If you go to a hotel, and they need to provide an extra bed in a room, what do they call those roll-under beds, the ones that just nicely fit under the main bed? Trundle beds, truckle beds, trumple bed or hurly-bed? Or something else?

Needed for a fast piece of fluff that's trying to come together.

It's been a long time since I worked in that hotel in Bournemouth...

I think we always just called them extra beds.

Or rather - a guest would ask for an extra bed or we would offer an extra bed in the room but the item itself would have been a folding bed (but we never really used the term, we would just ask the porter to put one of the extra beds into room XYZ and then ask housekeeping to make up the extra bed in room XYZ).

Of all the beds you listed I am only familiar with trundle beds but would associate that with either a built-in second bed in a child's room to facilitate the occasional sleepover or a low bed to be pulled out from underneath a regular bed in a self-catering unit rather than a hotel.

I've called them trundle beds.

I've heard them referred to as pullout beds
Hope this helps

Pull-out, fold-up or roll-up bed...

I've heard all of these used, before.
