Novotel Suites Manila at Acqua Dog Friendly Review
Novotel Suites Manila at Acqua holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendly stays, and it has real strengths worth noting. Dogs are welcome in the Gourmet Bar Restaurant, the Lobby Lounge and the pool area, provided they are in a diaper and on a leash, or carried in a bag or stroller. There is a dedicated Pet Qube on the 8th floor where your dog can enjoy off-leash play, and the hotel allows cats to stay too. There is no weight or size restriction, so long as the dog is well behaved and well trained, which opens the stay to larger breeds that many hotels turn away.
Day to day, the room comes with a pet bed set up as part of the stay, and up to two dogs are permitted per room, in any room type you book. Staff can point you to a riverside pathwalk just outside the main entrance along the Pasig River promenade for walks, and there is a pet grooming facility nearby within Acqua Private Residences. The hotel also keeps emergency vet contact details on hand and can assist in reaching them if needed.
The clearest restriction is that your dog cannot be left alone in the room at any time, so this stay suits owners who plan to keep their dog with them throughout the day rather than leaving him behind while they are out. There is no garden or terrace for dogs, no dog wash area, and the hotel does not provide bowls, dog food, treats, toys or poop bags, so you will need to bring these essentials yourself. This hotel suits an owner with a well trained dog of any size who wants a sociable stay with access to shared spaces and a dedicated play area, but owners who need to leave their dog unattended for long stretches, or who want a private garden, should look elsewhere.
