Der Ederer Dog Friendly Review
Der Ederer holds a failing F Roch Rank, which is a disappointing headline for a hotel that otherwise gets some genuinely useful basics right for anyone travelling with a dog. Most rooms here are dog friendly, so you are not confined to a single set-aside wing or forced into a scramble for one of a handful of rooms, and there is no weight or size limit to worry about, meaning a boisterous large breed is just as welcome as a small companion. That flexibility gives the place a relaxed, unfussy character that will appeal to owners tired of hotels that only tolerate small dogs or charge extra for larger ones.
Day to day, the practicalities are kept simple rather than plush. There is no damage deposit demanded at check-in, which removes one of the more irritating bits of admin that often accompanies travelling with a dog and saves you the worry of a chunk of money being held against your card. You are also permitted to leave your dog alone in the room, which matters a great deal if your stay involves meals out, meetings or errands where bringing your dog along is not practical. Beyond these points, the stay is straightforward rather than pampering, with nothing in the way of extra in-room kit or added services to speak of.
Where Der Ederer falls down is in the wider dog friendly experience beyond the bedroom door. There is no bar, restaurant, terrace or lounge access for dogs, so mealtimes and evenings will mean leaving your dog behind rather than including them in the social parts of the stay. There is no garden or dedicated dog space on site, no green spaces or parks noted nearby, and none of the small comforts some hotels offer, such as a dog bed, bowls, treats, poop bags or guidance on walking routes; there is also no dog walking or sitting service, no grooming, and no staff trained for canine guests. This is a hotel suited to an owner who wants simple, unrestricted access to a room with their dog and does not expect any extras, rather than one looking for a fully dog centred stay with communal spaces and added services, who would do better to look elsewhere.
