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.

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.

What to ask the front desk

Pet fee -- nightly or flat? Both exist, and the number varies wildly; confirm in writing before you book.
Any size or breed rules? Weight caps around 25--35 kg are common, and some breeds are excluded outright.
Pet limit per room? Usually two; beyond that you need a direct yes from the property.
Unattended in the room? Usually not allowed -- sort your sightseeing around the dog, or ask about local sitters.
Where is the relief spot? You want to know this before the 11pm walk, not during it.
