Royal Hotel Sanremo

Royal Hotel Sanremo Dog Friendly Review

Royal Hotel Sanremo holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and for a dog owner weighing up a stay in Cosenza that rating translates into a genuinely welcoming atmosphere rather than a grudging tolerance. Your dog is invited into the bar, onto the terrace or patio, and into the lounge, so you are never confined to your room when you want a coffee or to watch the world go by with your dog beside you. There is a garden your dog may use, and with green spaces and parks nearby you have somewhere proper to stretch your dog's legs beyond the hotel grounds. Cats are also welcome, which speaks to a house that has genuinely thought about animals rather than merely permitting them. The hotel shares its pet policy with you before you book, so you know exactly what you are walking into rather than discovering surprises at check-in.

Day to day, the practicalities are handled with a light touch. Most rooms are dog friendly, so your choice of accommodation is not squeezed into a single pet-approved wing, and a proper dog bed along with real food and water bowls is provided in-room, sparing you from packing your dog's own kit. Dogs stay free of charge, and there is no damage deposit to worry about, which together make this a low-cost proposition for anyone travelling with a well-behaved dog. The dog fee itself is nil, so there is nothing to weigh against amenities because you are not paying for any in the first place. One rule to keep in mind is that only one dog is permitted per room, so this is not the place for owners travelling with a pair.

The two restrictions worth knowing before you book are that a weight or size limit of 26 lbs applies, which rules this out for owners of larger breeds, and that your dog may not be left alone in the room, meaning you will need to factor your dog into every outing rather than nipping out solo. There is no restaurant access for dogs, no dedicated dog space, and no dog-walking or dog-sitting service, so you will be handling all exercise and supervision yourself throughout the stay. Poop bags are not provided, nor is there an emergency vet number on hand, so a little of your own preparation goes a long way here. This stay suits an owner with a small, calm dog who is happy to keep their companion close at all times and who values a genuinely welcoming, low-cost base over polished extras. Owners of larger dogs, or those needing help with walking, sitting or emergencies, should look elsewhere.
