Marwell Zoo
Two night stay at Marwell Zoo.Nice 'safari' style hotel situated right next to the Zoo. Plenty of convenient parking and quite an unusual hotel but also very nice. Pleasant comfortable room and bar area. Nice but unexceptional breakfast, but overall very good value!

Lovely location and the room was quiet apart from the plumbing. We stayed for 1 night, the room was adequate although bathroom had a bad smell of drains with no extractor fan. The bed was lumpy on one side. The swimming pool is tired looking but we enjoyed our swim. Friendly staff. We would stay here again. Thank you.

The sauna was great.
Breakfast was ok, but one morning it was 20 minutes late which could be problematic if you count on it to be on time. Staff is really lovely and helpful. I love this hotel

Marwell Hotel
Uncomfortable bed with dip when lying down. Bar closed and no food available when checked in just before 11pm. Bathroom in need of modernisation, shower over the bath had poor water pressure, shower curtain didn’t fully reach the bath. Hot room when arrived and no aircon, unable to leave the room patio door open as this leads to a shared balcony with no room security. Basic breakfast on offer, quality of the food was cheap but plentiful, coffee on offer was instant and dispensed from a pump flask!

Lovely people at reception and bar areas. Warm welcome etc. Room was well equipped and clean. Bed was very comfortable and a good size. Breakfast was very good, although a bit limited on fruit and yogurts etc.
Would definitely stay again even though I did not visit the zoo, which was not a noisy place to stay!

Close to the zoo but needs a make over .
Staff at hotel very very polite and helpful. Breakfast was lovely. Sadly hotel could really do with a make over and it was pretty shabby which really let it down .

It was ok for a night stop off, but the bathroom was not very clean, dirt and timescale around the taps bath wasn't cleaned properly, hotel was a little bit shabby, all the glass windows needed a good clean. Dirt, and cobwebs inside and out. Chairs in the dinning hall were really dirty, not the right kind of chair to have with children. All bedding and towels very clean. Staff very helpful.

Negatives: Stayed in a very hot day in July.
There was no AC in the room or anywhere else in the hotel, only a very weak fan. Was sweating like a pig the whole stay.
Unable to connect to the hotel Wi-Fi. Not able to call reception, no phones in the room.
Positives: Friendly staff, interesting building layout and spacious room.
