Novotel Edinburgh Centre Dog Friendly Review
Novotel Edinburgh Centre is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it missed one of our minimum requirements: dogs are not provided with food and water bowls. That caps the rank at F.
Most rooms welcome dogs, with up to two dogs to a room, and dogs are welcome in the bar and the lounge, so you are not shut away at mealtimes. There is no weight limit. An emergency vet number is kept at the desk, and green spaces and parks are close by, with staff on hand to point you to the good walks.
The dog fee is £10 per day per dog. No dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags are provided, there is no garden or dedicated dog space on site, there is no dog walking or sitting service, dogs cannot be left alone in the room, and staff have not had formal training for canine guests. Pack a set of bowls and this is a comfortable stay for a dog, and certification needs only that gap closed.
