The Savoy Dog Friendly Review
The Savoy holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which sits oddly against some genuinely thoughtful touches for travelling with a dog. This is a grand London address, and while its dog policy does not stretch as far as its reputation might suggest, there is enough here to make a short stay workable for the right guest. Dogs are welcome on the terrace or patio, giving you somewhere outdoors to sit with your dog beyond the four walls of the room, and there are green spaces and parks nearby for proper walks once you step outside the hotel itself. Staff will offer guidance on walking routes, which is a small but useful courtesy if you do not know the area. Cats are also welcome to stay, and most rooms are open to dogs, so the choice of where to sleep is not unduly narrowed.
Inside the room, your dog is given a proper bed of its own rather than making do with a blanket on the floor, along with real food and water bowls rather than makeshift alternatives, and free treats are provided as a nice extra touch. If you need to step out without your dog, a dog-sitting service is available, which is a genuine convenience for a hotel of this standing. There is a charge of £25.00 per day for bringing your dog, and against the bed, bowls, treats and sitting service on offer, that fee buys a reasonable amount, even if it adds up over a longer stay. Reassuringly, there is no damage deposit required, so you are not left putting down extra money against the possibility of chewed furniture or accidents, which removes one layer of financial worry from the visit.
The two most important restrictions to know before booking are the weight limit of 25 lbs, which rules out larger breeds entirely, and the rule that dogs may not be left alone in the room, meaning any solo outings must rely on the dog-sitting service rather than leaving your dog to settle by itself. There is no garden for dogs to use, no dedicated dog space, and no dog wash or shower area, so muddy paws after a park walk will need managing yourself. Poop bags, dog food, grooming and toys are not supplied, and there is no dog-walking service, so you will need to bring your own kit and handle exercise personally. This stay suits an owner with a small, well-behaved dog under 25 lbs who does not mind covering the basics themselves and is happy to use the sitting service rather than leave their dog alone; owners of larger dogs, or those wanting a fuller range of in-house dog care, should look elsewhere.
