Can you arrange an extra room or bed for a teenager/child at an Egyptian hotel on arrival, and is it cheap?

A review about the Posh category at a Sunrise-brand hotel: a family booked for 3+1 (11yo child) actually got a room meant for 2+1, and staff failed to bring a proper extra bed for the second child until 5am — three people ended up sharing one bed. The extra sofa/single bed for a third adult or teen has a sagging mattress, uncomfortable even for a lighter person.

Don't expect fast or individual check-in at night even with a premium room category — at night reception works like a regular shared queue, and 'free' late check-in/early check-out isn't reliably honored.

Best practical tip: ask directly at hotel reception upon arrival about an extra room or connecting rooms — sometimes they can find something, but for an added fee, not for free or a token amount.

Don't expect to buy an extra room on-site for a token amount even if rooms happen to be free at check-in — travelers report the price will still be significant.

Families traveling with a 17-year-old and parents often find that standard rooms are just one room, and booking a separate room through the tour operator is very expensive; it's worth checking in advance whether the hotel has family rooms or suites with separate sleeping areas.
