  • The apartment has one double-bedded bedroom and one single.
  • Please confirm if the suite is double-bedded or twin-bedded.

Advanced Usage

Notes on Meaning

• The term specifically refers to the presence of a double bed. It does not describe the size of the room, only its primary sleeping accommodation.
• It is distinct from "double room," which can sometimes be ambiguous as a "double room" might contain either one double bed or two single beds. "Double-bedded" removes this ambiguity by specifying the bed type.
