The point is you are paying for one bed, one living area, one bathroom, whether you are a single traveller or as a couple. I’m in a hotel room at the moment with a bed and a sofa, can host 4 people or me, it’s the same size. At breakfast I

The room will be about the same size as a room with a double bed in, so 80% seems a massive difference

London surface trains have aircon, as do many underground lines.
