Travelling with Pets in Lviv: BANKHOTEL, a Pet-Friendly Hotel

24. 07. 2026

For many travellers, a pet is a full member of the family, and leaving them behind is simply not an option. Lviv is a great fit for a trip like this: a compact centre, plenty of greenery and more and more places that welcome dogs. BANKHOTEL is located in the very heart of the city and accepts guests with pets, so staying here with a dog — from check-in to walks nearby — creates no extra hassle. In practice, most guests find that travelling with a dog is no harder than travelling without one, and that the rules are simple and transparent.

Why choose BANKHOTEL for a holiday with your pet

We have noticed that what matters to guests is not the pet friendly hotel label itself, but whether their animal will genuinely be looked after. BANKHOTEL is a hotel for guests with pets, located on Lystopadovoho Chynu Street, just a few minutes' walk from Lviv's main sights. There are squares and green areas nearby, so the morning walk with your dog does not turn into a quest.

The benefits of staying at a pet-friendly hotel in Lviv

There is a common myth that you either will not be allowed into a hotel with an animal, or that the stay will be expensive and complicated. In reality, the opposite is true. The main advantage of a hotel you can travel to with your pet is that you do not have to leave your companion at home or ask neighbours and friends to look after them: your pet travels with you and stays by your side for the whole trip. You are together, the animal is calm, and walks through the city centre become part of the holiday. Our staff will be happy to recommend pet-friendly venues in Lviv nearby — cafés and restaurants you can visit together.

Which rooms are available for stays with pets

BANKHOTEL offers rooms in several categories, from Standard and Superior to suites. No more than two dogs are allowed in a single room, and the manager will confirm the available room category at the time of booking. The key point is that your pet should have enough space for its own bed and bowl.

Rules for staying with pets at BANKHOTEL

Our pet policy is simple and honest, with no hidden conditions:

  • no more than two animals in one room;
  • a surcharge of UAH 600 per animal per night, which covers the additional cleaning and preparation of the room.

Guide dogs and assistance dogs for guests with disabilities are a separate case. Under the law, such dogs accompany their owner in public places and are not treated as ordinary pets, so the terms of their stay are agreed individually, without the usual restrictions. If you are travelling with a guide dog, please let us know when booking and our team will explain the check-in details.

How to prepare your pet for check-in

Getting your pet ready for the stay is straightforward. Give your dog a good walk before setting off, and plan feeding times so that the animal is comfortable during the journey. Bring familiar items — food, a lead and a favourite toy: familiar smells help pets settle in faster. This is a basic condition for a comfortable stay and the best way to make sure the first night passes without stress.

What to keep in mind on a holiday with your dog in Lviv

Walking routes in the centre of Lviv often run along cobbled streets, so take care of your pet's comfort and carry water with you, especially in summer. In fact, central Lviv is very friendly towards animals: there are plenty of squares, and many cafés are happy to welcome guests with their furry companions.

BANKHOTEL has a shelter in the basement: during an air raid alert, go down there together with your pet rather than leaving it alone in the room. And please be considerate of other guests — if your dog barks when left on its own, it is better not to be away for long.

FAQ
Do I need to inform the hotel about my pet in advance?

Yes, this is essential. Let us know that you are planning to arrive with a pet at the booking stage. The receptionist will confirm the conditions and the amount of the surcharge and prepare everything for your arrival, so that check-in goes without any surprises.

Is there an additional charge for staying at the hotel with a pet?

Yes. At BANKHOTEL the surcharge is UAH 600 per animal per night. No more than two dogs are allowed in a single room. This charge covers the additional cleaning and preparation of the room after check-out. The exact amount and all the conditions will be confirmed by the receptionist during booking, so there will be no hidden fees when you settle the bill.

What should I bring for a comfortable stay with my pet?

Bring a few of your furry friend’s favourite toys. In practice, it is familiar objects that help a pet adapt to a new place faster — and help the owner feel more relaxed too. Do not forget waste bags for walks around the city either.

Can I leave my pet alone in the hotel room?

It is better not to leave a dog alone for long: an unfamiliar place can easily cause anxiety, and barking may disturb other guests. If you need to go out, take your pet with you or arrange care in advance with a pet sitter or a professional dog walker. That way your animal stays calm and other guests’ stay is not disturbed.

How do I book a room for a stay with a pet?

Booking a hotel with a dog is easy: call us, message us on a messenger app or leave a request on the BANKHOTEL website, and be sure to mention that you are arriving with an animal. We will select a suitable room and confirm the accommodation rules and the surcharge. Booking early increases the chance that the room you need will be available on your chosen dates.
