Typically, a settlement according to this scheme is not used in hotels, or the number of SNGL rooms is very small. That's why when you book the SNGL option, you can end up with a DBL room.
standard room DBL is a room with double bed or shifted single beds (DBL twin). The DBL rooms are larger than the SNGL and much better furnished.
TWIN variant- This is a room in which there are two separate beds. Typically, the TWIN scheme involves accommodation in a typical single room with two separate single beds.
TRPL abbreviation means accommodation in a triple room. This option means that the tourist will be provided with a room with a double bed and a single bed or three single beds.
QDPL variant means a room for four tourists, equipped with four beds.
