San Desiderio Dog Friendly Review

San Desiderio holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This spot is a decent choice for dog owners, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Dogs are welcome in most public areas, including the bar, restaurant, terrace, and lounge, which is a nice touch. However, they can't be left alone in the room, which can be a hassle if you plan to explore without your furry friend.

The hotel provides water bowls, but you'll need to bring your own dog bed. On the plus side, there's a garden for your dog to enjoy, and nearby parks make for convenient walks. Unfortunately, there are no dog-walking or sitting services, so plan your outings accordingly.

The good news is that dogs stay for free, which is a big deal and rare to find. However, the lack of a weight limit is a double-edged sword; while it means no breed restrictions, it also means the hotel might not be as prepared for larger dogs.

Overall, San Desiderio offers a decent stay for you and your canine companion, but be prepared to handle some logistics on your own.
