Van der Valk Hotel Arnhem Dog Friendly Review
Van der Valk Hotel Arnhem holds a disappointing D Roch Rank. On the plus side, dogs are welcome throughout the hotel, including the bar, restaurant, terrace and lounge, provided they stay on the lead, and the hotel sits by woodland with walking routes available at reception.
Up to two dogs can stay per room, with no weight or size limit, for a fee of € 15,- per night. You may leave your dog alone in the room as long as he does not disturb neighbouring guests, and once out, the forest setting and suggested walking routes from reception give you somewhere proper to head with him.
Dogs are only permitted in the comfort rooms, including the comfort 3 and 4 person options, so not every room type is available to you. The hotel does not provide a garden, a dog bed, bowls, poop bags or any grooming or walking services. This suits an owner with a well behaved, lead trained dog who wants sociable spaces and nearby woodland walks, but anyone expecting extra dog amenities or a flexible room choice should look elsewhere.
Roch Score: 17/77. 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.
