  • Good afternoon Do you accept larger dogs, Ours is very well behaved and extremely well travelled throughout Europe and has stayed in many hotels and apartments. We feel that it isn't fair for larger dogs to be penalised because of their size if they are well behaved? Regards

    Here we don't charge any amount to keep one dog in the room, the onli thing that we whont is to avoid noise specialy during the night.
