How pet-friendly hotels in Melbourne compare
Of everything we can book in Melbourne at the moment, roughly 9% is where pets are welcome — 27 properties out of 313. Half of what is bookable sits between € 89 and € 139 a night, with the midpoint at € 124. That is within a few percent of the Melbourne median of € 127, so this filter barely moves the price here. Among the best-reviewed the star ratings run from 4 to 5, so this is not one class of property. The highest-rated right now is Quest St Kilda Road at 9.4/10 from 2 016 reviews, around € 108 a night. The six best-reviewed in this group average 9.2 out of 10 between them.

What to look for in pet-friendly hotels in Melbourne
These properties accept pets. Almost none of them accept every pet under every condition: there is usually a weight limit, a maximum number of animals per room, and a supplement per night. Some allow dogs in the room but not in the restaurant or the pool area, which shapes your whole day. In practice almost everyone reading this is travelling with a dog, and that is the case these properties are set up for: dog-friendly rooms, a patch of grass within walking distance, and staff who are not surprised at check-in. Cats, birds and smaller animals are accepted far less often and almost never without asking first, so if that is you, write to the property before you book rather than after.
Before you book, check
- The supplement, and whether it is per night or per stay. The difference over a week is real money.
- Weight and size limits, and whether more than one animal is allowed.
- Whether your pet may be left alone in the room. Many properties forbid it outright, which rules out a day of sightseeing.
- Which areas are open to animals: breakfast room, terrace, lift, garden.
Cross-border travel has its own rules. Within the EU a pet passport with a valid rabies vaccination is standard; the UK, Norway and Ireland add a tapeworm treatment within a fixed window before arrival. That is a vet appointment you need to book before you book the hotel.
Worth it for: Trips where boarding the animal costs as much as the room, and long stays where leaving it behind is not reasonable.
