Hotel room for 2 - single or double?
I'm pretty confused. In the U.S. the meaning for the room types are as fallows:
King Size - one bed - 1 or 2 people
Queen - one bed - 1 or 2 people
2 Doubles - 2 beds - 2-4 people
In Europe it seems like they go by:
Single or Double
When you change number of people from 1 to 2, sometimes it changes the price sometimes it doesn't. Does single and double means the same as it sounds?
I mean, if you pick single you going to get one bed and only one small bed
so only ONE person can sleep there or what?
Please explain.
Thank

The UK and Amsterdam are two place I can comment on with personal experience. A single does mean a single bed for one person, a twin will be two twin(single)beds and a double will be a double or queen size bed for two people. There are very few king size beds in the UK hotels you will likely get a double or at best a queen size bed. So if you need two beds or one bed for two people make sure and specify that there are two people in the room. 
You might can book a single room rate and get a bigger bed but it's not guaranteed.
