Ercilla Embarcadero Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Ercilla Embarcadero Hotel holds a failing F Roch Rank, yet there is more to the picture for anyone travelling with a dog than that low grade suggests. The hotel shares its pet policy with you before booking, so you know exactly what you are getting into before you arrive, and there is no weight or size limit to worry about, meaning a large breed is just as welcome as a small one. Your dog can join you out on the terrace or patio, and there is a garden for your dog to use too, which gives a stay here a more open, outdoorsy feel than many city hotels manage. For a place with such a poor overall rating, these headline allowances are a genuinely pleasant surprise and worth weighing carefully against its other shortcomings.
Day to day, the practicalities are straightforward rather than lavish. You will pay 25 euros per night for your dog to stay, and there is no damage deposit on top of that, which at least keeps the arrangement simple even if the fee itself buys little beyond the right to have your dog in the room. Reassuringly, your dog may be left alone in the room if you need to step out, so you are not tied to its side every moment of your stay. There is no dog bed provided, no bowls, no food for sale and no free treats, so you will need to bring your dog's own kit with you, as the hotel offers no small comforts of that kind once you have checked in.
The most significant restriction is that only some rooms are dog friendly, not all, so you must confirm at booking that you are assigned one of these rather than assuming any room will do. There is no dedicated dog space, no wash or shower area, and your dog is not welcome in the bar, restaurant or lounge, which limits where you can bring it once indoors beyond your room, the terrace and the garden. There is no dog-walking or dog-sitting service, no poop bags, no grooming, no toys and no staff trained for canine guests, so this is very much a self-sufficient stay rather than one with hands-on support. This hotel suits an independent owner with a well-behaved dog who is happy to bring their own supplies and stick to the terrace and garden, but anyone wanting indoor social spaces, extra services or a polished overall standard should look elsewhere.

This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
