Top FAQs.
Absolutely — dogs are welcome at all Locke locations. There’s a one-off cleaning fee of £40 / €40 / CHF 40 per stay, and we’ll do everything we can to make sure both you and your four-legged companion feel at home.
Here’s what to know before you book:
• One dog per apartment, up to 30kg
• Dogs only – no cats or other pets (sorry!)
• All guests with dogs will need to sign our Pet Waiver on arrival
• Dog beds and bowls are available on request, but not guaranteed
Add a little WOOF to your booking:
Pick your dates and room, then select the ‘WOOF Package’ under ‘Enhance your stay’ before checking out.
Choosing your apartment:
All room types are dog friendly. But if you're travelling with a larger pup, we’d recommend a Locke Studio or one of our suites. Prefer to keep your sleeping space dog-free? Go for a suite, so you can close the bedroom door.
Don’t leave your dog alone in the room:
We recommend keeping your dog with you. If you need to step out for a bit, just let a House Host know, and we’ll sort things out.
Top tips for a happy stay:
Bring familiar toys, stick to their usual routine, and make time for walks and exercise. A comfortable dog means a calmer, more relaxed stay for everyone.
