Familu friendly hotel . So surreal eating dinner watching safarai animals out of the window. Staff very friendly

Fogarty Ireland

Loved the hotel all staff was amazing went out of there way to make our stay special and to see the smile on the kids family is priceless and to get away and to have time instead of appointment

Jarvis United Kingdom

Very impressed especially given the price we paid. We weren’t going to Chessington but the hotel stay made for a really fun trip for our kids, from the pool, the theming of the hotel which was top notch (and we do Orlando a lot), the view of the zebras in the morning and the helpful and professional staff. kids loved the Azteca room and while food was a bit pricey, it wasn’t bad at all, especially the value of the kids meals. The breakfast was probably on par with premier inn, and you wouldn’t expect anything fancy. The setting in the Temple Bar with the fish tank and ants along the wall made it really outstanding for the kids. Would definitely recommend this place for a stay over in the area or prior to a Chessington trip.

Jennifer United Kingdom

The location and view from our room was excellent.

Tom United Kingdom

The hotel on site being next to the theme park and early access to rides before the park opened

Allison United Kingdom

Good parking. Friendly welcome on arrival. Room comfortable, very clean, restricted view of park but good viewing point in public area outside lifts. Good breakfast.

P4tcj United Kingdom

I went on the offseason in February, It was quiet and peaceful. I saw the prices of hotels in London and compared them to the outskirts and this hotel wins. Has excellent facilities, like a ZOO! and a pool. The location some may say isn't very interesting but, everything can be reached by metro or the bus.

Loved the entire stay - had a room which overlooked the park so began the day with a wonderful parade of animals. Staff are charming and helpful. Breakfast excellent - buffet style.

P4tcj United Kingdom

Liked early and late access to the park / animals. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was great. Chocolate left on pillows was a nice touch for the kids.

Zoe United Kingdom

We were Lucky enough to get a view with the animals It was absolutely amazing, my son is obsessed with animals. We loved that you could view the animals at night time. The kids loved the little quiz to open the safe it kept them busy for a while.
