The standard seems to be around 60 cm (24 inches). With traditional 15 cm (6 inch) tiles, people used to stack 4 tiles vertically, which with grout joints was about 61.5 cm (24.2 inches). What tile size are you using? Nowadays, the size is often 30 x 60 cm (12 x 24 inches), so two rows would make sense aesthetically.
Otherwise, the bathtub floor should not be significantly lower than the finished floor level to avoid feeling like you're sitting in a hole while in the tub. On the other hand, a low step-in height is beneficial for older people.

I always thought everyone aimed for a floor-level bathtub.
When you get into a pool, you are also sitting in a hole, by the way.
The bathtub support frame can be placed on the unfinished floor – with a 15cm (6 inch) floor buildup, about 45cm (18 inch) will still be visible (is there any other way?).

We also have 60x30 tiles. The tiles are not installed yet. The bathtub is a Kaldewei Puro. Currently, as mentioned, the tub is positioned so that the tub floor is roughly at the height of the unfinished floor (= screed level). However, this means only about 45 cm (18 inches) of the tub is visible. Our current tub shows 58 cm (23 inches), and my mother's is 56 cm (22 inches). It seems about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) too low to us. Or is this handled differently nowadays, as BeHaElJa suggests?
