Dog WalkingHotel Gotham Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Gotham holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This place is a decent choice for dog owners, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Most rooms welcome your four-legged friends, which is a relief, but the weight limit of 50 pounds is a bit restrictive. If you have a Labrador or similar-sized breed, you might want to look elsewhere. Dogs are allowed in the bar, lounge and on the terrace, but not in the restaurant, so plan your meals accordingly. The ability to leave your dog alone in the room is a major convenience, especially for city explorers.
The hotel charges a 35 GBP fee per stay, which isn't too steep, but don't expect a lot of extras for your pup. They do provide a dog bed and food and water bowls. Free treats are a nice touch, though. There's no dedicated dog space, but dogs can use the garden, which matters in a city center where green spaces are scarce. The rooftop access is a unique perk too, offering a bit of fresh air for your canine companion.
Dog walking can be arranged, though there's no dog-sitting service, and they provide guidance on local walk routes, which is helpful. The staff seems genuinely pleased to welcome dogs, adding a friendly vibe to your stay. Overall, Hotel Gotham is a solid option if you're traveling with a smaller dog and don't mind the city hustle.
