Dog FoodDoubleTree London Elstree Dog Friendly Review
DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. If you're planning a stay with your furry friend, brace yourself for some limitations. Dogs are only allowed in the Queen Standard rooms, which means availability is tight. Make sure to call ahead to secure a spot. While dogs can roam the lounge and garden areas, they're not welcome in the bar, restaurant, or other public spaces, which can be a hassle if you want to enjoy the hotel's amenities without leaving your dog behind.
On the plus side, the hotel provides dog beds, bowls, and treats, which is a nice touch. However, the $35 per night fee per dog feels steep, especially when you consider the limited access and amenities. The weight limit of 99 pounds is reasonable, but with a two-dog maximum per room, families with multiple dogs might find it restrictive.
The garden is a definite perk, offering a convenient spot for quick walks. However, the lack of nearby parks means you'll need to plan outings for more extensive exercise. The absence of dog-sitting or walking services is a missed opportunity for added convenience. While the hotel does provide water stations throughout the property, the overall experience feels more like tolerance than a warm welcome.
In summary, while DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree offers some basic amenities for dogs, the restrictions and fees make it less appealing for dog owners seeking a truly welcoming experience. Consider other options if you're looking for a more inclusive stay.
This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
