What counts as a "significant change".

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?

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.

That was my point - it isn't an interconnecting room if it's just 'a room', so shouldn't be described as one. The problem the OP has is that they are describing 2 rooms that are interconnected as one interconnected room and have given them a double room (just one room) as an alternative accommodation, and they are saying it is the same (even though 2 rooms connected is not the same as one room that isn't connected to anything).

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.

So, Easyjet are allowing a switch to another hotel without further charges - and the room type that you wanted from the get go ?

If so, well done that man.

Not quite - if the cost is lower - I get refunded - if higher I pay the difference - but it's better than ending up in one room!

But OMG - they don't half make it so difficult!

That's their default mode.

And for clarity. This is the description.

Looks clear enough to me.

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.

See above. Hardly insignificant.

..but you have only just posted that screen shot and the extra information.

And is totally consistent with everything I mentioned.

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. 

To confirm. Two standard doubles was LESS than one interconnecting. One interconnecting equates to two rooms, each with it's own bathroom.
