Do you get your teen(s) their own room?

So far, we have always done shared rooms, suites, or airbnbs.

It costs more, but everyone is happier for the extra space.

For us, everyone is happier when our checkout bill is $3500 instead of $7000 lol

I bet the kids aren’t. Cheapo.

DP here. They are. They get to stay in nicer hotels, have nicer excursions and a larger souvenir budget. They truly don’t mind. Sorry yours do.

Well we do the excursions and the two rooms at the Four Seasons or equivalent, so no complaining here my dear.

Why the nasty attitude? Many people have to prioritize their dollars. Sneering at those with less than you or who choose to make different choices is not a good look.

Not as a rule, but they get a bed. I won't make them share a pull out couch.

It really is beautiful here in Paris. The tire fires light up the sunset, and the smoke makes a romantic haze.

We have 3 kids (same gender) and two general rules: parents get a private sleeping space (either own room or suite with some separation for the sleeping area and each kid gets a bed. Otherwise, I don’t think it’s worth the travel. This usually means we get one room with two queens and a cot or sofa bed and one king room, but sometimes there is a suit option that works better.

Separate room? I can barely afford one room! We stay in an Airbnb where everyone gets their own room for much cheaper than one hotel room.

[Anonymous]

No, even as young adults me and friends would crash in one room.

People always say this and I don't find this to be true unless you are staying at some not great places.

[Anonymous]

No, and I never would partly due to cost, partly due to safety.

Once the older one was 15 we got the two of them an adjoining hotel room or at least right next door to us. This is the esp great in Europe and Asia where hotel rooms in city centers tend to be smaller. It’s great but yes it costs a lot more.

We have 4 kids. Two boys and two girls. We either do airbnb with 3 bedrooms, or a resort hotel setup with 3 bedrooms. My kids are too old to all share together, and definitely want our privacy!

Do hotels allow minors to stay in a room alone?
