HOTEL REVIEW: Shark Hotel (Cabins) – Thorpe Park

It’s been a few years since we last stayed in this hotel / cabin however, I thought I’d share our views from that stay. Since the last time we stayed they have changed the name to Shark Cabins instead of Hotel. We hope you enjoy this blog and find it somewhat useful.

Car Parking:

If you’ve ever visited Thorpe Park before which I’m sure many of you guys will have it’s the same car park as day guest. Except there’s a small space for hotel guest nearby disabled parking.

Value For Money:

When we used to stay at this hotel it was extremely affordable something along the lines of £70 for a night with merlin annual pass discount. However now the prices have increased a little bit and we no longer stay onsite. But we are hoping to change that this season if we can find a value night.

Benefits Of Staying / Access To The Park:

There’s plenty of benefits from staying onsite one of which is your actually in the park already basically. Just walk through the dome and your adventure awaits. Whilst staying in the hotel you get unlimited fast track until 11am which is a whole hour. If you plan ahead the rides you wish to use that on you will get the most of it. The last time we stayed the evening before a Merlin annual pass day we were given unlimited fast track for the entire day. You also get breakfast included. If your not a passholder you receive free entry tickets

Room:

By all means do not book this hotel or cabin expecting a lot of space as you don’t get a lot. However it is the perfect size for a night or two at maximum stay. The beds are extremely comfortable and hardly any difference from a premier inn. Each room comes with bunk beds, tv and shower. They used to pop smart water in the room too as you can’t drink from the taps of course.

Breakfast:

One of the better breakfast offerings we’ve had from any hotel. It’s unlimited which is really good as you can fill yourself up and not eat too much around the park. The food quality and quantity is perfect. There’s plenty on offer and you do get free juices and tea.

Overall:

It really does depend on the price your willing to pay to whether we’d recommend it. As we don’t like to pay too much for one night in an actual cabin size room we don’t stay often. However we would recommend staying there at least once if the price are below £100 for a night.
