Hotel Riviera Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Riviera in Moss holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, though the room itself is better set up for your dog than that grade might suggest. There is no weight or size limit, so a large dog is as welcome as a small one, and up to three dogs can share a room. A dog bed and real food and water bowls are provided while stock lasts, as long as you order them in advance, and there is no damage deposit to settle at check-in. If your dog falls ill during the stay, the team will give you the contact details of an emergency vet in Moss.
Guests with dogs stay in the hotel's own dog friendly rooms, so only some rooms are open to you and it is worth mentioning your dog when you book. Your dog may be left alone in the room for a while, as long as he does not bark or disturb other guests. The dog fee is 400 Norwegian kroner, which is fair for what the stay offers inside the room but buys little freedom beyond it. For walks, the staff will suggest good walking routes, and there are green spaces and parks close by.
The real drawback is the shared spaces. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, the bar, the lounge or on the terrace, and there is no garden, so meals and evening drinks are taken without your dog. There is no dog food for sale, no treats and no poop bags, and no dog walking, sitting or grooming service, so pack everything your dog needs. Hotel Riviera suits an owner of a calm, quiet dog of any size who wants a bed and bowls ready in the room and is happy to spend the rest of the day out walking. If you want your dog beside you at dinner or over a drink, look elsewhere.
