Hotel Rooms for Three

Many of the four and five-star hotels offer only king or twin bedding, requiring a roll-away bed for an extra person. We're two adults with a 15 y/o who is basically a 3rd adult. Is this standard practice in HK?

Yes, it is fairly standard practice in Hong Kong hotels, especially in four- and five-star properties, to offer rooms with only king or twin beds for two adults. For a third person, most hotels provide a roll-away bed or an extra bedding option, but this usually comes with an additional charge.

Since your 15-year-old is effectively an adult in terms of space needs, the hotel may charge an extra adult rate rather than a child rate, even if using a roll-away bed.

Here are some typical practices and tips:

  • Many hotels allow three people in a room with a roll-away bed, but some smaller rooms may feel cramped with three adults.
  • Check the room size and confirm with the hotel whether a roll-away bed will fit comfortably.
  • Some hotels offer “triple rooms” or “family rooms” with three beds already included; these can be more comfortable than adding a roll-away.

Booking platforms often show whether a room can accommodate three adults. It’s advisable to:

  • Contact the hotel directly to confirm bedding arrangements and extra bed availability.
  • Ask about any additional fees for the roll-away bed or extra person.
  • Consider booking two rooms if comfort is a priority, though this increases cost.

Overall, while roll-away beds are standard for adding a third person, it’s important to confirm the setup in advance to ensure comfort, especially for older children or teenagers who need full-sized sleeping space.
