No Weight LimitHotel Indigo Edinburgh Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Indigo Edinburgh holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and for a dog owner visiting the city it strikes a genuinely welcoming tone from the outset. You will find dogs allowed in the bar, the restaurant, the lounge and out on the terrace, which means you are rarely forced to leave your companion behind while you eat or relax. There is also a garden your dog may use, and with green spaces and parks nearby you have plenty of options for a proper walk, with staff able to offer guidance on routes so you are not simply guessing where to go. With no weight or size limit imposed, this is a hotel that suits dogs of any build, from a small terrier to a large retriever, making it a flexible choice for owners who might otherwise struggle to find accommodation that accepts bigger breeds.
Day to day, the practicalities are handled with a reasonable amount of care. Your room will come with a dog bed and proper food and water bowls, so you need not haul your own kit halfway across Edinburgh, and if you run short there is dog food for sale on site along with free treats handed out, a nice touch that costs you nothing extra. There is no damage deposit to worry about, which removes one common source of stress when travelling with an animal, though you will pay £15 per night as a dog fee, a modest charge given the range of spaces your dog can join you in and the food and treats provided. You are permitted up to two dogs per room, which makes this a sensible option if you are travelling with a pair rather than a single companion, and the overall arrangement feels considered rather than an afterthought.
The restrictions are worth knowing before you book. Not every room here is dog friendly, so you will need to confirm your booking includes one of the rooms that accepts dogs rather than assuming it as standard. More importantly, your dog may not be left alone in the room, which means your plans for the day need to factor in bringing your dog along or arranging cover, since popping out without them is not an option here. There is no dedicated dog space, no wash or shower area, no dog-walking or sitting service, no poop bags provided and no grooming, so this suits an owner who is happy to be self-sufficient on the practical side of dog care. Given the flexibility on breed size, the shared spaces and the modest fee, this stay suits a sociable owner with a well-behaved dog who does not mind staying together throughout the visit, but it is less suited to anyone hoping to leave their dog unattended or wanting professional dog services on site.
