Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions travellers ask before booking.

What's the difference between a standard and deluxe room?

Deluxe rooms are typically larger or have a better view, though the exact difference varies by hotel.

Is a suite always worth the upgrade?

Only if you'll use the separate living space β€” for a short stay, a standard room often makes more sense.

Do room type names mean the same thing at every hotel?

No β€” naming conventions vary widely, so always check the specific size and amenities listed.

Should I trust the listing photos?

They're a good starting point, but recent guest-uploaded photos often give a more realistic view.

Can I request a specific room type after booking a standard rate?

You can ask, but upgrades are subject to availability and sometimes an added fee.
