Stayed the night as attending the evening party for a wedding. Reception staff very very helpful on arrival, did ask if I needed help with my cases to my room, as there is not lift, quite a long walk, as the hotel is like a series of wooden cabins, set around central corridors. I was situated on the first floor,... More

Booked to stay before a morning visit to the zoo. Inclusive dinner options were very limited. Staff in the restaurant tried hard but service was unfortunately poor - not knowing the menu components, waiting more than half an hour for our food, small portions so we had to fill up on bread, poor communication between staff, etc. Breakfast was very...

We stayed in room 407 for 3 days in May. The room was a little grubby and dark, the bathroom most definitely unclean with a urine smell. The bathroom floor was dirty and the soap holders disgustingly dirty underneath. Toilet was never bleached during our stay nor were soap remains removed from the holders. Two pillows each were provided but... More

We stayed at the Marwell Hotel for a wedding - but found it to be a disappointment. For the price paid, I was expecting a good 3* - ok 4* standard.
