Royal Hotel Carlton

Big central four-star that takes dogs to 25 kg and lets them stay in

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A large, modern four-star with a spa, a short walk from the station and the northern end of the old town. Rooms are spacious by Bologna standards and there's a garage, which helps if you're driving in with a dog. It suits a practical city stay with a medium-sized dog. It's one of the few hotels here that says in writing your dog can be left in the room.

Dogs stay in the room and move through the hotel on a lead. They aren't in the restaurant, breakfast room, bar or spa. The hotel allows a dog to be left alone in the room.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
