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.

Settle the dog in fast

Pack their bed or a worn blanket, bowls, and a chew that smells like home. Keep feeding times normal, do a good walk before dinner, and leave the do-not-disturb sign out whenever the dog is alone in the room -- a surprised housekeeper and a loose dog is nobody's good story.
