What it really means

A bedroom with a double bed (or space for one). In UK adverts, room prices depend on size: double rooms cost more than singles. "Small double" means the bed fits but not much else.

Chinese explanation

放得下双人床的卧室。英国广告中房间按大小定价：双人间比单人间贵。"Small double"意为床放得下，但别的空间所剩无几。

Example conversation

A: Is it a single or a double room? B: A double with a small desk by the window.

A：是单人间还是双人间？ B：双人间，窗边还有一张小书桌。
