The hotel was family-friendly, but the room wasn't as clean as expected, with noticeable dust. We paid a lot for a family king room, only to be given a view of a roof overlooking the main car park. Unfortunately, this also meant we could hear music from outside reception until almost 9pm every evening.
The bar was extremely expensive – £20 for just four soft drinks. The pillows were very hard, and noisy neighbours woke us at 4am, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.
Overall, while the hotel was suitable for families, I don't feel it offered good value for the price. If we visited again, we'd choose to stay at an off-site hotel instead.

The staff were amazing they just need more of them. The breakfast was not great tomatoes were cooked but cold, tasted dusty I think they were from the day before as we were one of the first in. The juice was disgusting as expected.

We arrived in time for early entry on day 1 but still had to queue so had to queue to get through security etc. A handful of rides were open but they did include croc drop and mandrill so we quickly did those and then waitied for Dragons Fury which opened on time.
Lunch at the BBQ restaurant was expensive for what it was but this is common at most parks.
Our room was ready by 2.30pm so we went abd checked in a bit early. The room was ok. Good voews of the animals who seemed to be out 24/7. We saw them before it got dark and again at 5.30am. Not much in the eay of entertainment at the hotel. The publicised meet and greets and ganes etc were cancelled and there was a sort of treasure hunt instead shich was ok.
Dinner, sadly, was awful in the Temple Buffet - barely warm food (despite being early in the dinner service at 5.30pm), lacking in taste but the kids were ok with their sausages, chips and beans and puddings. No fruit was avaialble on the buffet at dinner and very little that's healthy. For £100 for a family of 4 it was very expensive for what was on offer.
In the room the bathroom had shampoo and shower gel but quite high up so no good for use whilst in the bath. Breakfast buffet was ok - finally some fruit! The small plates reduce what you take but also make it hard for kids to cut their food easily. At least it was hot this time though!
Day 2 we checked out easily and queued again for early entry. Not many rides ready. Overall an ok stay

The room was clean but very hot, couldn’t turn heating down. Swimming needs to be booked in advance but you can’t do that unless you book the hotel stay directly with chessington - therefore we couldn’t do the swimming as it was fully booked. I called them multiple times before the stay to ask to book but was told it can only be done on arrival for Expedia guests. Disappointed overall but it was better than a premier inn

The first issue arose when I received an email from Hotels.com with links to pre reserve breakfast and our time slots for the swimming pool. The link for the pool did not work and so my partner called the hotel to ask if they could book a slot at the pool for us. We were told that as we had booked via Hotels.com the links would not work and the staff at the hotel could not pre reserve the Pool slots. We would have to do it when we arrived.
When we checked into the hotel and went to the pool the staff told us we could not reserve slots as the system was down and we had to just come back and hope there was space when we did otherwise would have to wait.
We came back about half an hour later and none of the staff mentioned anything about the pool. It was not until we got pool side that we saw the splash pool was closed, as was the jacuzzi, the sauna and the steam room. When I asked the young lad at poolside he told me it should be open by the end of the week. No use to us as we're were only there two nights....
In addition when we got out the pool and went for a shower, they were freezing cold!

When we checked out last year the staff told us we could still use the facilities and so we went swimming again after checking out. So, this year we planned to do the same as that day was my son's birthday and he was looking forward to going to the pool.
When I checked out the girl on reception never asked how our stay was and told us the pool was closed for the day. Sums up our stay...

The room was extremely warm even we had turned the heating off. The noise from upstairs was awful as children were running around until 11pm. The fridge also made noise all night which I then figured we could switch it off at the wall. I didn’t make a complaint as I didn’t want to upset the children. They were already shattered as they couldn’t sleep. This then impacted our day as we were left with grumpy children. We had to save up for this experience with the children as we don’t have a lot of spare money and it’s very disappointing that it wasn’t as joyous as we hoped.

There was a plenty of free parking close to the hotel. The hotel could do with some repairs and general tidy up, the overnight price was reasonable so not expecting perfection. Dining options are limited unless you book, we had quite a distance to travel so didn’t want to book and miss the slot. Breakfast service has a good choice but again it’s advisable to book, not quite sure how they cope in the summer months.

A very clean and well presented property, excellent themeing and location to the park. Breakfast was excellent as were staff. The room was the let down, the bed was very hard and felt like the mattress was very old and worn. The pillows and duvet weren't much better. The bathroom was well worn and needs a refresh, shower was leaking, lots of rust and cracks and signs of wear.

Overall it was a mix of a high end hotel with Travelodge furnishings in the rooms. Only paid 70 with breakfast and animal view so I felt good value but I would not pay more that 90 a night.

ALSO the animals don't roam in the winter so the view is not worth it.

Parking was great I parked right outside the hotel. The park was very confusing quite a few attractions closed or animals like the tigers moved on to a zoo and we wasn’t told of this luckily a passing member of staff notified me after waiting some time. Very expensive for food and drinks costing me £40 for two hot dogs and a refill drink that didn’t allow me to refill?? Food was cold and not very nice . Staff were very rude slow service and just didn’t want to be there almost throwing the food snacks etc across the counter at customers whilst spraying cleaner fluid at each other joking around with not one thought for anyone else. Stage entertainment was first class and very entertaining my daughter loved it. I was very disappointed with the park . The hotel was nice my daughter enjoyed the treasure hunt and the evening entertainment . The staff on reception was not very helpful and again seemed as though they didn’t want to be there but all other staff at the hotel especially the pool and restaurant staff were very nice . I would visit again but I would take my own food and drinks , plan my way around the park better.

Magical stay for allergy family using clubcard!

We stayed in the cheapest family room (double and bunk beds) as a family of 4, booking through Hotels.com and visited during the 1st week of our 2 week October Half Term.
Positives: magical experience for the children. Being able to have meals overlooking the zebras was amazing. Stuffed toys and freddos on the kids pillows when we arrived and staff in the restaurant at the Safari Hotel went above and beyond to make our children comfortable. Early ride time from 9am, we did 4 rides before the 10am opening. The children LOVED the small splash park and pool, it was the perfect way to unwind after a day at the park. Comfy beds and quieter than we were expecting. It also catered better than I was expecting for allergies. The dreaded folder of doom appeared at breakfast and in theTemple buffet restaurant but they had gluten free rolls at breakfast and our son's dairy allergy was especially easy to cater for. Including refillable ice-cream in the temple restaurant buffet (all plant based) and the chefs brought out fresh food instead of the buffet food.

Negatives: Food at the restaurants was a bit pricey (but no more so than other theme parks), the evening children's entertainment was really really poor. Lower your expectations! It was one member of staff thinking of games on their feet and they included dares
... For under 5s. Extra charge for the pool wasn't clear on here £3 each. Some rides weren't working and it wasn't communicated to hotel guests.

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.

This is a fun place to stay. I booked a safari-themed family room to sleep 5 even though it was just me staying. Room rate included parking, breakfast and use of the pool.

Room was a little tired but clean and perfectly fine for an overnight stay. There’s no overhead light in the bedroom area (just the corridor by the door) so it could be a challenge if you plan to read, etc. There’s a fridge in the room which can be a little noisy but I slept fine with my usual earplugs.

The bunk beds had complimentary Freddo frog chocolates so I enjoyed those.

The pool is a lovely bonus. It wasn’t busy when I stayed as it was a weekday during school term.

There’s a bar and two restaurants. The food options are mostly burgers, pizzas and ‘from the grill’ options. Not much for a vegetarian so I chose the two cocktails for £18 option and had packed snacks back in my room.

While this isn’t aimed at the single adult overnight stay, I’d definitely stay again. Nice people and a fun place to stay. It cost the same as a more standard B&B which wouldn’t have given me the chance to see giraffes and zebras at breakfast.

I met other single travellers who also felt this was a bargain midweek and much better than a standard hotel. Everyone was leaving happy in the morning.

Fab hotel & for kids. Book swimming in advance!

We stayed in the Aztec Monkey Room and it was great for kids and adults alike. Enough space and great idea to have a small partition between kids bunk beds and adults bed too. Lovely touch that they give you a small quiz of counting things around your room walls, to unlock a safe (located in kids room) that holds something inside for kids to find (even if the alarm beeping when code entered incorrectly by smaller kids pressing, drives you a little crazy :-)). Sadly we only noticed this quiz too late to take advantage of finding out what’s inside!

Hotel is clean and well kept and located one min from the park entrance and actually within the park for the early access doors, which is a massive benefit to staying.
The restaurant food choice was good and catered to my gluten and dairy intolerances also :-).

Great view of lots of animals from this hotel and from our room which was on the end and the kids loved.

Only things that let the hotel down was that we requested a cot in the room before arriving, which was not present upon arrival. It had to be requested by us a further three times over a 4 hour period before it finally arrived and impacting little one’s nap time.
Secondly the splash pool looks incredible however has to be booked in advance, with little direction on how to do so before arriving and by the time we arrived, all slots were totally booked up leaving us unable to experience this at all. This was very disappointing for the kids.
Overall, great experience!

Not great, but ok rooms and the kids had fun

We booked a monkey room with views to see the animals. The room was clean and the wallpaper was fab. We had a partial view of Wanyama, and sadly didn’t see any animals. Though if we did, the photos wouldn’t have come out very well as the windows were pretty dirty.
The main bed had an uncomfortable creaky old mattress, and there was a noisy fridge that hummed on and off through the night.
Bathroom extractor fan doesn’t turn off so also noisy through the night.
No way to contact reception without walking a long way back to the Safari hotel…the monkey rooms are based in the Azteca hotel which doesn’t have its own reception.
TV didn’t initially work in the bunk bed room, but was fixed quickly by a lovely staff member.
Backs of remote were missing on both remotes.
No main light, couldn’t see a thing in our suitcase so had to use my phone’s torch.
Having a pool is a great asset but very annoyingly, the Savannah splash pool was closed for our time slot, as not enough staff.
Restaurant very basic but extortionate pricing. Most mains cost £20 but don’t fill you up.
Had dnd sign on the door but at 9.45am had a staff member knocking to ask when we plan on leaving. We were almost ready to go, for departure at 10am, so not sure why that happened.
All in all, not great, as the main reasons to stay over (animals and swimming pool) didn’t happen. £300 for the room plus £100 for day in the theme park is just not good value.

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.

The bed is probably the worse I sleep in my life, the rooms are old and used , bathroom is a disaster , broken toilet and no water pressure in the shower, handle is broken.

The resort overall excellent lots of things do with the children even if you don’t go to the theme park . The problem is there is no halal food in both of the restaurants. The vegetarian option are not even vegetarian as they cook in the same pan . There should be halal food options.

The pool was busy and disappointing, rooms were not cleaned to a high standard. The theme and access to the park was great with early access saving some of the queue time. The price is set a little too high but was good enough.

The hotel is now looking tired. Our bed was very uncomfortable which did effect our sleep. The food in the Safari Grill resturant was nice but portions are small.
The plus side of staying at the hotel is that you get in the park an hour early although only limited rides are open.
