Does 'free child stay' at a Turkey hotel include meals?
Based on 1 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
Not automatically. 'Free child stay' typically covers the room only, not meals. Always confirm meal inclusion separately before arrival.
What the community said
A hotel confirmed a booking for 2 adults and a 13-year-old child, but the voucher listed meals for 2 only. Despite the child appearing on the booking, the hotel maintained that meals covered only the two adults. 'Free child stay' and 'free child meals' are separate conditions — one does not imply the other.

When evaluating a hotel's comfort level, note that at full capacity some Turkish resorts offer roughly 18 square meters of grounds per guest, including children. This is a useful benchmark when choosing a family-friendly property.

A week's accommodation in Turkey for 2 adults and a child cost around 150,000 RUB (flights excluded). The hotel's own nightly rate was roughly 10,000 RUB, which would total 70,000–80,000 RUB for 7 nights. The gap reflects tour operator or OTA markups.
