ibis Styles Albany

The lead. ibis Styles Albany is a central, no-frills hotel that offers pet-friendly rooms, which makes it a practical base if you want a standard hotel rather than a self-contained cottage. The catch is that pet rooms are limited and best locked in by phone.

The pet policy. Pet-friendly rooms are available, and guest reports suggest they sit in specific parts of the hotel. Some guests have found these rooms hard to book online, so contact the hotel directly to secure one. Weight limits and nightly pet fees are not published, so confirm both when you book rather than assuming.

The place. It is a conventional hotel with a range of room types including family rooms and rooms with a kitchenette. Reviews are mixed, with praise for comfy beds and renovated rooms alongside complaints about dated rooms, so it is worth asking for a renovated, pet-approved room specifically.

Location and nearby. The central position puts you close to Albany's town centre, waterfront and the dog-friendly cafes and pubs around Stirling Terrace and the marina.

Before you book. Call ahead to confirm a pet room, the fee, any size limit and where the dog can go on the property. Bring your own bedding and bowls, and ask which areas dogs may use.
