Hotel Palacky Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Palacky holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, yet it offers some genuine welcomes for dog owners willing to overlook its gaps. Dogs are welcome in the bar, the restaurant, the terrace and the lounge, so you need not leave your dog behind wherever you go within the hotel. There is no weight or size limit, which opens the stay to dogs of any breed, and nearby green spaces give you somewhere to walk together, including a small park for venturing out and the chance to walk together to the Jelenà skok viewpoint or the Diana lookout tower.
Day to day, the hotel keeps things simple rather than elaborate. You may leave your dog alone in the room, provided he settles and does not bark, which suits a dog used to his own company for short stretches. There is no damage deposit required, and the dog fee is 10 eur per night, a modest charge that reflects a straightforward stay rather than an elaborate package. Dogs are allowed onto the terrace and into the lounge as well as the bar and restaurant, giving you freedom to move around the hotel together rather than being confined to the bedroom.
The drawbacks lie mostly in what is missing rather than what is restricted. The hotel does not provide a garden for dogs to use, nor a dedicated dog space, a dog wash area, a dog bed, bowls, dog food, treats or toys. There is no dog-walking service, no arranged pet sitting, no poop bags supplied, no grooming arranged, and no emergency vet number kept on file, so you will need to come prepared with your own kit and plans. This stay suits an independent owner with a well behaved, self-sufficient dog who values being welcomed into communal spaces like the bar, restaurant, terrace and lounge, and who is happy to walk nearby parkland without hotel assistance. Owners wanting equipped, pampered dog stays with extras laid on should look elsewhere.

This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
