Which hotels in Norway allow dogs?
Fees, booking and house rules at three hotel chains, and what a dog needs to enter Norway.
Short answer
The Scandic, Thon and Strawberry hotel chains take dogs in special rooms at many of their hotels in Norway, for NOK 200–400 per stay. Scandic charges NOK 200 at most Norwegian hotels, Strawberry generally NOK 300 and Thon NOK 400. Tell the hotel when you book, and note that Strawberry pet rooms cannot be booked online.
Why
- Scandic charges NOK 200 per stay for a pet room at its hotels in Norway, or NOK 400 at Grand Hotel Oslo, The Dock 69°39 and Hotel Norge, and you can book the room on its website or app.
- Thon Hotels accepts only dogs and cats, for NOK 400 per stay, with no more than two animals per room and a stay of up to six nights.
- Strawberry's Comfort, Quality and Clarion hotels generally charge NOK 300 per stay for a dog, and you check availability by contacting the hotel.
Details
At Scandic, pets may not be left alone on hotel property except in the room, and they are not allowed in the bar, restaurant or spa. Thon says practice varies between its hotels out of concern for allergies, and you book online by choosing "Kjæledyr" (pets). Guide dogs stay free at all three chains. Dogs from the EU or EEA need a microchip or tattoo, an EU pet passport, a rabies vaccination and tapeworm treatment 24–120 hours before arrival, and you go through the red zone at customs.
Tip
Book the pet room together with the stay: Scandic and Thon let you choose it online, while Strawberry asks you to contact the hotel first.
What may differ
Dogs arriving directly from Finland, Malta or Ireland do not need tapeworm treatment, and animals moved only between Norway and Sweden need no rabies vaccination and may use the green zone.
