single occupancy

Room for one

Single occupancy describes accommodation intended for or used by one person only.

Hotels charge a single occupancy rate for rooms with one guest, often lower than double occupancy.

The conference rate is $150 for single occupancy.

The term appears in housing contexts too—a single occupancy apartment or room is designed for one resident.
