  • M

    Marc

    Asked on October 5th, 2025

    Are there any options in the hotels to have three in a room for older parents and adult son?

    Accommodation
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten October 2025

      Triple rooms can be booked; however, they are suitable to accommodate two adults and one child. For three adults, these rooms may feel a bit tight, as they typically feature one double bed and one foldaway bed, with limited space for luggage. As an alternative, you may consider booking one twin room and one single room, which would offer more comfort.
