Hotel Toin Kyoto Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Toin Kyoto is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it failed to meet our minimum requirements: it does not provide dogs with food and water bowls, and does not welcome dogs in its bar, lounge, restaurant or terrace. That caps the rank at F.
Hotel Toin Kyoto offers a genuinely useful range of provisions for travelling dog owners. Dogs can be left alone in the room, and there is a dog wash and shower area on site for cleaning up after outings, with grooming also available. The hotel provides dog food for sale, along with poop bags, and offers guidance on local walking routes, with green spaces and parks nearby. A dog-sitting service is available for owners who need to step out, and staff are trained for canine guests, supporting a number of dog friendly activities. Dogs stay free of charge, and the hotel keeps an emergency vet number on hand for peace of mind. Cats are also welcome, the pet policy is public, most rooms are dog friendly, and there is no damage deposit required.
That said, there are real restrictions to weigh up. A weight limit of 12 lbs applies, which rules out many dogs from staying at all. There is no garden or dedicated dog space, and dogs are not welcome in the bar, restaurant, lounge or on the terrace, limiting where owners can spend time with their pets around the property. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, real food or water bowls, or free treats, and there is no dog-walking service or dog toys on offer. These gaps, combined with the strict size limit, mean owners of larger dogs or those wanting fuller in-room comforts may find this hotel falls short of a truly comprehensive offering.
