Hotel room classification



When booking a hotel room or buying a vacation voucher, they write the abbreviation of the type of accommodation on the territory of the hotel. From this abbreviation, you can understand how many people the room is designed for, how many beds it has, the type of room, what the view from the window will be and other details. The table below will help you find out which room you will be staying in.
