Menu choices not great. Shabby , needs updating. Mattress lumpy , bed not made properly This was supposed to be an executive suite but didn’t feel like it. Tiny bathroom. On the plus side the large bed and Balcony were a great for us and staff were very friendly.

Tired but ok
The hotel should be rebranded to B&B at best. Very dated and in need of lots of TLC. Stayed here when it was quite new and was saddened to see how run down the rooms have been allowed to get wasnt i pressed with cleanliness either. Black mold round the bath. Toilet bowl rim awful and rustying sink. Had to pump toilet for it to flush. Breakfast was not up to much. Had better stays in cheaper hotels. Bed wasnt that comfy either old mattress and flat pillows. Wont be choosing to stay here again. It was adequate for families who needed to be near the zoo but not for a relaxing couples break.😔

Not again
The hotel looks rundown and out dated. the room was very dusty, the shower barely worked, the room was uncomfortably hot despite turning the radiator off, the bed was 2 beds pushed together with the most uncomfortable mattress on it. When it comes to the breakfast that was a buffet style set up but on some old fashioned portable serving dishes being kept warm with camping style gas stoves which made the food rubbery. They were serving coffee in a portable flask.

Such a cute hotel, really friendly and ample free parking. Situated next to the zoo, the area is quiet, relaxed and safe. I will definitely stay here again.

It was second time staying here and I think it is time some money was spent on the place. They seem understaffed as it took an age to get checked in. My room was ok but the mattress was like concrete and the pillows quite the opposite leading to a sore neck in the morning. I took it upon myself to clean the fan they had in the room which was a good thing as it was filthy and I can only imagine was sort of dust would have been thrust my way if I had not cleaned it. Evening dining was ok but the value for money left a lot to be desired with lackluster garlic bread, quite a greasy cheeseburger and a bland tarte only saved by the accompanying sorbet. Breakfast was a better experience to get the day off to a good start. The hotel looks quite tired with freezing corridors between the lobby and rooms.

There are no lifts but the staff helped with heavy cases if asked. There were no glasses for water in the room. The unique building - based on a jungle theme - was novel but needed refreshing. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel was a plantation style building on stilts built next to a zoo. We were wakened by beautiful exotic bird song ( not lions roaring as we expected). Food and accomodation was well presented and staff friendly. Overall a very unusual hotel tucked away in the Hampshire countryside.
