Superior room - what is it?

As a rule, hotel rooms are divided into two categories: and if you see the abbreviation STD - Standard on the website - it means that they are offering you a standard room.

Superior room, unlike a typical standard room, has apartments with an improved plan and a larger size.

The average area of ​​Superior is 21-26 sq. m.

In ordinary hotels, only a small part of this type of rooms is found.

In almost every country there are hotels in which all rooms are Superior. But in this case, the description of the hotel should indicate “Superior hotel”.

Note: in 5 or 4 star hotels, such apartments are considered the cheapest and most affordable, since standard ones are not offered there.

Unlike a standard room, the area of ​​which often does not exceed 10-12 square meters, the Superior bedrooms are larger and, in addition to the bed, have a sofa that folds out, allowing a small family to live in it. Most of these rooms have small tables (often folding ones) with chairs. If you see the abbreviation Dbl on the website: this means you are offered a room with a double bed. If the website indicates Superior Limited View Room Double, this means that the room has two bedrooms.

It is worth noting: mandatory conditions for their arrangement are the presence of a minimum set of household appliances - a small refrigerator, electric kettle, hairdryer, telephone, TV, air conditioning and a bathroom.

Beds in these rooms can be of 2 types - either 2 single beds or a large double bed.

Superior often have a picturesque view from the window. This factor influenced the classification of such rooms by window type.

View from the window

A beautiful view from the window is another factor that distinguishes superior apartments from standard ones.

Depending on where the windows of the balcony or terrace face, the rooms are divided into:

• Superior no view. The room does not have a picturesque view from the window;
• Superior sea/ocean view – luxurious view of the sea/ocean;
• Superior garden view– from the bedroom windows you can see a gorgeous garden;
• Superior city view. A room with a balcony, has a view of the city;
• Superior pool. There is a swimming pool, the bedroom windows overlook it;
• Superior Corridor – the window faces the corridor;
• Superior room at hill side area - view of mountains or hills;
• Superior building. It is located in the main building and is larger in area than the usual Superior.
• ROH (run of the house) – neither the type of room nor the view from the window is specified.

These are the main options, others are possible, depending on the area in which the hotel is located.

In addition, the room capacity of a Superior hotel can be divided into types depending on how many people will live in it and in which part of the building it is located.

So, there are several more types of Superior:

• Double superior. The apartment is designed for 2 people. There is a large bed for two;
• Superior Room 2 ADL - the room is designed for two people. If there is a postscript “CHD”, it means there is an extra bed for a child inside;
• Superior bb - residents of such rooms go to breakfast every day;
• Superior deluxe. These types of rooms are classified as superior. However, they can be much larger than regular apartments. Depending on the type of hotel, their area ranges from 20 to 38 square meters. They also have better repairs and a more comfortable environment. Household appliances of only improved quality;
• Superior twin. The room is designed for 2 people. There are 2 separate single beds;
• Room Superior family. “Room Superior Family” - this translation means that the room is intended for family living. Depending on how many people the room is designed for, its area may be larger than that of a regular superior.

And now some practical recommendations:
1. Decide on personal preferences. The tourist must decide on his desires and what he expects from a hotel room. At the same time, you need to take into account your financial capabilities. Pay special attention to the room and the hotel itself if children are going on vacation with you. If you are planning a vacation in another country, familiarize yourself with the classification of their hotels in advance;
2. Compare the star rating of hotels and their prices. Sometimes a three-star hotel is not much more expensive than a two-star one, but the ideal conditions in the room speak for themselves;
3. Explore the features of hotel stars:
   • 1 star. Bedroom area no more than 10 square meters. Almost all amenities are on the floor. They can be shared between several rooms or the entire floor. For guests of such hotels, meals are not included in the price;
   • 2 stars. Such hotels have more than one type of room. Each room must have a bathroom, and the price may include breakfast;
   • 3 stars. The average apartment area is 12 square meters. There should be a minibar, telephone, TV. There is a full bathroom, which should have soap, shampoo, gel, and possibly bathrobes. The hotel must have at least 2-3 facilities: a gym, a swimming pool, a massage room, a sauna or a swimming pool, rooms for business meetings, a hairdresser;
   • 4 stars. The level of service and comfort is excellent. There is definitely a 24-hour restaurant, you can use the laundry service, exchange currency, visit the gym or pool. In addition to the standard set of household appliances, there is a safe and hairdryer. The area cannot be less than 13 square meters;
   • 5 stars. The highest level of apartment comfort. There is a doorman at the entrance, and you can use the services of a porter. Room service is available 24 hours a day and food can be ordered at any time. A prerequisite is that the apartment should not be less than 16 square meters. You can ask for exclusive services.
4. Do you need food? This should be decided in advance. Depending on the type of room, free meals are possible - 1, 2, 3 times a day or the All Inclusive system;
5. Consider the time of check-in and check-out from the room. The price of accommodation depends on this;
6. Are additional services needed? You should also think about this in advance, ask the administrator of the selected hotel about the availability of the necessary household appliances, the view from the window, whether noise and other factors will interfere.

Take note: explore possible discounts on housing. Sometimes they are associated with the off-season, and sometimes with temporary inconveniences for vacationers. Therefore, it is better to find out the reason for the price reduction in advance.

Choosing a boarding house during your holiday is one of the important factors for a perfect holiday. Superior is chosen by those who want to get increased comfort conditions at a reasonable price. This type of classification makes it possible to choose a room depending on the view outside the window and the number of people who will be in it.
