Is it possible to share an individual hotel room?
I'm going to be living in a hotel in Germany for three weeks. I have booked and already payed an individual room for this time.
My girlfriend has just told me that she wants to come to visit me one weekend. We both are Spanish citizens (in case it matters) and we would like to share the room for this time. Is this common? How should I act? Should I send an email to the hotel asking if it is possible?
Best Answer
Definitely contact the hotel and explain your situation. Particularly in Germany. Rules are expected to followed in Germany and it keeps things running efficiently and smoothly. You can always email them anonymously if you want to test the water and find out if it's possible to add her to the room.
Besides, most hotels are booked based on double occupancy and you are likely paying a single-person supplement anyhow. Does your room contain a double bed? Won't be a problem to add a guest. Is it a single bed ( doubtful )? If it is, I'm guessing it's a very small hotel... but many hotels can bring in a cot upon request.
That being said, many hotels in Europe are based on number of people, not number of beds.

Answer 2
I would suggest simply emailing the hotel and saying that the booking actually should be for two people, and that you trust they can update the booking.
See what they say.
If it's a guest house there might be an extra charge (at least to cover breakfast), for many hotels the price is the same for one person or two.
