voco St. David's Cardiff, an IHG Hotel

voco St. David's Cardiff scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. While the hotel claims to be dog-friendly, the reality is a mixed bag. Most rooms welcome dogs, but the hefty £30 per day fee is steep, especially considering the limited amenities. No dog beds or food bowls are provided, so pack your own essentials. Dogs are allowed on the terrace but not in the restaurant, and they can't be left alone in rooms, which can be a real hassle for owners wanting to explore without their four-legged friend. The hotel imposes a strict 66-pound weight limit, excluding popular breeds like Labradors. Only one dog per room is allowed, which isn't ideal for those with multiple canine companions. On the plus side, there are nearby parks for walks, but the lack of an on-site garden or dedicated dog space is a letdown. The staff's attitude towards dogs is more about tolerance than genuine welcome, with strict rules about leashes and noise control. In summary, voco St. David's Cardiff offers a basic level of dog-friendliness but falls short in several key areas. The high fees and restrictions make it less appealing for dog owners seeking a truly welcoming experience.
