Rooms:
Rooms usually contain a shower/bath and toilet. The specific room types are:

Single Room - a room designed for one person
Double Room - a room containing one king-size or queen-size bed
Twin Room - a room with two single beds
Triple Room - a room containing three single beds or a standard room with an additional single bed

Suites:
Usually located on the higher floors, a suite is subdivided into several types as follows:

Standard Suite - also named junior suite or family suite. It contains a living room, a bedroom, a shower/bath, a toilet, and comfortable furniture.

Deluxe Suite - usually bigger in room size and is newer in room facilities than a Standard Suite.

Executive Suite - usually contains a spacious bedroom with one king-size bed, an elegant living room, and a large bathroom with additional facilities such as a whirlpool bath and an additional toilet. Its area is usually twice as large as a Standard Suite.

Explanation of Other Terms:

Single Room Supplement - Some premises do not have rooms designed for single occupancy. If a single guest wishes to occupy a double/twin room alone, a supplement will be charged by the hotel to reduce the loss in revenue resulting from having one guest instead of two.

Service Charge - A charge levied by some larger establishments on behalf of the staff in return for their superior service rendered to guests.

Government Tax - A tax that the hotel collects for the government for their control and management. Only a few tourist cities have such a tax and the amount is based on the number of the lodgers. The tax is usually required to be paid at the hotel reception by clients themselves.

Room only - The majority of room rates are inclusive of breakfast. Rooms rented on a 'room only' basis will not include breakfast in the price. A breakfast is generally available for additional cost.
