双人间 (shuāngrénjiān, "double room") combines 双 (shuāng, "two"), 人 (rén, "person"), and 间 (jiān, "room") to name a room for two people.

Usage tips

  • In everyday hotel Chinese, the number of guests and the number of beds are separate details, so asking 有几张床 (yǒu jǐ zhāng chuáng, "how many beds are there") can prevent a booking mix-up.
