Hotel Pohor Regency

Hotel Pohor Regency sits at the foot of Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, right near the Kamakhya Gate Foot Bridge — a location that puts you within ten minutes of one of India's most significant temples while keeping you connected to the city. For pet parents travelling through Assam or using Guwahati as a base for Northeast India exploration, this is a straightforward, honest hotel that officially accepts pets in guest rooms with a clearly stated policy and no ambiguity about where your dog is and isn't welcome.

The Location — Why It Works for Pet Travellers

Guwahati is the gateway city for Northeast India, and Hotel Pohor Regency's position near the Kamakhya Gate makes it particularly useful if you're travelling through with a dog. The area around Bhutnath and Mekhela Ujuwa Path is relatively compact — reviewers consistently note the hotel's proximity to Nilachal Hill and the Kamakhya Gate Foot Bridge. The foothill setting means you're not deep in the urban core, which generally translates to slightly less street chaos when stepping out with a dog. That said, this is still a city hotel on a working urban road, so expect traffic and footpath conditions typical of Guwahati's busy neighbourhoods rather than a garden retreat.

The hotel has received strong reviewer praise for its location as a base for visiting Kamakhya Temple — one reviewer on Google noted that the temple is just ten minutes from the property. For pilgrims and travellers who want to combine a spiritual itinerary with a pet-permitted stay, this is genuinely useful. Just note that the temple complex itself has its own rules around animal access; the hotel's pet policy applies only to your room.

Rooms, Amenities, and What to Expect On-Property

Rooms are described by reviewers as compact but well-equipped for the price point — the hotel provides toiletries (shampoo and soap), a geyser or water heater in select rooms, air conditioning in select rooms, and a work desk in some configurations. Breakfast is available on property, and the hotel runs a restaurant and dining area — useful when you don't want to venture out for every meal. The restaurant has been reviewed positively, with one guest noting that both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are available. Room service is listed as an amenity on booking platforms.

Common area facilities include a 24-hour reception, lounge, and CCTV coverage throughout. The property is noted by reviewers to have sufficient parking space and accepts all major payment methods. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are listed as confirmed amenities. There is no pool on the property.

One reviewer flagged internet connectivity as a weak point — worth keeping in mind if you're travelling for work or need reliable connectivity for navigation and vet lookups while on the road with your dog.

Pet Policy — The Specifics That Matter

The confirmed policy is clear: pets are allowed inside guest rooms, and that is the boundary. Common areas — the lounge, restaurant, reception — are not accessible with your pet. This means mealtimes require either room service or leaving your dog secured in the room while you eat at the restaurant downstairs. For solo travellers with dogs, plan around this: room service is listed as available, which is the practical workaround here.

Guests are explicitly responsible for any damage caused by their pets, and the hotel reserves the right to charge for repair or replacement. There is no publicly stated pet fee, breed restriction, or weight limit in the available sources — but these details should be confirmed directly with the property before arrival. Call 084739 34320 to clarify current pet charges and to confirm which room types accommodate pets.

What We Haven't Confirmed Yet

The following details are worth verifying before your visit: whether there is a separate pet charge or deposit, which specific room categories permit pets, whether there is a nearby vet clinic, and whether there is any outdoor space (even a small lane or parking area) where you can walk your dog briefly on-property. Based on available reviewer data, no outdoor pet-specific amenity — such as a lawn, dedicated walk area, or pet bowl — has been mentioned. Guwahati does have veterinary services in the city, but proximity to the hotel has not been confirmed in the sources available to us.
