Hotel Baby Cot Charges

[Ohmama1]

We’ve paid for a holiday to Amsterdam, 2 adults and one child, and added the extra breakfast for all three. My LO is 2 for reference. I’ve emailed to ask for a baby cot in the room (I only choose the hotel as this was a feature offered). I was surprised they have said yes but for 15€ a day. Is this normal? I understand hire fees and I’m not opposed to them but as I’ve already just booked an executive room for space, for 3 people and that is obviously more expensive than for 2 people.

Is this right even though I’ve paid for 3 people already? First holiday so new to this. Thanks everyone 😳

Could this be a translation issue? I asked for a cot once in Canada and they brought us up a single bed. I explained I meant a bed/crib for a baby and they happily swapped it for us. But they also wanted to charge for the 'cot'. But not for the cot they eventually brought up for us.

Could you ask them to clarify that it's a baby crib/travel cot.

It’s not unheard of but it’s the sign of a rip off. Puts me right off. If I had the option to stay elsewhere I would. The only time I couldn’t find an alternative was in a well known for being expensive American ski resort so I took my own. You could get a travel cot for ~£40 and airlines will usually carry it for free as it’s a baby item.
