No Weight LimitHotel Indigo Edinburgh Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Indigo Edinburgh holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog owners considering a stay. It welcomes dogs of any size or shape, with no weight or size limit, and allows them into all public spaces including the bar, the breakfast room, the terrace, the lounge and a garden. There are also a number of dog friendly green spaces within walking distance, including Calton Hill and Holyrood Park, both reachable within fifteen minutes and offering plenty of room to run along with good views for you to enjoy. Cats are welcome here too, should your household travel with more than one kind of pet.
On arrival your dog is given a bed, a water bowl and some treats, and small packets of dog food and treats can also be bought at reception if you run short. Up to two dogs are allowed per room, and the hotel charges £15 per night for your dog with no damage deposit taken, which is a fair arrangement for the openness given elsewhere in the hotel. Dogs are free to join you throughout the public areas of the hotel, from breakfast to the bar to the garden, making it easy to keep your dog close rather than left behind.
There are two real restrictions to plan around. Not all rooms are dog friendly, only some, so it is worth checking this at the time of booking. More significantly, dogs may not be left alone in the room unattended, due to past damage, which means your plans need to keep your dog with you or accompanied throughout the stay. This stay suits an owner who wants their dog beside them at all times and who values generous access to public spaces and nearby green areas over a dog-sitting or boarding option. Owners who need to leave their dog in the room while out for the day, or who want a guaranteed dog friendly room without checking first, should look elsewhere.
