Really enjoyed the overall visit, facilities were great, buffet was well organised! Unfortunately I did have someone next to me who had a child making a lot of noise so it did mean not much sleep, but would happily return! Staff were very friendly also!

Excellent value, limited amenities.

Room was nice, the hotel itself is themed amazingly. The main buffet was a bit of a scrum with huge lines but ultimately staff worked with urgency and got people through. Very much organised chaos. Reception were excellent, they had our room ready when we arrived at 9am and offered us a late checkout too. Proximity to the park is also a huge plus. For a four star hotel I would have expected more in room amenities, like a working extractor fan, amenity kits in the bathroom, a second pillow, but overall as a place to crash after a long day in the park it worked quite well.

One park closed and the other partially open

I booked this hotel mainly because park entrances were included, but to my surprise, only one of the two parks advertised (Ferrari Land) was open. Even the open park had maybe 15% of the attractions running. I understand it might be seasonal, but this should have been clearly disclosed at the time of booking, not something to find out after arriving.

Good hotel with direct access to park

Check in was slow as room wasn't ready even until about 4pm so we had to wait at the lobby for about an hour which was a bummer as we had rushed to end our half day tour by 3pm. Hard to figure out where our room was from the map as we had to head outdoors and identify the right building. Dinner timing is a little restrictive as need to prebook a timeot and it's difficult to get the time slot you want on the first day since those who stayed the night before would have done it way earlier. Direct park access was great though, so I would recommend still because of that.

Reception staff were not helpful at all, provided with a room with poor air condition I asked to be fix but nothing changed. requested for a taxi reservation and they inform me that they did the reservation, but they did not, and I ended up wasting 40 min waiting. the hotel serve a dinner which ends at 10 PM and after 10 there is no other food option but the bar which served only one type of sandwich on that night, tried to order food from outside but the hotel did not allow the driver to come in! their first justification was that the hotel policy don't allow ordering food from outside restaurants, because the hotel provides food and drink! then when I asked them so if I show up coming from outside with food would you stop me and not allow me to enter the hotel? they said no! they just did not have a proper justification for not allowing the driver to come in, I agreed to go to him myself but because of the heavy rain condition I asked for a golf cart to take me at the gate and of course they refused! the hotel has another strange policy, if you have the VIP reservation then you are allowed to enter the park at the day of your check in even prior checking in time which is at 3. but if you arrive before 3 you will be paying a luggage storage fees if you left your luggage with them to enjoy the VIP access! couldn't the hotel provide a luggage storage for VIP reservations! will never stay at the hotel again

The room was good but everything else ……..

When we were allocated the room at 4.30 pm we discovered that the room had not been cleaned. We finally received the room at 5.30 pm. The room was very nice, although no hot drink facilities - it was in the Callaghan Hotel. The food at the evening buffet was awful. The hotel was super crowded and chaotic - it felt more like a public space than a hotel.
