Your dog-friendly hotel and restaurant in Hanau
Yes, dogs are welcome here on request! At our dog-friendly hotel in Hanau, we charge a cleaning fee of €10 per day per dog. Please note that this fee does not include dog food, dog blankets or similar items. Your dog will probably prefer to use its own things.
We kindly ask you to note that dogs are not allowed to sleep on the hotel beds, even if they are used to doing so at home. Unfortunately, our experience has shown that dog hair cannot be completely removed from the bed linen. We want to ensure that subsequent guests with animal hair allergies are not affected. Therefore, in such cases, we unfortunately have to dispose of the bedding and charge you for it. We ask for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Your dog is of course welcome to accompany you to our restaurant area, so you can take them with you for breakfast or dinner. Please keep your dog on a leash at all times throughout the indoor and outdoor areas of our dog-friendly hotel.
Yes, we offer free high-speed WiFi throughout the entire building. You can also log in with multiple devices at the same time without restriction.
