We stayed Sunday to Tuesday. We arrived about 23.00. Staff were there to greet us and were in bed in no time. Room was spotless. Breakfast was plentiful. Something for everyone. Outside in parts was dated and needing renovated. Didn't affect our stay . Staff were pleasant and helpful. Cheery and friendly especially with my wee ones.

Although the rooms were a little tired, we found our stay comfortable and extremely convenient for the park. Breakfast was good but found the restaurant very cold (Temple) so we didn’t stay very long. The staff were helpful, especially Daniel, who was friendly and answered our questions. We would stay here again should we visit the park again.

Great room although a little tired (which is the general vibe from the accommodation levels of the hotel). The reception & dining areas are well kept & welcoming. The food at the hotel was really good - we ate in the Zafari Bar & Grill as a family of 4 for £70 which included sides, drinks & extravagant milkshakes so not bad value at all considering it's a captive audience. Receptionist was far from welcoming & it boggles me that resorts of this size wouldn't have their friendliest staff members as the front of house. Overall, a great stay, let down in certain areas, but not enough to put me off returning.

Wrong but reasonable room. Poor functioning dining area and check in. Chessington and Merlin management don’t seem to take pride in their assets; it’s clear that they are amateurs in the hotel trade.
