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.
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.
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.
