The Bristol Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Bristol Hotel holds a failing F Roch Rank. A number of rooms take dogs, yours is welcome on the terrace, and dogs can be left alone in the room, which makes an evening out straightforward. The hotel runs dog friendly activities and green spaces and parks are close by, with staff on hand to point you to the good walks.
The dog fee is £20 per night, and a weight limit of 33 lb applies, so check ahead with a larger dog. There is no dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags, no garden or dedicated dog space, no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not been trained for canine guests.
This is a hotel that accepts dogs rather than one built around them. It suits an owner who wants the terrace, dog friendly activities and the freedom to leave a settled dog, and who packs their own bowls.
Roch Score: 9/77. This hotel does not meet the Roch Dog Friendly Standard. This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
