🐾 Pets Allowed in guest rooms

Hotel Midtown Inn sits right in the heart of Trimbak town — opposite the HDFC Bank on the main road — and is one of the few hotels in this pilgrimage town that explicitly allows pets inside guest rooms. If you are driving up from Nashik or continuing toward Igatpuri with your dog, this is a straightforward, no-fuss stopover where your pet is welcome to stay with you in the room, not relegated to a car or parking lot. The hotel is a short walk from the Trimbakeshwar Temple, which draws a high volume of foot traffic year-round, so manage expectations on the surrounding street environment before you arrive.

✓ Verified by the Pet Friendly Places team

Pets are allowed inside guest rooms at Hotel Midtown Inn. The hotel's confirmed policy states that pets must not be left unattended in the room at any time, and guests are responsible for any damage caused by their pets. Pet charges have not been confirmed — call ahead on 097620 01710 to check current rates and room availability before booking.

The Setting and Location

Trimbak is a small, densely built pilgrimage town in the Nashik district of Maharashtra, best known for the 18th-century Trimbakeshwar Temple — one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines in India. Hotel Midtown Inn sits on NH160A, the main artery through town, placing it in a genuinely walkable position relative to the temple and the town's primary market strip. The address — opposite HDFC Bank, Trimbak — is easy to navigate to, and the hotel is visible from the main road, which helps if you are arriving after dark with a dog in tow.

For context on distances: Nashik city is approximately 28–30 km away, making this a realistic overnight stop on a Nashik–Igatpuri road trip or a base for anyone visiting the Trimbakeshwar shrine and wanting to explore the wider region over two days. Anjaneri Fort, a moderately popular day trek, is around 9 km from the hotel. The fort trail is known for its association with the birthplace of Hanuman in local tradition and sees a steady stream of hikers on weekends. Nashik Flower Park is roughly 15 km away. Neither of these day-trip options is a confirmed dog-friendly destination in our database yet — verify access before driving out with your dog.

For pet parents, the immediate environment around the hotel is urban and busy. Trimbak town itself is compact, with narrow lanes, active temple foot traffic, and vendors lining the main road on most days. This is not an open-field, quiet-countryside destination. Your dog will need to be comfortable navigating a busy pilgrimage town — confident on a leash, not reactive to crowds or temple bells, and accustomed to unpredictable street energy. The upside: the hotel's highway-fronting location means reaching it by car is simple, free parking is available on-site, and you are not winding through mountain roads at night.

Rooms and Facilities

The hotel offers standard rooms and upgraded family rooms. Standard rooms include en suite wet rooms with bucket baths, Wi-Fi, and smart TVs. Family rooms add minifridges, tea and coffee-making facilities, and in-room safes — a meaningful upgrade if you are staying two nights and want to store pet food, medication, or snacks without relying on room service every time. All rooms are air-conditioned. There is no swimming pool on the property, and based on available information, there is no open lawn or garden area where you could let your dog decompress off-leash after a drive.

Free parking is confirmed, which is a practical plus for road trips — you are likely carrying a crate, a food bag, water bowls, and a pet bed, and having secure, on-site parking matters more than it sounds after a long drive. The hotel offers laundry service and room service. Breakfast is not included in the room rate. Google reviewers consistently single out the responsiveness of the front desk and caretaker as a standout, with several reviews mentioning by-name praise for staff who handled requests promptly. Some reviews do flag inconsistency in room cleanliness and upkeep — it is worth requesting a recently serviced room at check-in and doing a quick walkthrough before settling your dog in.

The hotel does not advertise any dedicated pet amenities kit — no pet bed, no in-room food bowl, no welcome treat. Pack everything your dog needs: water bowl, feeding mat, waste bags, poop bags for the corridor, and your own cleaning supplies in case of any accidents. If your dog uses a crate, confirm with the hotel at the time of booking whether there is adequate floor space in the room type you are reserving.

Pet Policy — What You Need to Know

Hotel Midtown Inn permits pets inside guest rooms — that is a confirmed, specific policy, not a vague "pet-friendly" tag applied loosely to the property. Pets in rooms in a town like Trimbak, where most hotels cater to pilgrimage visitors and generally do not accommodate animals, is a genuinely meaningful distinction. The key condition is that pets must not be left alone in the room at any time. This is a fairly standard clause in Indian hotels that allow pets, but it has real implications for your itinerary: if you want to visit the Trimbakeshwar Temple (which does not permit dogs inside the temple complex, as is standard for Hindu shrines), you will need to leave your dog in the car with adequate ventilation, take turns, or make other arrangements. Do not leave your dog unattended in the hotel room to visit the temple — you would be in violation of the hotel's stated policy.

Guests are liable for any damage caused by their pets, so bring your own pet bedding and a waterproof feeding mat if you want to avoid ambiguity at checkout. If your dog is prone to chewing furniture or scratching doors when anxious in a new space, factor that into your preparation. A familiar blanket or crate can make a significant difference in how your dog settles into an unfamiliar room.

Pet charges — if any — have not been confirmed in our verification. Some hotels in Maharashtra charge a flat per-night pet fee ranging from ₹200 to ₹500; others waive it entirely. Call the hotel directly at 097620 01710 before booking to clarify the current pet fee, if applicable, and to confirm room type and availability. Also worth asking on that call: whether large breed dogs are accepted, and whether there is a limit on the number of pets per room — neither has been confirmed in our current data.

ℹ️ Packing checklist for this stay

Hotel Midtown Inn does not provide pet amenities. Pack your dog's water bowl, collapsible feeding bowl, waste bags, a familiar sleeping mat or blanket, and any regular medication. There is no open lawn on the property, so factor in street walks for exercise — a leash and collar ID tag are non-negotiable in a busy town like Trimbak. The nearest veterinary services are in Nashik, approximately 28–30 km away — carry your pet's vaccination records and any prescription medication for the duration of your stay.

Planning Your Visit — Getting Here and Best Time to Go

Trimbak is accessible via NH160A from Nashik (approximately 28–30 km, around 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic). From Mumbai, the drive is approximately 160–170 km via NH3 and then NH160A, typically 3 to 3.5 hours without stops. From Pune, allow 4 to 4.5 hours via NH60. The route from Nashik is straightforward and well-paved, making it a comfortable drive with a dog. There are fuel stations and basic dhabas on the Nashik–Trimbak stretch if you need a break.

The most comfortable travel window for dogs in this part of Maharashtra is October through February, when temperatures are moderate and the hill air around Trimbak stays pleasant. Monsoon season (June through September) brings significant rainfall to the Nashik district — roads near Anjaneri Fort can get slippery and the town itself becomes very crowded with pilgrims during Shravan month (July–August). Summer months (March through May) can get warm and humid in Trimbak, which is harder on dogs, particularly in an urban setting with limited shade and no on-site lawn. If you are road-tripping through Maharashtra with a dog, October through early March is the sweet spot for this route.

Check-in is at 12:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Factor this into your driving schedule — if you are arriving from Mumbai or Pune, a morning departure puts you in Trimbak around lunch or early afternoon, which works well with the check-in window. If you are coming from Nashik, you have more flexibility.

What We Haven't Confirmed Yet

A few details remain unverified for this listing and are worth a direct call to the hotel before you finalise your booking. First: the pet charge, if any — ask for the current figure and get it confirmed in writing or via WhatsApp if possible. Second: whether large breed dogs (above 25 kg) are explicitly welcome — the policy confirms pets in rooms but does not specify size limits. Third: whether there is a cap on the number of pets per room, which matters if you are travelling with two dogs. Fourth: whether the hotel has a preferred contact for pet-related queries at the front desk, or whether a general booking call is sufficient. The hotel's main contact number is 097620 01710. Reaching out a day or two before arrival rather than on the day itself gives you time to adjust plans if needed.
