Wonderful Stay
Easy parking and friendly check in staff. Beautifully decorated, clean room that put a big smile on my face. Slept really well and woke to Zebras playing in sun. Very nice breakfast with a good choice. Would love to bring my family next time. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Chessington Safari Hotel & Zoo
Hotel is located perfectly for a short stay/zoo trip. Free parking and no need to move your car as you can make a short walk from the hotel to the entrance. Two restaurants and a indoor pool. Advise to book meals and pool in advance.

Amazing Hotel
Great hotel smells amazingly at all the time apart from the toilets next to the swimming pools. Trouble to watch TV , the food and drinks are very expensive. They have decent activities for kids.

Perfect staycation hotel
Really great hotel - mega family friendly. The splash pool is unique and superb for a family. Theming throughout makes the hotel really special. Staff exceptional throughout - all making a great effort.
Julian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Arrived to find that the restaurant and swimming pool were fully booked. Paid for a room with a view of the reserve no animals were out during our stay. The bit of the zoo we could see was hard to see the animals as the window was so dirty.

OK
OK hotel. Staff were very friendly. Shower in my room was very weak. Breakfasts were decent. Evening food wasn't the best. Not a bad stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Short stay on a work trip. It is very relaxing and welcoming. Safari themed rooms add to the relaxing atmosphere. A place to visit with the kids and family. Ample free parking, the restaurants serve tasty meals. Mostly buffet breakfast however a few times it has been table d'hote.

Skip the hot breakfast
Room was great but hot breakfast was disappointing. Bacon was dry, fried eggs like rubber and beans tasteless . Fruit and other cold meats and cereals were okay.

Average but it might been a one off
Got in our first room and it stunk of sewage so we got moved to a new room which was ok.We went for food in the restaurant and had to wait even though we booked and the food was average
Kevin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

An inch too short
Everything was good except the inch gap under the door to an adjoining room. Got woken up at 11:30 by music and someone talking on their phone for an hour. Because of the size of the gap under the door. It was like they were in my room. I could tell you the whole conversation (he had been to watch Watford play and likes to bring a pillow with him so it’s like being at home). They need doors that fit the gap. What was a good stay finished with the worst nights sleep.
Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly professional staff
There was a mix up with my booking on arrival, staff were very apologetic and got it sorted quickly and upgraded me due to the inconvenience. Staff were very professional and friendly. Food in restaurant was really good too. Only issue really was room had ab adjoining door and the person in the other room was niosy, those doors arnt well sound proofed.

A disappointing return
Returned after a stay last year as the kids had been begging to go back. On check in we had some minor request to see if we could be placed in a room close to where family was. This was possible but were told it would take 2 hours to address as the manager would have to do it and she was busy. Others were told similar wait times. The same case in the restaurant where simple questions were deferred to supervisors to answer. Some things in the hotel that the kids were looking forward to were broken - and on asking they had been out of service for sometime. Kids were also super disappointed that the evening “Disco” was a Cocomelon baby dancing around in a characterless conference room. Seemed generally that the hotel management were not on top of operations.

Gwena, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really nice stay, with well organised meal times and very efficient service. The hotel is great as all staff very friendly and helpful, with great atmosphere. The hotel is needing a bit of tlc and refurb as carpets getting worn and grubby. Great for access to park and animals, and parking really good. Only real complaint is the food, which although is very good and nice, it is quite pricey.
Kevin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Clueless staff and poor services.
On arrival the staff had no idea what they were doing. We booked 3 rooms at hotels.com and did book now pay later. They wanted to charge the 3 rooms (all the same) different rates and we had 8 or 9 different transactions coming in and out of the bank account. They then dissapeared and we had to go back to pay for one room. They also told us no information about the hotel or where anything was. The 3 rooms werent all on the same floor and all had different sized rooms although booking 3 of the same. The pool showers were ice cold so we had to walk through the hotel in our costumes to shower in the room which was luke warm. The bars didnt know how to pour a pint of beer and the service was painfully slow.
