San Sebastián, Spain · 5 Star Hotel
Hotel Catalonia Donosti Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Catalonia Donosti holds a respectable B Roch Rank for dog owners travelling to San Sebastián. Dogs are welcome on the terrace when it is open, provided they are kept on a lead, and there is a lounge area outside the bar with armchairs and small tables where your dog may settle with you. The hotel also has a small garden with grass just outside, and it sits close to San Sebastián's green spaces, with some only five minutes' walk away, including the recommended stroll along the promenade of La Concha beach.
All rooms at the hotel are dog friendly, and the hotel can provide a dog bed subject to availability, along with a pet kit including a cushion and two bowls for food and water with a small mat. You are welcome to leave your dog alone in the room, though the hotel asks that you avoid long periods apart if your dog is not used to being alone. The dog fee is 25 euros per night, and there is no damage deposit. The hotel shares a copy of its pet policy before you book, and it also accepts cats.
There is a weight limit of 44 lbs to bear in mind, and dogs are not allowed in the bar or the restaurant, so mealtimes mean leaving your dog elsewhere or taking turns. The hotel does not offer a dog wash area, a dog-walking service, grooming arrangements, poop bags, or treats, so you will need to come prepared for the practical side of the stay yourself. This stay suits an owner with a smaller, well mannered dog who is comfortable spending some time alone in the room and who will make use of the nearby green spaces and beach promenade for exercise. Owners with larger dogs, or those wanting an on-site dog-walking or grooming service, should look elsewhere.
