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.

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.

Gemma United Kingdom

The room was amazing. We loved the view of the animals. It was very large for the 4 of us. It was very clean and comfortable. We were absolutely delighted that we chose to stay at the hotel.

Frost United Kingdom

Sean United Kingdom

Very good staff and service in the zafari restaurant. Lovely food in zafari for dinner. Very good size child portions. Clean comfortable rooms fridge in our room was great for keeping our drinks cold. Easy check in and out Swimming pool was great for kids Prebooking pool was a challenge after several attempts calling the leisure booking number but the staff did their best and i later received a call back to book an allocated slot.

Stacey United Kingdom

View from the room was amazing, the room itself was lovely (just the standard family room) perfect for little ones of all ages. The hotel is absolutely catered towards children. You can go and ask for milk from the bar and heat it up which really helped. Very clean as well.
