Holiday situation - AIBU?

[Mirrors123]

6 adults go on holiday. 2 couples have nice double bedrooms. 1 couple has a twin room with two single beds and has to pay the same. Is this unfair or AIBU?

I thought this was going to be x has an en-suite and 18 children, y has an end-suite and no children, z has 4 children the bathroom is downstairs and she only eats pomegranates. I was ready for complicated

A more usual style of MN conundrum, indeed.

Draw straws, ask if anyone wants the twin ( though people get oddly defensive about that, in case it might suggest they aren’t swinging from the chandeliers all the time) or look for somewhere else. It doesn’t rate a lower share of the cost, though.

We had a twin room in a hotel last week and the only disadvantage was not being able to nudge the snorer across the chasm.

Yeah, it's not the beds, though, it's the lack of an ensuite! The main bathroom could be on another floor or you could have the other couples using it too if it's easier to reach or has thee only tub or the only decent shower! It all needs thrashing out before you go so everyone knows the deal.

Can the 2 singles have access to a main bathroom?

I'd prefer to singles to be fair

Definitely draw straws! If one couple is immediately assuming they get the 'better' room then I agree the holiday is doomed already.

We went away with friends once and they insisted me have the master suite so all of our children were on the same floor. We went away again this year and I insisted they choose their favourite room... maybe that's a reason why we've been away together several times!

I think if you’re already calculating fairness to this level of nitpicking before you’ve even booked it then you probably should swerve the holiday! Each couple will have a bedroom each, the couple with the twin room can have sole use of the main bathroom in lieu of an en-suite and just push they two singles together if sleeping right next to your OH is that much of an issue

Would you still feel the same if the two singles couldn't be pushed together? Or if they weren't the standard small when you arrived? Would you all still prefer the room?
The best rental I've seen had a double in the smaller room that could be easily separated.
Have been to a few where the single has been very questionable in size. Caravan size, pillows hanging over as they are too big, and ones that aren't as wide as a cot and not much longer.

At least when you read double or kingsize you know what size to expect.

Yabu

Ah, that changes thins a bit imo.

King sized with an ensuite.
Double with an ensuite.
Twin bedroom , no ensuite, so hallway bathroom no doubt.

Think rooms should be priced differently to reflect the differences. So if £1000 for the week, perhaps £425, £350, £225 per couple for example.

Pick your comfort level!

Who the fuck would want to go on holiday with their partner and sleep in single beds, unless you were about 95 years old maybe.

And 2 singles pushed together is a nightmare, always ends up with one of you falling through the middle.

I just wouldn't go if I couldn't have the sleeping arrangements I wanted

They're not all the same though are they if two bedrooms have nice comfortable double beds and one bedroom has two single beds.

or, two bedrooms could have lumpy uncomfortable double beds and one bedroom has two extremely comfortable luxury beds.....

Some twins can be zipped together to form a double.

I don’t really know why you’re falling through the middle ccc unless you haven’t figured out you can have sex on one or other of the single beds.

I’d pay extra for the single bed room. I’d much rather dh in a separate bed

Just rotate rooms every few days so everyone gets the exact same.

I have fallen through more times than I can think of. We move too much.

I don’t really know why you’re falling through the middle ccc unless you haven’t figured out you can have sex on one or other of the single beds

Because TatianaLarina
A. having sex doesn't just involve lying motionless on a tiny bed. I've had sex numerous times on single beds in the past and one or other of you invariably ends up falling out or down the middle if pushed together
and B. I don't want to just have sex then climb into a single bed. I want to sleep together with my DH, which then leads to one or other being uncomfortable on the join of the beds or falling through

Would have thought that was obvious!

The people insisting they would LOVE the kiddie room... Yeah, okay

OMG, it’s almost as if different people like different things!! PMSL LMAO 😂 😜😆

Hard to have sleepy spontaneous sex if you are in separate beds.

It wouldn't particularly bother me to be honest. It's only for a week.

However, if you haven't even gone on the holiday yet and you are having issues with the arrangements already I honestly don't think a group holiday is right for you. I find you need to be pretty easy going and happy to compromise to enjoy a group holiday. If you're this worked up about beds how are you going to cope with splitting costs for food, drink etc or all agreeing on activities?

I would agree to go but I would expect to draw straws or similar to see who got which room

Id prefer the two single beds

If it's that much of a fuss, ask to pick straws or something!

It sounds like you'd be better all booking into a hotel with rooms exactly the same.

Either pay equally and draw straws or habe slightly different prices for each comfort level

I agree it's unfair if someone insists on equal split but then comes up.with some spurious reason why the must have the best room.

I've changed my vote since the update of no ensuite etc.

The twin room should be cheaper and if i was in one of the other rooms, I'd happily pay more.

So just offer to pay more for the “better” room? Then see how the other couples respond.
