room2 Southampton Hometel Dog Friendly Review
room2 Southampton Hometel is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it missed one of our minimum requirements: it does not provide dogs with food and water bowls. That caps the rank at F.
room2 Southampton Hometel welcomes dogs into both the bar and the lounge, so owners are not confined to their rooms when socialising or relaxing. Dogs may also be left alone in the room, which offers useful flexibility, and most rooms at the property are dog friendly with no weight or size limit imposed, meaning larger breeds are accommodated too. The hotel is close to green spaces and parks, and staff can offer guidance on local walking routes. Cats are also welcome to stay, indicating a broadly relaxed approach to animal guests generally.
Set against this, a refundable damage deposit of £50 is charged, which adds an upfront cost for dog owners to factor in. There is no garden or dedicated dog space on site, and no dog wash or shower area to deal with muddy paws after a walk. The hotel does not provide practical extras such as a dog bed, food or water bowls, or poop bags, and there is no dog walking or dog sitting service available to guests. Dogs are also not mentioned as welcome in the restaurant or on any terrace or patio, limiting where owners can dine with their pet on site.
