Used as accommodation for visiting Wimbledon. Very convenient with the station less then 15 minutes walk and trains direct to Wimbledon in another 15. Clean, well-themed hotel for youngsters. Excellent view from room into part of the zoo. Nice pool and breakfast buffet.

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.

Really lovely staff. Very helpful and went the extra mile. We did have to wait nearly an hour to check in but that was a tech glitch and not to be held against the staff! We would have liked longer time in pool and dining areas and take away food was tiny portions and horribly expensive.

Erica

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Did not like the smell of sewage as soon as the room door was opened (342) very evident. Limited evening meal options and not a very good range of prices. Also the Buffet option in the Temple Restaurant does not cater for all, My vegetarian, gluten free mother only wanted chips but had to pay a staggering £17.75...just for chips. Ridiculous! Also on the Special Requests, for breakfast, I had asked for Gluten Free bread and not got any for the 2 days stay. Signage is not good either, couldnt easily find the Temple Restaurant. I dont think I will be staying here again. Not enough Disabled Parking right outside hotel. The hotel could also benefit from evening entertainment and snack shop.

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.
