Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Chessington Resort Hotel from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms and the chance to enter Chessington Park 30 minutes early. The views of animals like giraffes, zebras, and ostriches roaming freely from the rooms are frequently mentioned as spectacular. While some found breakfast chaotic due to external events, others enjoyed the variety available. The hotel's proximity to attractions like Hampton Court Palace is also a plus for many visitors.

The staff were SOOO helpful with my child's nut allergy when eating breakfast and dinner. Their allergy folders were always to hand and very up to date. I also found our room comfy and clean.
The hotel carpark is very cramped and uneven. There were also no footpaths. I also found it annoying to be charged a random fee when we picked up our keycards.

Excellent Stay with Early Park Access!

varied buffetearly accesshelpful staffrental fee
The breakfast buffet was varied (especially the pastries). Early access to the park made a big difference with school groups arriving later. The staff were helpful. The Safari Twin Room Bunk Beds were nice and neat.
I found the pool towels requiring a rental fee a bit inconvenient.
