Bring your dog if

Worth knowing
- Paw rating is based on 3 reviews - limited sample, treat as directional
- Pet fee: £35 per pet (max 2 pets, up to 10 kg) - research-verified; confirm at booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 3 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 185 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.2/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol North is a practical, comfortable choice for owners with a small dog who need an easy stop near Bristol - it sits just off the M4/M5 interchange at Almondsbury, which makes it handy whether you are breaking a longer journey or visiting the city.
This is a chain hotel that genuinely accommodates dogs rather than just permitting them. Up to two dogs (each up to 10 kg) can stay in the hotel's limited pet-friendly rooms for £35 per dog per stay; cats are not accepted. Because the pet rooms are limited, it is worth booking directly with the hotel to secure one.
What stands out in guests' accounts is the staff: dog owners repeatedly mention a warm, considerate welcome, including going out of their way to settle an older, anxious dog. The hotel has comfortable rooms and the usual facilities, including a pool, and there is open green space around the site for a quick walk.
A few things to weigh up: the 10 kg weight limit rules it out for medium and large dogs, the per-stay fee adds to the cost, and as a busy hotel that also hosts weddings it can occasionally be noisy. For owners of a small dog after a reliable, well-located Bristol base with genuinely dog-aware staff, DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol North earns a solid 4.6/5 paw rating.
