TL;DR
A free extra bed for a child is not guaranteed even in studio rooms for 2 adults — always confirm directly with the hotel when booking. Extra beds for adults are usually paid, with cost varying by hotel.
Two-room configurations can vary: one version has a king-size bed in the bedroom and a corner sofa in the living room (sofa didn't fold out). Room location in the building matters too — center rooms are preferable to side rooms facing a neighboring hotel's wall.
When booking a room for two children (ages 16 and 10), it's worth confirming in advance whether the sofa in the second room actually converts into a full sleeping space — this isn't always clear from room photos.
The cost of an extra bed for a teenager/adult child in the room varies by hotel — travelers recommend confirming the exact price directly when booking rather than relying on general estimates.
Even for a studio room booked for 2 adults with an 11-year-old child, a free extra bed is not automatically guaranteed — this option needs to be specifically requested from the hotel when booking.
