We stay here every year for business. Excellent hotel - fantastic breakfast. Only reason it’s not fully 5/5 is when checking out I was told they were busy and to write down my name and details and my receipt would be emailed. 5 days later and I still haven’t received this. Also I am sure a bit of a gdpr issue that I was asked to write on paper that had the previous persons personal details on as well.

Hotel is great for visiting the park and views of the animals. Zafari restaurant has great views of the animal park and the food is as expected. The junior entertainment was great for our 3 year old. Stayed in a Azetec room with separate bunk bed area. The room was a good size, clean and comfortable. The bed was too firm for me which made sleep uncomfortable, but thats just my preference.

Liked: Cleanliness
Check in was prolonged due to code and QR sent for check in not working, then another guest complaining at reception so manual check in was delayed. Room was adequate and beds comfortable but nothing special for the price. Evening activities for kids were ok when we found them but they were not well signed so almost missed them. Breakfast was ok, good fruit options, awful sausages. Leaving the carpark was chaos, can only assume some people didn't pick up a parking pass from reception so then got stuck waiting for help at the single exit barrier.

Great hotel directly at Chessington World of Adventures. Everything is themed very nicely and a lot of the rooms and restaurants have a view directly on the Safari park and some of the animals. Absolutely lovely. Customer service was also great, especially by Malakaib.

The hotel/room is not worth the amount paid. They were understaffed. Check-in and luggage collection was a time taking process. There was no telephone in the room to talk to reception. They had mentioned about a smart TV in the room, but even the remote control was not working. The lighting in the room was inadequate. The hotel and restaurant staffs were no friendly.
