What about une chambre double ?

- I was marked wrong on the 'double' example because I was following this example.

This question relates to:French lesson "Position of French Adjectives - More adjectives that go BEFORE nouns"

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

Talking to another French native she amended the previous response a bit:

"Une chambre double" is a fixed term, used when you order a double room in a hotel.

"Une double chambre" is a room subdivided into two units, somehow.

It is "une chambre double", also according to a native French speaker whom I asked about this specifically. -- Chris.
