German: My (Bed)room / My (Hotel) Room In American English, we can say "my room" to mean both "my bedroom" and "my hotel room" as kind of a shortcut. For instance, the following sentences: 1a. As punishment, I had to go to my room. = As punishment, I had to go to my bedroom. 1b. I'm cleaning my room. = I'm cleaning my bedroom. 1c. I decorated my room with purple lights for Halloween. = I decorated my bedroom with purple lights for Halloween. 2a. When I vacationed in Bali last year, my room had a great view of the beach. = When I vacationed in Bali last year, my hotel room had a great view of the beach. 2b. Does my room come with a mini bar too? = Does my hotel room come with a mini bar too? 2c. I checked out of my room at 10 A.M. = I checked out of my hotel room at 10 A.M. Can the same be done in German? Does "mein Zimmer" to mean both "my bedroom" and "my hotel room" when it is obvious from context?Also, when I want to be specific, are "mein Schlafzimmer" (my bedroom) and "mein Hotelzimmer" (my hotel room) correct?

The same answer as to your question in Dutch! I would say Willi's answer might be a bit too formally put. ^^

If you have only one room to live in, then I wouldn't name it 'Schlafzimmer', but simple 'Zimmer'. If you say " I'm cleaning my bedroom." I would think, that your apartment has more rooms. If there are children, they have a 'Zimmer', not a 'Schlafzimmer', but maybe that depends on people how they name it. Yes, a hotel room is a 'Zimmer'.
