Lovely hotel and great location for the zoo. Quiet, clean and good size rooms. Bar area is nice and though small, the pool and sauna are well kept and a nice place to relax.

Decent hotel but restaurant let's it down. Breakfast fine but dining in restaurant was v poor. I doubt anything is cooked fresh on site. Reminds me of a chain pub which I don't go to anymore. Way overpriced too. Had starter AND main brought out together. Main went away but probably just stuck under a warm light until we were eventually served it. The crispy chicken sandwich didn't look or taste like chicken and was v chewy so wife left hers. They apologised and was she was offered a complimentary drink from bar ( she's teetotal) so she asked for a latte and was given the smallest one available. Like I've said , hotel is v good but poor food and service in restaurant let's it down v badly.

We were given an accessible room - not sure why. It was well worn but fairly clean. The biggest complaint I have is that the quilt was too small for the bed. Not a comfortable stay. Restaurant and bar staff were great but some other staff could have been more welcoming.

Was offered an upgrade to celebrate a birthday with decorations and treats in the room. Called to confirm days before, customer service was terrible. When checking in doubled checked and was told they knew nothing about it. 5 mins before they quickly set up the room. Also the hotel is not very accessible, no lifts from the parking unless having to walk around the whole hotel. There is no ramps to get to the restaurant. Lots of stairs
