How to say "accommodations" in Japanese
- 設備せつびnoun, suru verb, transitive verbA common word whose basic senses are equipment, facilities and installation; its 'accommodations' sense covers the physical amenities of a place, so for 'accommodations' as lodging it is seldom the word you want.
- 収容設備しゅうようせつびnounA less common word for 'accommodations' in the sense of facilities for housing or holding people, as in institutions; it concerns accommodating people rather than offering a place to stay.
For 'accommodations' as lodging, neither word is a natural choice: 設備, a common word, really means facilities or equipment, while the less common 収容設備 refers to facilities for housing people.
