capacity:persons=* indicates the capacity of the feature in terms of (maximum) number of persons.

Many features use capacity=* for this.

How to map

Add the tag capacity:persons=* to a node or area which also has a main feature tag such as amenity=hospital, tourism=guest_house or leisure=stadium

Formats

Standard value is a number.

Ranges use "-" or "to". Samples:

"-" may be preferable.

">" and "<" indicates that the capacity is above or below that number. Samples:

Some features use "lessthan" for "<", or "andabove" for ">".

Common combinations

Example

A tourism=guest_house got 8 rooms with 6 double beds and 3 single

In case you'd like to tag which room got how many beds, use Simple_Indoor_Tagging
