Book your dinner table early here or you will miss out like we did. Not a problem for us as we went off site to the Shy Horse for some dinner (very good).
Very busy at times and hard to find staff. Reception staff disappeared from time to time. Reception staff friendly and helpful when around.
Kids club available (finished at 9pm).
Enjoyed our stay here.
You need an app for the restaurant foods ok.
The room came with separate TV's in each room , a locked safe in the children's room and a small yet very useful fridge in the main room. The bathroom was clean with a nice deep tub to soak in. It has a rain head shower as well as a detachable on. Bath mat and towels were provided and replace by staff if needed.The cleaning staff were very good and replace towels and linen daily. Hoovered and replace complimentary shampoo and conditioner. Only Negative I would mention is although the room was good there were still some small work to be done. The ceiling was patchy from filling it and painting one patch at a time ( had to be a good 14 spots redone) some the paint and plaster was chipping off in the bathroom but very minor., It didn't effect our stay and overall was a great experience for some R&R after a fun filled day.
Downstairs is the buffet style restaurant- Temple Bar which had plenty of food - Carvery and in the morning - Full English & Continental plus extras.
We ate at the Safari restaurant, lovely with views into the Wanyama area – spot the zebras, ostriches or giraffes! You can also walk around the area & there’s a small kids playground. Ensure you book the restaurant online in peak season. Buffet breakfast was a hot selection (eggs, sausages, beans) , cereals, pain choc, fruit & toast with a selection of jams. Staff were on hand and very helpful. Dinner was fine, it was mainly tea for the kids, bit slow to be served, but food was nice.
Hotel guests have access to Chessington park queuing from 8.45am via Azteca gate just by the Temple restaurant. Staff let you in from 9am with ticket and bag checks. A selection of rides are open for guests between 9-10am. We preorderd a photo digipass and found it great for a whole day of ride pics. Activate it at the first photo booth you use, where they’ll issue you a QR for the rest of the day. Azteca Gate closes at 10am, so return to the hotel is via Lodge Entrance. In the evening Amazu play area is open at 6pm until 7 or 8pm.
The park will always be very busy over the Summer, the staff were doing their very best to keep things moving and up and running asap if there were any technical problems. Download the app to view ride times and plan what rides are most important. Dragon Fury and Vampire were queuing before 10am. Have fun!
Highly recommend it is a great experience.
