Choose the right hotel room

Standard, superior and deluxe do not explain the room by themselves. The selected category and its written details matter more than the general gallery.

In brief

Choose the right hotel room

Check area, layout, beds for every guest and essential facilities. Obtain written confirmation of anything you must have.

1. Compare the exact category

Ask what changes between categories: space, renovation, location or equipment. Check whether photographs belong to your selected room rather than a suite or shared area.

2. Read the area and layout

Ask whether the stated area includes the bathroom. Check sloping ceilings, internal steps and convertible furniture. Allow space for luggage and a cot; confirm desk, chair and sockets if working.

3. Confirm every bed

Distinguish double, twin, sofa and extra beds, and ask dimensions. Enter every child’s age and check maximum occupancy. A requested bed preference is not a guaranteed arrangement.

4. Check view and noise

A city or sea view may be partial. Clarify what your rate guarantees. Ask about street exposure, lifts, technical equipment and courtyard rooms; higher floors do not automatically guarantee quiet.

5. Verify essential facilities

Confirm private bathroom, shower or bath, heating, cooling, blackout and opening windows. For access needs, check doors, lifts, bed height and step-free shower for the actual category.
