Is it necessary to choose a family room when traveling with children? Many friends, as soon as they travel with children, open Ctrip and specifically choose family rooms to book

They find that, apart from hotels with a family theme that have more family rooms to choose from, other hotels have fewer family rooms available, and the prices are relatively high, which can be painful when making a reservation. So, is it a must to select a family room when traveling with children? The editor says: not necessarily. If you don't have two or three children, and if you have one child who is older and doesn't want to stay in a separate room, most families traveling with children can choose other room types to meet their needs. Let me introduce you to how to choose a room type suitable for traveling with children. Choose a room with two beds, and the beds are larger Some room types are marked as twin rooms, but the beds are 1.2 meters wide and can be combined, so when put together, the bed is 2.4 meters wide. Two small children can sleep in the middle, and the adults on both sides, which is very spacious and proper, possibly even more comfortable than some family rooms; Open the hotel list page on Ctrip, and you can see the bed size under the room type name. Choose a room with a 1.8-meter king bed and a double sofa or sofa bed Some king rooms also come with a double/triple sofa or a sofa bed, which can also meet the needs of a family trip—mom can sleep with the child on the king bed, and dad can spend the night on the sofa/sofa bed. Just ask the hotel butler for an extra pillow and blanket, and the comfort level will not decrease. Hotels with sofas or sofa beds will reflect this in the pictures and details of the room facilities, remember to click on the details to take a closer look. Choose a room type with a slightly larger area In addition to paying special attention to the bed type, room size is the most easily overlooked aspect. Many families make reservations based on the suitable bed type, only to find upon arrival that the room is too small, making it feel too crowded and affecting comfort. Therefore, when choosing room size for family trips, please select rooms that are marked as having an area of more than 30 square meters. Click the arrow after the room type, and the room area is generally displayed right below the room type name. 📝Note tips: Some hotels will thoughtfully provide children's exclusive toiletries, children's slippers, and even baby bathtubs, bath toys, and special children's laundry detergent, but these items may not be placed in the room, remember to ask the front desk butler to provide them; Some hotels offer children's beds and extra beds, but these require an additional fee. There is one thing that does not incur an extra charge, but the hotel may be equipped with it—a bed guardrail, so when the child sleeps on the side, they are less likely to roll off, which makes the bed area better distributed and gives parents an extra sense of security and more comfortable sleep. For families with very young children, if there is a need to prepare complementary food, do not hesitate to speak up with the hotel or B&B. Even if they cannot lend the kitchen to ensure safety, they will normally make it according to your needs, such as simple steamed egg custard, clear porridge, etc. If you are traveling during peak seasons like the Spring Festival and have special service requirements for the hotel due to children or the elderly, you should book now. Otherwise, if you choose at the last minute, you may not be able to book a room, or you may not be able to choose a room that satisfies you, leading to reduced comfort during the trip, or even causing unhappiness among family members. Finally, the editor wishes everyone can pick their favorite hotel, stay in the right room type, spend money wisely, and have a happy Spring Festival.
