Double bed in Germany
I recently slept in a hotel in Berlin. The hotel is a 4 (maybe 4.5) stars respectable hotel which belongs to a known brand, near the Alexanderplatz. I specifically ordered a king size bed, but when I arrived at the hotel I got two single beds pushed together with two single blankets. After asking the receptionist about it, she said that one can only get twin beds in Germany and together they are king size (i.e. 190x160 cm and not 190x140 cm which is queen size).
While I respect the modesty rules of the locals, can one get a bed for two persons with single mattress (and a single blanket with the same "two persons" size) in Germany?
P.S. All your jokes about cuddling and twin beds are already in this thread.

One of the main reasons is definitely because we have a 'king' bed (they go by sizes here, we went with the biggest size at IKEA 180x200cm).
