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.

Excessive noise in corridors in the middle of the night, there was a wedding who's guests were less than respectful to those of us not part of the wedding party. Dinner menu was no better than Weatherspoons.

We stayed for 1 night for a wedding we didnt use the pool as we didnt know they had one till we got there. No-one explained when it was open etc or what facilities they had on site. Room was big, but it didnt feel the cleanest. We were greated by a daddy longlegs on one wall and spider on the other. The bathroom door was in poor condition and so damaged by water it wouldnt shut. Shower was good and there was a bath tub. Bed was comfortable Breakfast was a bit of a waiting game. There were plenty of tables (but several needed clearing) they werent ready for next people. Hot food option, we had to wait ages with a plate of food for beans as they needed to be heated up. A lady next tonus had asked for a fried egg and it turned up 15mins after she had finished her food. That said the food was good it was just the service which was very slow and disorganised. Check in and check out were easy and price was reasonable. The ground were a mess. Just overgrown with weeds and looked unkempt. Its a woodland environment but there was rubbish in amongst it which was a shame.

The hotel is run down and needs some updating. The bathroom is tired with lime scale marks all around the back of the sink and down the tiles. The door didn't lock from the inside which I wasn't ideal either.

One night stay was ok, but somewhat disappointing.
Our pre-paid booking had not registered on the Marwell system, so check-in took quite a long time. The desk staff were quite pleasant and eventually resolved the issue and said that we had been upgraded to a Bridal Suite because of the problems at check-in. However, had we been newly weds we would have been disappointed by their idea of a bridal suite. The rooms all seem to have quite narrow, shared balconies, so you would not want to leave the patio doors open at night to get fresh air. We also had to wait with two other groups at the bar for between 5-10 mins because there were no staff in attendance.

The room was close to the hotel entrance but we had a nice quiet stay and slept very well except for the doors banging closed in the morning. Could not make out if this was staff or guests. We did not dine at the hotel so cannot comment about the food or other facilities. Overall a nice hotel.

Convenient for Marwell Zoo and Resort but although bedroom and bed were large and comfortable there was a lack of thorough cleaning and the bed sheet was stained, We had to request a replacement, which was dealt with promptly. Hospitality tray had obviously not been moved to clean surrounding surface as stains and crumbs all around it. Bathroom door and floor need a thorough scrub.
