Twin vs. Single

Put simply, a single has one bed, normally a single/one person bed. Your rate would therefore be for just one person.

A twin tends to be two beds. Quite frequently, this means two single/one person beds.

You didn’t ask but the other option you may see is “double”. This generally means a double bed. Sometimes it is available for single occupancy, but generally assume it is for two people unless otherwise specified.

oooh also, sometimes single simply does refer to the number of people in a room so you COULD in theory get a nice big bed for just your wee self. But don't count on it. If you assume a single is a one person bed you should not be disappointed.

And here the price quoted for a twin is usually per person (and not for the room as it is in the rest of Europe) ... so watch out for that one!
