Definition or un/ordered list?
I'm in doubt whether this is a definition list or an un/ordered list. I would say an un/ordered list but on the other side, it could be a definition list with the product name as a key and the price as a value.
Does anyone know which I should choose if you're looking at the sematics?
<dl>
<dt>Product name 1</dt>
<dd>price</dd>
<dt>Product name 2</dt>
<dd>price</dd>
</dl>
Or
<ol>
<li>
<span>Product name 1</span>
<span>price</span>
</li>
<li>
<span>Product name 2</span>
<span>price</span>
</li>
</ol>

What’s the context here? It doesn’t appear to be a list of products (like in a web shop), right? Is name and price the only data about each product? Are the names linked?

It is a shopping basket of a hotel. It contains the name of the room and its price. It can also contain upsell, such as breakfast for example. It will then probably look like this: <dl> <dt>Comfort room</dt> <dd> € 100,00 <dl> <dt>Breakfast</dt> <dd>€ 15,00<dd> <dt>Mini-bar</dt> <dd>€ 10,00<dd> </dl> </dd> </dl>

From MDN:
The HTML
<dl>element represents a description list. The element
encloses a list of groups of terms (specified using the element)
and descriptions (provided by elements). Common uses for this
element are to implement a glossary or to display metadata (a list
of key-value pairs).
Looking at the semantics you should use <dl>, but from my experience I'm telling you to choose whichever you feel most comfortable with!
