We had a great stay overall. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded from a twin room to a family room, which gave us plenty of extra space and was much appreciated.

Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff were friendly and efficient. The room was modern, tidy, and comfortable, with everything we needed for our stay.

The only small criticism is that the room could have been a little cleaner, as there were a few cobwebs around the windows. It wasn't a major issue and didn't affect our stay, but it's something that could easily be improved.

Overall, we had a positive experience and would happily stay here again.

A modern fresh and clean hotel. Very quiet, really comfy beds, large television and a great assortment of tea and coffee options in the room
Including tea bags, coffee bags, fruit tea and hot chocolate and biscuits. My one improvement would be to have the same extensive range of drinks at breakfast instead of just normal tea and various coffee options

Came with our baby to be told they don’t provide mattresses and expected him to sleep on a travel cot which he would have felt metal rods in his back. Also a huge hole. This doesn’t comply with safe sleep regulations. Nowhere on the website to state this. We had to pay extra for a room upgrade but felt like this should have been complimentary. Breakfast was also quite poor.

We booked a room with a balcony and view of the resort. The view was mainly overlooking the bistro area. We did get a glimpse of a bushdog. The room was for 4 people but only two chairs on the balcony.
We would not bother with a balcony with a resort view again. The resort is very well kept and clean. The breakfast was a buffet and ok.

The hotel and location are amazing. The rooms are comfortable, clean, felt luxurious, and our park-side room had an amazing direct view of the park, where we could see a few of the animals, which was lovely. The staff were really friendly, welcoming and helpful. The cafes, restaurants and shops that are on the hotel’s doorstep are really nice and the whole area feels enclosed and a lovely place to stay, relax and explore. The park is beautiful and right next to the hotel - so perfect to stay if you’re going to the park. It’s an all-around great hotel to stay in for a night, or even for a full holiday! We will definitely be returning.

I loved my 'mini-break' at The Hex Hotel. I was combining a day at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park and meeting up with various family members who lived near Rossington, so a 2-night stay was arranged. On both evenings I treated cousins to a meal at the restaurant, and the food was delicious, the staff were attentive and friendly. Also had breakfast there each morning, which was tasty and plenty of choice provided. The hotel room was so comfortable and roomy, and the bathroom had both a bath and a shower. I was also lucky and was upgraded to a room with a balcony. There's loads of parking, but it is a bit of a walk from there to the hotel reception area, then a further walk to the actual hotel. I can highly recommend a stay here. I'll definitely be booking again.

It was a lovely room and the staff were great. My only criticism I have is I paid for a room with view of the park-i didn't feel this was fulfilled. I could see one enclosure but otherwise it was of the outdoor seating area, the park entrance and all the work that was been done. I would have also thought that when checking in I would be asked if I wanted to visit the park as there was no option when booking to add a park visit. The food was great, the staff were super friendly.

This hotel is awesome! Set in a great location. Everywhere was so clean. The room was perfect for a one night stay, with the amenities you require, all catered for. There is even a room adjacent to the lifts, for microwave or bottle warming. They really have thought of everything. Being required to tag in to gain access does give you a peace of mind that only guests may enter.
In the morning for breakfast, you can not loan. A great selection of everything required for a long day of walking around the awesome zoo next door

The Hex Hotel is a Basic hotel on the luxury side. What I mean is there are no frills but it is a great place to stay particular when visiting the Yorkshire Wildlife park. It makes the stay very pleasant being able to relax after your visit or before your visit to the park. Two nights is ideal visiting the YWP in the middle. If you are a YWP member you can visit for a short while on all days. I really like the hotel and always stay here when travelling to the YWP.
It is clean and spacious with friendly staff. The breakfast is wonderful with everything you could want, The eggs this time were a little like bullets but it may have been just my timing I guess not everyone likes a runny egg. Air conditioning in the rooms is a plus when hot such as at the current time.

A lovely place but unfortunately let down by rude staff, bad room placement and broken air conditioning.

There was a wedding taken place and the music went on into the night, between this and the broken air conditioning, our young baby was disturbed through the night. We contacted Gary the nightporter who was helpful and explained they knew it was an issue and to raise it with management the following day. We contacted management by email in the end as no one was available the following day. I was contacted by Vicky, who did offer a tokenistic 20% off on future bookings but implied I had lied about all issues and failed to respond when I queried her approach. Really disappointing, at over £200 a night - we got no sleep and our baby really didn’t enjoy the next day owing to his discomfort in the night.

A real shame that it could have been resolved so easily with effective customer service and a kind manner.

The air con wasn’t working on our first three nights but the last night (also the warmest night) it thankfully was fixed. It was much needed in the evening when the sun moves round.
The room was a good size and equipped with everything - kettle, good selection of hot drinks, hairdryer , iron and board, fridge and mini toiletries. The cleaning was done to a good standard. Our room overlooked the park, we saw the Lar Gibbons, Tapirs, Maned Wolves and Bush dogs at all times during the day. It was very special and a wonderful sight to wake up to.
Breakfast was delicious, a good choice at the buffet - fruit cereals, toast, crumpets, cooked breakfast and cold and hot drinks.
The staff were excellent, they were always polite and helpful, very friendly and welcoming!

Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, loved that there is an ice machine on each floor... only issue being that there is nothing to put the ice in to take it to your room. The room itself we likes alot it was very spacious and modern, the ac wasnt great as it wouldn't let you put the room temp below 19 degrees so didnt really do much. We really enjoyed the buffet breakfast... the main issue we had with this hotel is the distance from the car park to the entrance, it is way too far especially as my husband is in a wheelchair so took more than one trip just to get him and then all the luggage up to the room.

On entry of the Hex Hotel the car park is a short distance from the hotel entrance, there is no drop off point immediately outside the reception area, eg - if it was raining your items would be quite if not not entirely soaked. My advice is to park up first, sign in at the Hotel Reception and then collect a porters trolley for your luggage from the reception area. However if you are able to carry all your items in one go then great. Staff are friendly, polite and inform you are all the important notices to make your stay pleasing. Our room was a double, parkside, which was so nice to wake upto, it was clean, had all the ammenties required for your stay and I am very particular. However, if you are used to soft towels, please bring your own, these are very rough, in our eyesand the shower is fantastic. On our last night we had an issue with the safe, the number did not work, it continually kept asking for an ecode, at this point we contacted reception and someone came immediately to sort this out. They elementated all possiblities and unfortunately was not able to resolve this, due to be a fault on the safe, so there was 2 options - 1. remain in the room, as we were checking out the following morning, or 2. relocate to another room, but it was nice that the option was available and very apologetic. Excellent stay and would highly recommend.

Car park is quite a distance away. Then reception isn’t with the hotel, I was distracted and tired and missed the reception as I saw the hotel first, headed to that, couldn’t get in and then asked in the bar Reyes Pinter me back to the hotel entrance, it wasn’t u til some other guests arrived that they Pinter out the reception back towards the car park. Annoying when it’s raining as they are not next to each other. This needs to be made clearer.
Room was ok, a little more than a travelodge if I’m honest.room was actually cold, with solid floors and was woken up by people walking around in the room above. Who needs to be walking around from 2-5am!!!
Breakfast was ok, told to sit anywhere, yet the tables weren’t made up, no cutlery or condiments, all other tables had dirty plates and hadn’t been wiped clean. Would I stay there again? Maybe if little or nothing else was available, I go somewhere else if in the area.

Lovely hotel for Yorkshire wildlife park. It makes visiting much more enjoyable at a reasonable cost. Especially when travelling from some distance away. The staff are friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The wild bistro do a great breakfast but could do with healthier options for dinner. Otherwise a perfect stay.

Stayed here a few times, always pretty good, worth noting the car park is a bit of a walk away from reception which is in a seperate building to the hotel which is a further walk from reception so you will get your steps in. The rooms are well appointed with good beverages in the room, you have your own AC control and the beds & rooms are clean with a decent sized TV, WiFi is also good. The toiletries supplied appear to be good quality the shower is OK. They also offer family rooms as well as doubles as I found out on my last stay where my room had a bunk bed next to the door in - again point of note this configuration might not suit soem families as the door is easily opened from inside, the bunk beds are by the door and the view from the main bed is obstructed by a wall in this direction. I noticed the grouting in the shower was was a mouldy on this visit as was the shower mat which I reported. I have coeliac disease so cannot eat gluten or gluten-contaminated food so breakfast could have been a problem but the staff were excellent & the chef cooked me my own special plate rather than the buffet & even supplied gluten free toast - very impressed! Overall I recommend this hotel, it is good value and pleasant

Overall our stay was good, the room was clean and well-appointed.
However as a wheelxhair user the disabled car park needs resurfacing (it was quiet uneven to transfer in and out of the car).

There's also quite a dip in front of the entrance door to the rooms making it more difficult to bump over the metal entrance strip.

All Staff excellent, unexpected upgrade was a bonus, hotel itself very modern and all amenities catered for. However house keeping need to pay more attention to detail! hairs on bedding, room floors dirty/grimey, balcony glass needs algae removing and cigarette butts left on balcony (we don't smoke) which was a shame as everything else was perfect

We booked a premium family room with a balcony (park view) and a twin (park view) Staff were amazing, I contacted them to request if both rooms could be close together. I got a phone call back from a lovely lady (I wish I got her name) to offer a room upgrade for Twin to a Suite. Unfortunately it meant being on a different floor so I politely declined. Upon arrival they had managed to implement an even better upgrade as it was only 2 doors away. Having an autistic son who likes to visit his Grampa, this made him very happy. Can’t thank you enough!

The rooms are always clean and bright. Love staying here, we always seem to get a balcony with a view of the Maned Wolves, which we love as they are quite active and playful. Got some great snaps and the children loved it! Food from the Bistro and evolution of was lovely and service both nights was spot on. This is an annual visit for us around Christmas and it’s amazing.

Excellent location for visiting Yorkshire Wildlife Park. There are many great amenities on the doorstep (restaurants, coffee, ice cream, shops, kids’ play facilities etc) and parking is free. Breakfast is pleasant with a suitable variety. All staff were so friendly and helpful! Check in was a breeze and restaurant staff couldn’t do enough. The cleanliness across the hotel, restaurant and Hive area was excellent. The communal ‘watering hole’ on each landing in the hotel was handy for use of microwave and cutlery (disposable).
The only downside for us was that we opted for a park view room and were facing a gravel path, an assembly point and empty field. With enough peering, the maned wolves were visible early on a morning. Slightly disappointing compared to what I imagine the view is from other rooms.
All in all, a lovely stay and we would return.

Decent hotel rooms. Weird place overall. Went for business night stop with no Knowledge of the wildlife park. You have to park a short walk away from the hotel reception building. Fine as was dry but needs cover for if v wet. Then that building is quite disconnected from the room building which is a walk through various other theme park and retail buildings. The connected restaurant is poor. Staff and room itself are lovely. But the menu and quality of food provided for a fairly premium price is really very ordinary.

Room was immaculate, amazing view of the zoo. Fully stocked with tea coffee and hot chocolate and jammy dodgers were a win for my son.
Staff are so friendly and helpful… I put a note in my booking comments that this was a surprise from Santa brought by the elf, asked if a note could be put in the room ( did not think it would be read) There was a card from Santa on the bed when we got in the room…Christmas magic

We had a lovely overnight stay at Hex. We had a resort-side room and it was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. It was so nice to wake up and see the bush-dogs, tapirs and maned wolf from our window! Breakfast is great too, with good veggie and meat choices on the buffet. Staff are friendly and attentive. Overall I think it’s good value and we’d happily come back.
