Do hotels in Norway provide cots and extra beds for children?
Cots, extra beds and free stays for children at the chains.
Short answer
Yes, chains such as Scandic and Strawberry provide cots and extra beds, but you should request them when you book. At Scandic, children under 13 stay free when sharing a room with an adult, and at Strawberry up to two children under 9 stay free in the parents' bed.
Why
- Scandic says it is happy to provide cots for babies and toddlers if you tell it what you need when you book.
- Strawberry lets you choose between a crib, sharing the parents' bed or the child's own bed when you book.
- At Strawberry, children over 9 need their own bed, and extra charges per night apply.
Details
Scandic says many of its hotels have connecting rooms, family rooms and play areas with toys, crafts and games. Strawberry does not include extra towels and pillows when a child sleeps in the parents' bed, but you can add them at reception for a fee.
Tip
Give the children's ages in the booking and ask for a cot in writing, so the hotel can have it ready when you arrive.
What may differ
Rules for free stays depend on the chain and the child's age, and independent hotels set their own prices for extra beds.
