A British mother has been left furious after shelling out thousands for a room at a luxury Turkish hotel that reportedly only provided a sofa-bed for her child to sleep on.
Harley, who goes by @harleyjxo on TikTok, travelled with her partner and their two children to Antalya, Turkey, in July, where they’d booked a stay at Hotel Turan Prince.
The all-inclusive resort, also known as Club Turan Prince World, boasts five-star accommodation, a family-friendly atmosphere, multiple restaurants and a wide range of activities and entertainment.
In a clip on TikTok, the mother explains: ‘Imagine paying £4000 for a holiday for a family of four, for them to expect an 11-year-old child to sleep on a CHAIR.’
She demonstrated how the small, square-shaped brown chair transforms into a bed by pulling out a padded seat from its base and extending it to form a longer sofa.
Urging holidaymakers to steer clear of the hotel, the content creator adds in a follow-up comment: ‘Is that a joke? And to be told there’s nothing that they can do about it!! a CHAIR!!! wtf!!
‘There’s so much wrong with this hotel and I’ve not even been here 24 hours yet! Mad DO NOT BOOK. Was another family in reception who’s child was CRYING cos there poor back from sleeping last night.’
The clip, which has since been viewed over 800K times, has prompted 400 viewers to share their opinion – though not everyone sided with the mother.

One person wrote, ‘That’s a perfect bed for a child,’ while another quizzed, ‘So why didn’t you get a room with actual bed for your child.’
A third said: ‘Imagine spending 4 grand on a room and not checking the photos to see what the beds look like first.’
A fourth added, ‘Im sorry is this not a normal place for a kid to sleep in?’ while a fifth commented, ‘It’s looking cheap but as a KID this would have been super exciting.’
However, other viewers came to the mother’s defense, as one wrote: ‘This is what puts me off Turkey! Would love to go but the accommodation for families is shocking!!’
Another wrote: ‘Had this a few times recently and we’re paying £7/8k for a week. It’s disgusting tbh. Why can’t they have a bed!’
A third said: ‘The reviews on trip advisor say it all…. Do NOT eat the food!!’ to which the mother responded: ‘The food is awful too!’
The Daily Mail has reached out to Hotel Turan Prince for further comment.
It comes after a family’s dream holiday was ruined after they were left stranded due to a booking blunder.

Darren Tanser shared his nightmare experience on TikTok, @darrentanser, after he paid £6,000 for trip to Turkey.
He raged: ‘LoveHolidays are an absolute joke, I recommend none of you ever book with them at all.
‘I spent 425 minutes throughout yesterday, which is seven hours, on the phone to LoveHolidays on and off, they never called me back once for any issue, I had to continuously call them.’
The family had arrived at the hotel at 5am, only to be told their booking ‘hadn’t been secured’.
