Steam Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Steam Hotel holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame given some genuinely useful touches for dog owners. There is no weight or size limit, so dogs of any build are welcome as they are, and the hotel points guests to green spaces nearby, along the water, with a recommended walking route along Lake Mälaren right beside the hotel. Dogs are also welcomed warmly into the lobby and the Turbine Lounge, giving you somewhere to sit with your dog beyond the room itself.
In the room your dog can settle on a blanket offered as a dog bed, and water and food bowls are available to borrow during your stay. Your dog may be left alone in the room for a while if he is used to it. The hotel keeps an emergency vet number to hand, which is reassuring, and it shares its pet policy before you book so there are no surprises on arrival. There is no damage deposit required, and the dog fee is 300 SEK per night, a modest addition for what is offered. Beyond the lobby and Turbine Lounge, dogs may spend time only in your room, as the other restaurants, bars and the Voltage Lounge Pool Club are off limits.
The main restriction to plan around is that only a limited number of rooms are designated dog friendly, so you will need to confirm availability before booking rather than assuming any room will do. The hotel does not provide a dog wash area, dog food for sale, poop bags, dog toys, or a dog walking or sitting service, and dogs are not welcome in the restaurant, bar or on any terrace. There is no garden for dogs to use. This stay suits an owner with a calm, self-sufficient dog who is happy with lead walks along the lake and quiet time in the room or lounge, rather than one seeking on-site amenities or extra dog friendly spaces to roam.
