What counts as a "significant change".

One interconnecting room is one room that has a door, not two rooms.
That is how I read it.
It would say two interconnecting rooms if it was two.

That's why it's an insignificant change. As you are just losing a door not a room.

I can assure you its two rooms. I have looked at it on the website. You book it as 1 interconnecting room.

We stayed at a hotel which had interconnecting rooms ,we stayed in one ( allocated by the hotel ) but we asked to be moved as noise from next door travelled thru the door between rooms which was in the main room ,there was a young couple next door who liked a bit of  " afternoon delight " but were quite noisy about it

I would say that the phrase 'interconnecting room' ...,..no s .....is where they have you. 
That is what is written in the contract. Room, singular.

But if sold as 2 rooms by the hotel  on occasion then they must have an entrance door in each room which would suggest 2 rooms that internally connect.  I agree with you there. But the word rooms with an s was not what you agreed to..

Dastardly.

Equally you could say interconnecting was what I agreed to.

Grammatically, I'm not sure you can have an interconnecting room - that's just a room. If it was a way to describe just one room, every hotel room in every hotel would be described as an interconnecting room. Interconnecting implies 2 rooms connected together permanently or temporarily. I think EasyJet are taking the mick. If the new room is a double, how do they expect you to manage sleeping arrangements?

Many of the descriptions seem to come from the hotels themselves, hence grammatical errors that aren't picked up. Fortunately I have pictures and the description.

After speaking with several unhelpful easyjet "customer service" agents yesterday (one of whom told me "take it or leave it"), I finally spoke to someone who seemed most helpful. I'll await what happens!!

There are lots of hotel rooms that are not interconnecting.  Interconnecting rooms have an door between two guest rooms that can be locked or unlocked, depending how used.  Your definition on that is correct.  Are you perhaps thinking of the term 'adjacent'.  I would then agree that 'every hotel room in every hotel would be described as' ADJACENT.

One observation - is a lockable interconnecting door necessary ? 

I suspect the OP would be content with any door which could separate his teenage lad from Mum and Dad - which is an entirely reasonable expectation IMO.

Absolutely! Sadly the only accommodation in the whole area that meets this requirment is £1000 extra (it is very nice to be honest!).

Fortunately there is the option to change completely to a different holiday so that looks the best option.

Basic question: did you a price equivalent to 2 rooms?
The hotel's internal methods of logging it as one unit or not is secondary.

- If you were getting 2 x space, beds, bathrooms, etc then changing that to 1x space, bed, bathroom is obviously significant. 
- If you were getting 1x space, beds, bathroom but with an interconnecting door (so that you / friend could book the connecting room) then its debatable whether changing to a room without the option of interconnecting is significant.
