El Palace Barcelona Dog Friendly Review
El Palace Barcelona scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. This place is not the best choice for dog owners looking for a welcoming stay. Dogs are restricted to rooms and must be supervised at all times, which can be a real hassle if you want to explore the city without your four-legged friend. Forget about taking your dog to the bar, restaurant, or any public areas—it's a no-go.
The hotel charges a steep 75€ per night for your canine companion, which is quite high considering the limited amenities. There's no garden or dedicated dog space, so you'll need to venture out for walks. Thankfully, there are public green spaces nearby, but the lack of on-site options is a downside.
On the plus side, the hotel provides food and water bowls, and the staff is trained to handle dogs, which is a small comfort. However, with a weight limit of 22 pounds and only one dog allowed per room, larger breeds like Labradors are out of luck. If you're traveling with a bigger dog or more than one, this isn't the place for you.
In summary, El Palace Barcelona doesn't offer much for dog owners. The high fees and strict rules make it a less-than-ideal choice. Look elsewhere if you want a truly dog friendly experience.
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.
