Germany's hotel sector doesn't operate under one nationwide pet policy. Whether a given hotel accepts dogs, what it charges, and whether there's a size, weight or number limit is set by the individual chain or property, though many German and international mid-range and larger chains accept dogs as standard practice, often for a flat per-night or per-stay fee.

As elsewhere in Europe, a hotel's pet policy is usually stated on its own booking page or listing rather than being standardised across the industry, so checking directly — which rooms or floors allow pets, any weight limit, and whether the fee is per night or a flat per-stay charge — is the reliable approach rather than assuming.

A hotel that admits pets will generally still keep them out of breakfast rooms, restaurants, and spa or wellness areas, which is standard practice across most of Europe and worth factoring in if those amenities matter to the stay.
