Enkeltrom

Enkeltrom is a hotel room category used in Norwegian hospitality to describe a room intended for single occupancy. The term translates to “single room” in English. In practice, an enkeltrom is a room designed for one adult, though bed configurations may vary between properties.

Typical features and size: An enkeltrom usually includes one bed suitable for a single traveler, and often a compact layout with basic furniture such as a desk, chair, wardrobe, and a private bathroom. The available space and level of furnishings can vary widely from budget to mid-range hotels. Some enkeltroms have a small double bed or a slightly larger bed, while others offer a standard single bed. Amenities commonly include Wi-Fi, TV, and heating or air conditioning.

Booking and pricing: The rate for an enkeltrom is generally lower than for rooms intended for two or more occupants. If two guests stay in a room labeled enkeltrom, hotels may charge an additional per-person fee or require the booking to be for single occupancy only. Policies vary by property, so it is advisable to confirm bed type, bathroom access, and maximum occupancy at the time of booking.

Variants and considerations: In some properties, enkeltrom may be a compact room with an en-suite bathroom, while in hostels or budget accommodations the bathroom might be shared. When booking, travelers should check whether breakfast is included, what the bed size is, and whether the room meets their needs for space and privacy.

Etymology: The word enkeltrom combines enkelt (single) and rom (room) and is a standard term in Norwegian hotel listings.
