Really nice stay, with well organised meal times and very efficient service. The hotel is great as all staff very friendly and helpful, with great atmosphere. The hotel is needing a bit of tlc and refurb as carpets getting worn and grubby. Great for access to park and animals, and parking really good. Only real complaint is the food, which although is very good and nice, it is quite pricey.

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.

No hot water in our room! This is the second time we have stayed at Chessington and both times there has been an issue with hot water. With two young children this caused inconvenience with the bed time routine, we were advised it would be sorted by 9pm that evening, it wasn’t! Still no hot water the following morning which delayed us getting ready which caused us to be late for breakfast and missing half of our early entrance privilege. We were given ‘magic money’ as a gesture whilst our compliant was being investigated, we had to walk around the park to find places that actually accepted the vouchers which again waisted our time and the vouchers didn’t cover the total bill as the restaurant is overpriced. Overall an overpriced, inconvenient experience. £282 for one night with no hot water!
