Age for hotel room alone

[coffeandteav]

My dd (13) is an only child so has asked to take a friend away with us which is fine but she obviously could not share a cheap premier inn room with my husband.

At what age would you let two kids stay next door in a room? Not many hotels have adjoining doors and can't guarantee it. Maybe on the same floor they can guarantee.

We could rent an apartment but the costs are way more.

It also got me thinking would you do it abroad in an all inc hotel or only in uk? Not many hotels have 2 rooms though some do.

I agree with pp teacher, I'd be far less concerned about 13 year olds than 16 year olds!
Unless I'm misunderstanding the OP is going to be there too, no? So ask for adjoining (PI definitely have them, I have on occasion had the misfortune to be allocated one and asked to be moved because through a door you hear everything) at the booking stage, or for adjacent.
I'd be happy with that from age 10 or so onwards.

At this moment I am in Salisbury north premier inn, in a room with an adjoining door (locked as I am only in one room). They do exist!

We went away last November and my two daughters (13 and 11)and my niece (11) had their own room. My sister (niece's mum) was in the room next door and me and my husband were at the end of the corridor.
We did request at least two rooms together and they were able to guarantee it. It wasn't a PI but I'm sure most places are the same.

Women molest also

So do parents and other children - what are you suggesting? That everyone stays home in their own room ? It's as helpful as saying you might get killed in a car crash, yes you might but you can't live your life availing every possible situation because something awful might happen. Sensible assessment of risk is necessary but you need to stay grounded with it.

Typical nuisances began Ior. All men are complete perverts and children must be shielded from them. If it isn't acceptable for the child to share a room with the husband then it's not acceptable for UP to stay in the room either.

contact the hotels in the town/area that you are planning to stay at and ask?

i went to a hotel for my 10th or 11th birhday and invited a friend along. my mum and dad were in the room next door. it was fine. we were very sensible, what could happen? i dont see what could go wrong if they're sensible? surely it's just like them having a friend in their bedroomat home? but obuously it depends how sensible they are and how much you trust them. etc

Call the premier inn and ask for a connecting room. If they know in advance I’m sure they can arrange something.

I’ve stayed in many a premier inn where there have been connecting rooms. Only issue with them is you can hear everything.

I frightened a colleague in London who I could clearly hear on the phone next door. I opened my door and knocked and knocked on there’s. Their face when they opened the door was priceless.

What absolute rubbish. I take it you don't think women and girls should have their own toilets and changing rooms too. It's not always about being molested it's about having privacy and being comfortable.

Assuming everyone is wearing pyjamas or some other sort of nightwear, I don't understand why it's inappropriate to share a family room.

Then again, I'm old enough to have slept in caravans on holiday that didn't have separate rooms.

We’ve stayed at Inns with our children. No family rooms, suites or inter connecting rooms in most of them. We let our early teen children have their own rooms which were either next door or a few doors down.

Holiday Inn are much more accommodating about interconnecting rooms or rooms next to each other. You won't be able to officially book two children into a room on their own though, you'll need to say that one adult and one child will stay in each room.
