These rooms are also popular among friends who want to stay together. According to some hotels, though, adjoining rooms differ from connecting rooms.
Adjoining rooms are usually located next to one another; you must leave one room to access the other.
Connecting rooms, on the other hand, are also next to each other, but they are connected through a dedicated door that can be locked (and might share the bathroom), and there is no need to leave the room through the main door to access the second room.
WHEN TO CHOOSE ADJOINING ROOMS
Choosing hotel rooms close to each other is perfect for groups of friends traveling together, several couples traveling in the same party, or families with older kids (young adults).
Adjoining rooms can also be located across the hall from each other, but they are not connected through a door. They are close but separated (either by a corridor or a wall). These rooms are ideal for groups of friends who want to stay close to each other.
WHEN TO CHOOSE CONNECTING ROOMS
These rooms are on the same hotel floor and share a door connecting both spaces. The door can be closed and sometimes even locked. You do not need to exit your room to enter the other room.
This accommodation type is a family’s favorite, giving parents peace of mind and a little privacy. A connecting room helps you ensure your kids sleep (or play) in their room without any risk.
Ok… now that you know the difference, let’s check out some of the best Crete hotels with connecting rooms preferred by families
