Everything was above expectations, Exception 1: Business Center was unusable as computer screen would not turn on. Front desk subsequently said that to get my boarding pass I could email them and they would print it out. That's not what I wanted to do from my mobile phone. Exception 2: It could have been clearer, especially for an international traveler, on how to get to hotel via the Hoppa and where to pick it up. Once I experienced the how to, then it was a breeze to get to from hotel-airport. Consider sending a message (text or email) day before or on how to get to hotel. Everything els was excellent and I'll go there again.

Nice and convenient location. Parking expensive even though we didn’t say over 12 hours we had to pay the £20 rather than the £11. Room service is very expensive. My husband went to the bar to get drinks and take up (as the menu in the room said call us and we will tell you when it’s ready to collect so we just went straight to the bar without calling) and he was charged £5 by the waiter for “room service” even though he went downstairs himself and got 2 drinks. He didn’t even have a tray. No idea why he had to pay the £5. Bed comfortable Aircon good Would stay again

Front desk staff lady that handled my check in was beyond friendly, efficient and profesional. Restaurant has great options. Bar is open until 11 pm. Outside garden area with tables is a major plus and smoking allowed. Hotel is clean and very comfortable lobby/lounge. Hoppa bus runs every 15 min 24/7 which makes the short transport to Gatwick super convenient.

Amazing Hotel with 24/7 HOPA shuttle every 15 minutes to/from the front door of hotel for about $5 from Gatwick airport, At Gatwick airport, one can catch the metro, rail, or bus service. For international travelers, a better explanation as to where to pick up the HOPA shuttle upon first arrival would be very handy. The only negative was that the sole computer in the business center was not working and fron desk agent said I could email to them the boarding pass from my phone, which I wanted to avoid,

A very good choice if you are catching an early flight from Gatwick. Clean safe hotel. Quieter than expected Helpful staff. A large bar. There is a shuttle bus that runs about every 15 minutes 24/7 to th airport terminals for a small amount. There are also some takeout food options in the close vicinity if needed. Very good value for money.

Great one night stay at this airport prior to a long haul flight. Check in was smooth, dinner service was great, room was clean and spacious with all amenities working. Breakfast was standard continental with lots of options. Check out was simple and shuttle bus runs regularly to the airport for £4.50 single trip. We drove past a few other hotels in the area which looked much more run down and dirty than this one. Really pleased with our stay.

We were then moved to a different room which was slightly cleaner and only had two bugs buzzing around, a wasp and a fly. AVOID. The rooms are disgusting. Stains and filth everywhere. I can't imagine what the hotel rooms would look like under a blacklight...

What did I dislike, I had no hot water for a shower when arrived, the refrigerator in the room was inoperative, there was hair on the sheets the I went to get into bed and there is a large stain on the carpet near the bathroom door. Overall the room badly needed a refresh.

Great hotel and very reasonably priced considering its location. I asked for a quiet room on a high floor and that’s exactly what I got! Hotel is quite new and very clean with a good bar and outdoor area for a nice drink in the sunshine. Breakfast was delicious, fresh and hot and the restaurant clean and tidy with the very latest coffee and toast machines. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Checkout time is midday which is fantastic if you have an afternoon flight. Can’t fault it, definitely recommended for the price.

Our main complaint would be about service in the restaurant. Service was very slow and although staff were friendly, there were mistakes and omissions with the order, we had to ask for cutlery and it was hard to attract attention to get the bill. We had a 3 year-old with us who really needed to get to bed quickly after eating, so it was very frustrating.

The hotel was nice. The breakfast was very good. Location was perfect for our later arrival and ease to navigate. Overall, I would recommend the hotel. The only downside was when I checked in the individual who checked me and didn’t tell me much of anything. He basically handed me my room key and sent me on my way. So I didn’t know which direction to go for my room. I didn’t know what time breakfast hours were. I actually had to go back and ask him if my reservation had included breakfast. The room was pretty clean. It just needed a little bit more vacuuming and attention under the beds..

I booked as part of a medical emergency journey home and, as happens in that kind of situation, had to adjust plans. I reached out to the hotel within 24 hours of making the booking to plead for a cancellation fee waiver and they simply never responded. Hotels.com continued to do so on my behalf for several days too - nothing. Hard to imagine a stay under this management would be anything but austere. Good luck.

Most of the staff never smiled and clearly were annoyed whenever we interacted (e.g. registration, breakfast). In addition, there was only one towel in our room booked for 2 persons. And when we asked about help with the room safe, the reception said no one was available (instead we handed over our valuables at the reception where a safe was made available).
