Howletts Zoo Tours and Activities

The hotel itself is pleasant, good views from sea facing rooms and a good breakfast although lacking in fresh fruit. Our room was very small but adequate. The hotel could do with updating as it looked worn in parts

The apartments are well decorated and designed, very modern and sleek. The complex is very much a work in progress and therefore works start in the morning from 8am. This could be disturbing, as the noise does travel. The photos of the communal spaces were not accurate for the building we were in, these looked like the opposite building, not sure if we did or didn't have access, as we never tried our fobs there. Please note that parking can be purchased via Ringo app for £6 per 12 hours. So no need to book and pay in advance, as the apartments suggested we did. The service level was good, although we booked a 2 bedroom and received a message a few days before check in to offer a refund or two 1 bedroom apartments, as the apartment we booked was unavailable due to emergency maintenance. Again, this was communicated and we agreed to take the 2 apartments, as we had plans for our trip. Overall I would stay again, although it is a fair distance from the pier, so would again need to drive.

The breakfast this morning was very poor but the room was good the entertainment was brilliant.
