higher

• Suite(suite). Upscale hotel room with an area of ​​75 m². The suite consists of at least three rooms. to one of mandatory requirements includes a separate guest toilet.

In addition to the bedroom, the suite necessarily has a living room and a separate or visually separated study from the living room space.

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 - symbols

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, GV (garden view), informing about what kind of view awaits you from the windows of this room. Deluxe GV is a deluxe garden view room.

Let's figure out what types are hidden under certain abbreviations:

• The correct choice of a hotel room, of course, depends on budget, on what kind of vacation you are counting on, with whom you will go.
• If with you child, then you definitely need to pay attention to what kind of sleeping place will be provided for him.
• If you are a travel lover and active rest, then you will be in the hotel just sleep. Why pay more for the benefits of Superior over Standard if you don't even notice them? In this case, you can think about the Promo room, if the selected hotel offers such an option.

If you prefer beach holiday and expect to spend most of your time at the hotel, the room should be enough comfortable.

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

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

The long-awaited vacation is coming. Perhaps you are planning to go on a trip with the whole family. Many tourists have a very important question: to book a hotel and transfer on their own or entrust this task to an experienced tour operator?

In the first case, you can save a lot, and in the second, you can entrust professionals with choosing a place to stay for a vacation, but here you often run the risk of getting a “pig in a poke” in the form of a voucher with incomprehensible abbreviations and number designations.

Sometimes not understanding what type of room you have been sold leads to unpleasant surprises upon arrival at the resort.

In this article, Kidpassage will help you understand the most common terms associated with the star rating of hotels, and also tell you how to determine the category of rooms in hotels by abbreviations.

Hotel categories by stars

To begin with, let's figure out how the star rating of hotels is determined. Usually this conditional concept is used to indicate the level of service that a hotel can provide.

The star system is a European hotel qualification system introduced by the World tourism organization. According to its policy, hotels are divided into five categories: from 1 to 5 stars. The system is widely used in, , China, , Brazil, in most European and other countries of the world.

This classification also exists in Asian countries, but the stars here are greatly overestimated compared to similar European hotels.

Here, hotel owners often assign stars to themselves. In addition, hoteliers sometimes practice lowering the category of a hotel in order to avoid higher taxes.

According to the European system, it was believed that the maximum number of hotel stars could be 5. But relatively recently, new categories of hotels have appeared: 6 and even 7 stars. Let's determine how many stars hotels have.

Hotels without category

This is the cheapest place to stay. In the worst case, this may be a barrack-type room with many beds. Hostels also fall into this category.

Most likely, here you will have to sleep next to strangers. Occasionally, however, this list comes across hotels with quite high level service, but the lack of stars in this case is due to the reluctance of the administration to spend time and money to assign the hotel an international category.

1 and 2 star hotels

This type of hotel is similar to a large hostel, with rooms no larger than 8-10 m2. Facilities, most likely, will be located on the floor (their number is determined on the basis of one bathroom for five rooms).

The rooms have a minimum of furniture. There are no swimming pools, restaurants, parking lots on the territory. In some cases, a bar or dining room may operate.

If they change bed linen, then no more than once a week. This is the most budget accommodation option for unpretentious tourists who plan to spend most of their time outside the hotel.

3 stars

Hotels of this category have larger rooms and a higher level of service. Be sure to have refrigerators, mini-bars, bathrooms. Bed linen and towels are provided to be changed every day. Hairdryer and iron are available upon request. On the territory, as a rule, there is a restaurant, parking, sometimes even a pool.

4 stars

Rooms from 14 m2. The level of service and comfort in such hotels is higher. The bathroom must have toiletries: soap, shampoo, shower gel, which are changed every day.

There is a safe, table, wardrobe, TV, air conditioning. Change of linen and cleaning are also carried out every day. Territory (if it is resort hotels) is a whole complex where there are parking lots, saunas, swimming pools, tennis courts, restaurants and cafes, a separate infrastructure for children. 4-star hotels offer room service.

5 stars

Rooms are larger. There must be at least four restaurants with different cuisines on the territory. Visitors have a number of privileges, they can use the infrastructure for free.

6-7 stars

Very high class hotels where one day stay can cost from several thousand dollars. For this money you will receive both royal apartments and round-the-clock service with the services of a personal chef, driver, and butler. All over the world there are no more than a dozen hotels of this class.

Classification of rooms in hotels in Turkey

Along with hotels that are classified from 1 to 5 stars, many club hotels (Holliday Village) or tourist villages are ubiquitous.

This is a kind of separate "caste". The abbreviations HV1 or HV2 are used to designate them. Guests are accommodated in cottages or bungalows. Such boarding houses are distinguished by a large territory with many trees, flowers and other vegetation.

HV1 - corresponds to hotels with 4-5 stars, however, the apartments are not very large in area. HV2 - corresponds to hotels with 3-4 stars.

More recently, this region has an additional class of hotels, which is indicated by the letter "S", which means "special".

Most of these boarding houses are located in historical places(for example, they can often be found in the list) and correspond to 4-5 stars. They are distinguished by small rooms, a small staff, a small restaurant and no pool.

Classification of hotels in Greece

In some cities and in certain ones, their own classification of hotels has still been preserved, which is indicated by Latin letters: L, A, B, C, D, E.

On the facade, along with the stars familiar to Europeans, there will be letters:

• De Luxe or L - corresponds to 5 stars;
• A - corresponds to 4 stars;
• B - corresponds to 3 stars;
• C - corresponds to 2 stars;
• D, E - corresponds to 1 star.

Deciphering the category of rooms in hotels

If you are booking a room and comfort, the view from the window and the type of accommodation are very important for you, then it is worth understanding what the abbreviations and expressions that are commonly used to call hotel room categories mean.

At the selection stage, you should decide what is especially important for you: the landscape that opens from the window, an extra bed, or do you want to settle in a big cheerful company. Or maybe all the parameters combined?

When booking a hotel, the main role is played by the purpose, duration of your trip, as well as the time of your stay in the hotel.

For example, if you are going to spend only a few days in any country or city, then it is quite enough to order a standard room type. But if you are planning a longer trip, then you should pay attention to apartments with a higher level of comfort.

Below is decoding of symbols that indicate the features of hotel rooms.

Categories of hotel rooms by size and composition

• Apartment- apartments. At its core, this is an apartment with several rooms and a kitchen.
• Balcony- The room has a balcony.
• Connected rooms- means that there are adjoining rooms.
• business- numbers intended for work. It has office equipment and the Internet.
• BDR, BDRM (bedroom)- the room has a bedroom.
• deluxe- a room with a more luxurious interior, usually consisting of several rooms.
• Duplex- it is understood that the apartments consist of two floors. Great for big company or families with children.

• Superior- superior room, which differs in footage. The superior room type has the same basic features as the standard, but it has a higher quality finish, design, it can be furnished with more refined furniture and modern appliances. The view from the window usually opens to the sea, garden or other attractive objects.

If you are traveling with children, then it is best to choose an Apartment or Family studio, as they provide extra beds, and sometimes even separate rooms for children. In the apartments, you can prepare your own meals in the kitchen.

Standard rooms with children may not be very convenient due to their small area and the difficulty of installing an extra bed or a folding bed.

Types of hotel accommodation by location

Rooms can be classified by type of accommodation, as well as location within the complex. Such a classification is indicated by a letter abbreviation. Let's consider some of them:

• BGL, BG (Bungalow)- bungalow. As a rule, a one- or two-story separate building.
• Cabana- Bungalow on the beach or near the pool.
• Chale- an extension or a separate small house.
• Cottage- cottage.
• executive floor- a whole floor with a high level of service.
• h.v. ( holiday village) - a club hotel where guests live in bungalows or cottages.

Boarding houses located in seaside resorts are characterized by a classification relative to the coastline. First coastline- the hotel is located directly on the seafront and has access to its own beach.

The second coastline - you need to go to the beach through the road, promenade or the territory of neighboring hotel complexes.

Classification of rooms in hotels according to the view from the window

Rooms are also classified according to the view from the window. It’s quite simple to figure it out here: the first letter indicates where the windows go, and the second, the letter “V” (view), indicates the view. Be sure to take this into account when booking.

Abbreviation	Full title	Description of the view from the window
ROH	run of the house	The view from the window is not specified

DBL	Double, double twin	Double occupancy. With this type of accommodation, one double bed or two separate beds are provided.

Abbreviation	Full title	Accommodation type description
SGL+CHD	single + child	Single room for an adult and a child
SGL+2CHD	Single +2 children	Single room for an adult and two children
DBL+CHD	double + child	Double room for two adults and a child up to 12 years old

DBL+EXB+CHD	Double + extra bed + child	Room for three adults and a child, with an extra bed
TRPL+2CHLD	Triple +2 children	Room for three adults and two children
4 AD + 1 CHD (2-5)	Quadriple + child (2-5)	Room for four adults and a child from 2 to 5 years old

If the voucher or hotel reservation says "extra bed", then always specify what is meant by this in a particular case. After all, it can be a bed, a sofa, a folding bed, and even a simple mattress.

Some additional designations that are used in the classification of guest accommodation in a hotel:

• ExB (extra bed) - the possibility of providing an extra bed.
• ADL is an adult. Usually, an adult is considered a person over 12 years old.
• CH - child 6-12 years old.
• ch - child under 6 years old.
• inf (infant) - infant, a child under two years old.

If you are going on vacation with a child, while his age requires more comfortable conditions, then when choosing accommodation, you need to take into account some aspects.

Be sure to pay attention to:

• How is the hotel located relative to the sea, train station, center. What transfer options does it have in case you need to get to the train station, airport or hospital;
• what rooms does the hotel offer and is it possible to put an extra bed;
• what amenities are available in the rooms;
• is there a children's menu in the restaurant, is there children's animation, a kids club, babysitting services;
• what is the territory near the hotel, are there children's attractions and other entertainment;
• what beach is the hotel. For families with children, it is desirable that the beach be sandy, with a convenient entry into the water;
• What kind of pool is on site. It is desirable that it be heated;
• what additional services are there (for example, laundry, dry cleaning, babysitting);
• is there a first-aid post or a doctor nearby;
• how noisy it is in the evenings.

As a rule, the points described above correspond well to hotels with a number of stars of 4 and above.

When placing with children, it is important to know some of the rules that the hotels themselves set. For example, the most important detail is the cost of accommodation with children, which must be specified on the hotel booking website.

Usually, children under two years of age are considered "infants" and are not charged for them. Children from 2 to 5 years old can also stay free of charge, as long as they do not have an extra bed.

If a child is over five years old and requires an extra bed or sofa, then the charge for him is about half the price for an adult tourist. Children over 12 are considered adults and will be charged full price.
