Is Double room the same as master bedroom?
I am translating a touristic text and I have encountered this difficulty. In Spanish, we say "habitación de matrimonio", which means something like "the room of the couple of the house, the room for the parents". I have found too that in English you use "double room" and "master bedroom", and I would like to know if they can be used interchangeably or if they have different meanings. Thanks in advance, and please excuse my English, I am not a native speaker.

Never heard of a double room. I’d assume it was two rooms joined together in some way.

In (UK?) English there is both "master bedroom" and "double bedroom". A double bedroom is one that is big enough for a double bed (called a matrimoniale in Italian, and I assume something similar in Spanish). A single bedroom is one that is only large enough for a single bed. A house can have multiple double bedrooms and single bedrooms. One may be called the master bedroom; this would typically be the largest or "best" (in some sense) double bedroom.

In the US, in hotels/motels, "double room" generally refers to a room with two beds. "Master bedroom" generally refers to a bedroom in a normal residence, where it is the largest bedroom, often with connected bathroom, intended for the senior married couple.

I would say that habitación de matrimonio is the equivalent of master bedroom in a private house and possibly honeymoon suite in an hotel. In the UK a double room is one which contains a double bed (big enough for two adults), a twin room is one with two single beds (each big enough for one adult) and a single room is one with one single bed. Obviously a "master bedroom" is, usually, a "double room" but it is possible to see houses for sale advertised as having "three double bedrooms".

These are two different things. A double room is a hotel term. From Collins
a room in a hotel with two beds
While Master Bedroom refers to the largest room in a residence or home, that would usually be the room for the home's owner(s), or the couple. Again from Collins
The master bedroom in a large house is the largest bedroom.
