Honest note: pet-friendliness here means travelers mention bringing pets to these properties. Hotels change policies, add fees and restrict room types without updating every listing site. A two-minute call before booking beats a refused check-in.
Before you book: pet policies change often and vary by property -- always confirm the current pet policy directly with the hotel before booking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Fee or deposit? Nightly pet fees, flat cleaning fees and refundable deposits are all common -- get the number in writing.
- Size or breed limits? Many properties cap weight at 25--35 kg or restrict certain breeds.
- How many pets? Two is the usual max; more than that needs a direct conversation.
- Can the dog stay alone in the room? Most hotels forbid leaving pets unattended -- plan your days around it.
- Designated relief area? Ask where; at 11pm in an unfamiliar town you will be glad you did.
Make the stay smooth
Bring the dog's bed or a familiar blanket, food and water bowls, and something that smells like home. Feed on the usual schedule, walk before you go out for the evening, and keep the do-not-disturb sign up when the dog is in the room so housekeeping does not get a surprise.
