I stayed in a family room with suite room (204). The lay out was fab as had a sectioned off area where the kids slept. The rooms were clean, modern with tv, fridge, kettle, hairdreyer, gorgeous bathroom. It had lovely windows over looking some of the park which my child loved. It’s situated 2 min walk from Park and Hex complex has shops and restaurants and a mini golf. I didn’t use it but there is a kitchen on the floor we stayed on with microwave, fridge and other amenities , fab idea. We visited the Wildlife park next day which was just a beautiful place to walk around and the animals had so much space their enclosures were huge. It had play areas too. We spent just over 5 hours there. All enjoyed the stay.

Ample parking available with EV charge points, 7.4Kw, fair price for overnight charging. I would not normally stay in this kind of hotel when traveling on business, however I was VERY surprised, Check-in was quick & easy, reception staff welcoming room was clean & tidy while overlooking the wolf enclosure nice touch, room had a small fridge to keep drinks etc. I checked in late & only just made it to the restaurant before last food orders, the staff were extremely helpful & accommodating due to my lateness, food was of a high standard & well priced. I would stay again.

We had a room with a balcony and it was roomy and modern. We were really impressed with how family friendly this hotel is, on each floor of the hotel there is a landing with a kitchen that has a microwave, bottle warmer, sink and ice dispenser. The rooms were really clean and the restaurants were lovely. Would definitely return!

Brilliant stay at the HEX. Perfect location for the wild life park, onsite just 1 min from the entrance. Car park was a 2-3 min walk too. Really convenient for the restaurant, bar, cafe and shops. So much to do. Really new resort and really well thought out. Everything seemed so clean and new. We went with friends and it was so practical for meeting up after freshening up between park and evening. Great food at the immersive restaurant. Very good cocktails also! Try and you’ll like. Bar staff very friendly and asked for feedback on their cocktails. Felt they have pride in their work and their creative special cocktails. Overall excellent stay and highly recommended. Will be going back in the summer as this was an end October trip and the summer should make it even better.

Brilliant place to stay. Plenty of parking and for us in particular the electric car charging facilities were very useful. We arrived late and the reception is seperate from the hotel itself but the staff made us welcome and directed to our room. The facilities are faultless. We stayed overlooking the zoo and watched the wolves in the morning for at least 30mins before breakfast. Dining is seperate but again very easy use. Definitely use this location again. Ours was a leisure visit but there were many business people use it too. Recommended.

The cleaniness of the room was average, the shelves in the bathroom had alot of dust on them and under the bed had alot of dust but overall, the room was lovely. There was an issue with the tele in room and within 10 minutes of reporting the issue, there were 2 guys who came to fix it. A great stay.

We paid for the breakfast it was not free as this review might suggest. Well worth the money, the whole place was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented. The staff at the restaurant/hotel/ wildlife park were polite, helpful nothing was too much trouble. The room was smallish but so very clean and bathroom was lovely and again very clean, plenty of tea coffee etc in rooms. I loved every minute of my stay.

The hotel is nice, love the family rooms with the bunk beds. However the reception is in a different building not ideal when the key stops working etc. The TV in the room wouldn’t work, bit frustrating when you’re travelling with kids. Also the upgraded rooms only just have a view of the park and the windows are small and do not open at all so you can’t hear anything! Could do with a hotel guests lounge or patio area with a park view. Guest services left us a nice touch as it was mine and my sons birthday, which was very thoughtful and much appreciated.

Check-in is chaos, with people queuing in the reception area, and some people's rooms still not ready at stated check-in times. Suite rooms dont quite overlook the animals as billed, but you do get a cracking view of the park. The suites are basically furnished, but spacious and have pretty much everything you need for a comfortable stay. Bathroom area is huge and shower is nice and powerful. You hear quite a lot of noise from other rooms - children running up and down corridors - but then it's obviously more set up for families than couples.

We weren't late down 8am (served 7-10.30) The first time we chalked it up to how busy it was but this time it wasnt and it was still stone cold. And dont use the vending machine it charged me for 2 extra items i didn't have 🙈 (joys of technology) but I cant fault the lovely staff, the room, cleanliness of the hotel or anything else at all its perfect and we will definitely be back a third time before the year ends :)

The greeting I received from the front desk was very welcoming and friendly and the location was amazing. The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. I travel a lot and can honestly say its the best in room tea and coffee I have had for a long time. I left before breakfast was served but will definitely be staying here again as I'm sure it will also be amazing.

A superb weekend stay. The hotel is perfect it is clean, smart and the staff are very attentive. The breakfast was very good with lots of choice and being a buffet there was no excuse not to have enough of everything. Obviously being next to the Yorkshire Wild Life Park means it’s a bit isolated but that is expected. The one slightly negative is the parkside view. Yes it is a parkside view rather than looking at the car park but don’t expect to see very much in terms of animals.

The check in was quite far from the car park (not easy with little ones and bags) but the staff were very helpful and friendly. Its then another walk to the actual hotel (again, with bags, kids and rain not the easiest) The room was small but very clean, modern and had good amenities. The bunk beds were interesting and not that suitable for young children, but all beds were comfortable. Would rather the option for single beds rather than bunks, but we would stay again.

Booked the Hex Hotel as a stop over before head further south. Found the place easily and parked just a short walk to the reception which is seperate form the main hotel. Check in was easy and quick then another short walk through a variety of shops to the hotel. room was clean and comfortable a bit cold when i first went in but soon warmed up using the temp control. Ate in the wilds café bistro. enjoying a starter of warm goats cheese salad followed by beef burger with bacon and cheese. Both were delicious. bar staff were friendly and welcoming . When i got back to my room was unable to work the TV but was not too fussed so never bothered to get any assistance. . sleep well and breakfast in the Bistro was a great start to the day good selection on offer. hoping to stay next time i am in the area. hope to get a room that looks on to the park as i was facing he shops and big wheel :-)

Although choosing an accessible room, access to the hotel building is only accessible from the distant disabled or residents car park. One of our party has mobility issues, and the distance was too far to walk. Luckily we could borrow a wheelchair.

Loved our stay at this great hotel. OK maybe only of interest if you are visiting the Wildlife Park, but for that it's hard to beat. Checked the reviews and the only thing that kept coming up was the loudness of the extractor fan - we thought 'really'! But they are very loud! Staff were great, air-con silent and effective. Food a little limited, but clearly aimed at families and pretty much as we expected
