It depends what you mean by ‘queen-size’, as the terminology varies! If you request a double room, the bed will generally be 5ft/150cm wide (what in British English is referred to as a king-size bed), but this is only a general guideline – in France double beds are sometimes narrower, but in countries such as Austria, Germany and northern Italy, beds are often wider because they consist of two single mattresses (with individual bedding) on one large base. It’s worth also pointing out that it’s not always possible to book a double room – in some hotels the majority of, if not all, rooms are twin-bedded, particularly in Spain, Switzerland, Norway and Greece.
