What is a Twin Room in a Hotel?

A twin room in a hotel refers to a room that has two separate single beds, each designed for one person.
It’s perfect for two guests who do not want to share a bed.

Each bed in a twin room comes with its own bedding, headboard and bedside tables. Whether you’re booking a luxury stay or a discounted hotel, twin rooms provide a shared space with the privacy of sleeping separately.

Twin Room & Double Room: What’s the Difference?

A twin room features two single (twin) beds whereas a double room has one large double/queen/king bed. A twin room is ideal for friends, colleagues or siblings whereas a double room can be opted by couples, solo travellers wanting more space. Many hotels can convert twin rooms into double rooms by joining the two single beds with a mattress topper.

  • Friends traveling together who want to share a room but not a bed.
