What age where your children when they started getting their own hotel room instead of a family room?
Single girl.

What about in youth hostel type places?
We always book a family room when we stay in youth hostels. I feel like the age for this are different in YH?

@Theteenandme children can go in single sex dorms in youth hostels from 18. I prefer a family room though. But that's just me

@Theteenandme my two are 20 and 17 , just had their first holiday in their own room...its usually down to the cost too

All together in a family room then in twin rooms when older teenagers. I'd share with my daughter, my husband with my son. After 18, they didn't want to come on holiday with us anyway! 😢

When they were 16 and 9 (same sex children) when staying in hotels. We’d mostly done villa / apartment holidays up to that point.

They had their own rooms from about their mid teens onwards. They wouldn't have wanted to be in with us then any more than we would have wanted them to be.

16 in a hotel - under that most YHs won't allow under 18s in a dorm.

We did the split by sex when they were teens so DH with the boy and me with the girls otherwise we would have needed 3 rooms instead of 2. DS stopped coming with us when he was about 15 and DD was 17 by then so she shared with her younger sister and DH and I got some peace and privacy

I have never stayed in a YH, I wasn’t even aware families could!

About 14 for DS but earlier if he had brought a friend on holiday. Say 12?

Haven’t stayed in YHs. Our “kids” are 30 and 22, grandchild 5. We still all sleep together in a family room.

Mine are 16 and 12 (one of each) and we still book family rooms.

Because of price.

In hotels, we had family rooms up till about 18; in holiday resorts separate rooms much younger, quite often a twin room attached to ours or an apartment with two separate sleeping spaces, not necessarily divided by a wall. Mine same sex though not always on good terms, so we did occasionally have to split and share with a child....

We get air b&b's for UK trips so we can have our own rooms.

We tend to get two bed appartments but on occasion that we are in a UK premier inn we’ve had a family room. They are 10
and 12 and I think not far off having their room as long as it was very close by, which of course is very difficult to guarantee. 12 year old moans that he doesn’t get a proper bed in the premier inn.

If it’s just me and dd - well she’s in her twenties and still shares with me. Cheaper

just our trio of children no partners...they are in their 40's and still happy to share a family room with dh or i when we travel/meet up somewhere fancy enough to require a hotel.
never ever would i spit up "the family" during the teen years. even early 20's.

DD and I went to Montreal, shared a room and a bed. DH met DS in a much larger city, to pick up work place supplies, again not only shared a room but shared a bed.
I met up with my DD, her family AND her partner YUP all 5 of us in one room (age range from 6-66).

DH has ridiculous status with at least 2 of the big hotel chains. So we get free rooms on tbe occasions we want them, and specify interconnecting, which we have always got.
So, 8 and 10 - but interconnected, so the kids could walk through to us.

We also went for interconnected rooms from around the age of 8 and early teens for two rooms next door to each other.

Same as pp, just me and dd. She's 19 and if I'm paying, we're sharing. If she's paying for a holiday, it isn't with me, but when it is, she sucks it up.

My son was 16 when he had his own room which to date has been either next door or next door but one. Game changer for us all, but we do share when fiendishly expensive to do otherwise (New York) or if it is a one nighter. Make sure I have a key card though as he sleeps like a log (and sometimes locks himself out).

In B&Bs and hotels, we still tend to get a family room so DS (16) is still in with us
AirB&B, we usually get a two bed house/flat
In holiday villas/apartments, he's had his own room from outset
In Premier Inn we had a family room but the spare beds were shocking (won't do that again!)

It really depends what sort of accommodation is available. We only have the one DC and aren't on a tight budget, so we haven't had to try to cut costs. I did a weekend break in York and in Amsterdam and booked a family room for DSis, DNiece and me both times. Think I would probably have done the same for a week's stay though, it suited us all OK.

We put my 2 in their own room (together) in the rooom next to us for a Uk city break when they were 10 and 14.
We usually go SC so it was never an issue

DS is 17 and had his own room in a hotel in Greece this year. Usually you can't have any under 18's alone but he was near to our room, it wasn't a big hotel, and the hotel wasn't bothered. We've done a lot of villas or two bed apartments to get around him having a separate room over the last few years which has worked much better for us

We have a boy and girl, 11 and 13. We usually book two twin rooms and have a boys and girls room. It keeps costs down and they can't share with each other.

I don’t know about youth hostels but we used to do road trips across Europe and I used to have my own hotel room from 14. One time the room I was allocated was in the ground floor which my parents didn’t like so I ended up swapping and having their big suite style room and then got a small 3/4 bed! We still laugh about it.
