What is the difference between twin room and double room? <BR>What type is better for a couple with a child?<BR>Thank you

A twin room probably has two twin beds. A double room could have almost any conceivable combination of one or two beds - - except it will never have just one twin bed.<BR><BR>Yyou simply have to ask, and you should simply ask "what bed can you provide for our child, of "x" years?"<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Usually,in Europe, twin means two small beds that are separate, double means 2 small beds pushed together to make one decent-sized bed.

It is better to get a room with a double than a twin. The posters above are all correct -- a twin consists of 2 twin beds; a double ordinarily means 1 double-sized bed, but can mean 2 singles pushed together or 1 queen. It some instances, you might even find 2 double-sized beds. I've found the rooms classified as doubles are generally (but not always) larger, so as to accommodate a cot for the child.<BR><BR>You DO need to ask though, and mention you need a bed for the child.

My experience has been different from Shannon's, I have found that twin rooms can be larger, on average, than doubles to allow a little extra room between the beds. Of course,we're talking of generalities, not specifics. As others have suggested,just ask for what you want: for example, "a room to accommodate three of us, my husband,myself and our child." Each hotel will tell you what they have. <BR>Some might offer one double bed (bed for two) plus a daybed or twin bed that is already part of the room. Others might have a room with one double bed and offer to bring in a cot or twin bed for the child. Just note that a room not usually equipped for an extra bed might end up being crowded, unless it is exceptionally large to begin with.
