Word origin

双 (shuāng, "double") + 人 (rén, "person") + 房 (fáng, "room") forms a compound that names a room by its number of occupants.

Usage tips

  • English speakers may picture a double bed in a double room, but this Chinese label mainly identifies two-person capacity, so the bed arrangement may need separate confirmation.
