Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast Dog Friendly Review
Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. This place is not exactly rolling out the red carpet for your four-legged friend. Dogs are restricted to rooms, so forget about bringing them to the bar, restaurant, or any public areas. You can leave your dog alone in the room, which is a small mercy, but the lack of a garden or dedicated dog space means you'll be hitting the pavement for walks. At least there are public green spaces nearby, but that's about the only outdoor perk.
The hotel charges €15 per dog per day, which isn't outrageous, but with no beds, bowls, or treats provided, you're not getting much bang for your buck. The absence of any dog friendly services like walking or sitting arrangements is a letdown, especially for those who might want a bit of flexibility during their stay. The staff isn't trained to handle dogs, so don't expect any special treatment or expertise.
There's no weight limit, which is a plus, but you're capped at two dogs per room. If you're traveling with a pack, this isn't the place for you. Overall, the lack of amenities and restrictions make this hotel a tough sell for dog owners. If you're looking for a truly dog friendly experience, you might want to keep searching.
