Not impressed enough for £180 for one night!
In approx 28° the air con could barely breathe itself - I could have blown harder myself! Asked reception to check it out and they sent one member of staff who change the settings to the wrong one that heated instead of cooled when the motor started running he declared that was it working and cooling already! 20 mins later I spoke to reception again who said they would have someone look at it again while we were out at dinner. We have no idea whether anyone came or not because it was off when we arrived back about 10.30pm where room was sweltering and the windows wouldn’t open at all. Phone reception and after a discussion she proposed the Duty Manager came to see. He said it was on the wrong setting and declared that it was working even though it was barely functioning. He then offered a fan or a portable AC unit so I chose the latter. It was sitting blasting air and noise however it wasn’t cooling at all and just circulating the already warm air round the room. We turned it off and I stripped my bed of duvet and mattress cover (because of the plastic making me even hotter) and went to sleep on and off during the whole night, as did my husband! Appalling service and even though we’re have stayed here numerous times, we won’t be back.
Extremely badly stained duvet.
Disgusting

The hotel was nice, staff were friendly. The bed was a bit uncomfortable and the sofa bed was like sleeping on springs (room 565)

If you are visiting the zoo, sure. Otherwise, dont
The lobby, bar, reception area are very nice. Unfortunately that's where it stops, the common areas, hallways and guest rooms are disgusting.
