TL;DR
In many standard/superior hotel rooms in Sharm El Sheikh for 2 adults and 2 children, you usually get one king bed 180 cm or two joined 90 cm twin beds plus only one extra bed. In practice, one child may need to sleep with the parents, unless the room has a fold-out sofa wide enough for two kids.
A standard room used by a family with children aged 15 and 8 had one double bed and two single beds, so a 2+2 stay can be possible with separate beds for both children.
At the Novotel, a 2+2 booking gets a separate small children's room, but the bed looks about 1.8 m long — a tall child may not fully fit.
In bungalow rooms (around 25 sqm), guest relations confirmed only one extra bed is added, so one child still ends up sleeping with the parents.
Per the room description, the child shares the bed with a parent, and the hotel only adds a baby crib/bassinet, not a separate bed.
At check-in, some hotels ask guests to choose the bed configuration — one large double bed or two separate beds.
One guest booked two standard rooms (building 7): their own room had a double bed, while the kids' room had a double bed, a single bed, and a made-up sofa bed — three sleeping surfaces in one standard room.
Some recommend booking an improved/superior room instead of standard — it's more spacious, with one double bed plus one 1.5-size bed (about 120-140 cm), for only a small price difference.
Some rooms have three bunk beds (the third bed placed where a nightstand would normally be), fitting up to 6 adults — an option for larger groups or families.
If the children are not toddlers, in a typical 2+2 room one of them will likely end up sleeping on a couch/daybed. That means four full separate beds are usually not included.
Some rooms have only one extra sleeping option, such as a rollaway bed or a sofa. In theory two children can fit on that sofa, but it depends on their age and size.
For a 2+2 setup in a superior room, hotels often provide one 180 cm double bed or two 90 cm twin beds pushed together, plus only one extra bed. As a result, one child often has to share the main bed with the parents.
