What guests think
At Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central, reviewers consistently highlight its handy location for early flights and short stopovers, noting generally fair value and simple, functional rooms suited for a night before or after travel.
Many praise breakfast and occasionally note spacious or quiet rooms, but service feedback ranges from friendly to frustrating. Common drawbacks are the paid airport shuttle with occasional waits, charges for WiFi, and basic in room amenities, with some reports of heating or air conditioning issues. Cleanliness and upkeep are mixed, from very clean stays to stained carpets and odors. Expect a no frills, convenient airport stopover.

FREE WIFI IS NOT FREE!? ITS 3POUND Hotel did not leave info regarding transfer from Airport they offer... a Taxi driver asked us why we called him and not use their shuttle. Long day of travelling from Canada... excited to shower after the plane rides... get to hotel and NO SHAMPOO OR SOAP. dispenser was empty. Went to front desk and they gave us a plastic cup of green liquid.... turns out it was a foam dish soap!? Smelt like cleaning fluid. Dissapointing.

Be ready ro pay for everything, WiFi free only for 30 minutes per day, otherwise you have to pay for it. Only one type of soap to shower, bring tour own products and if you're driving be ready to pay extra per day. The breakfast was good, but then again it's not included with your reservation

30 minutes of free wifi? Who doesn't offer free wifi these days when you're staying with them?! No phone in the room? Couldn't ring to let them know the heating/a/c unit on the wall that had to be turned on as the room was freezing, was so loud. Isn't a phone mandatory? Safety requirement? Breakfast was awful.... Closeness to the airport was convenient, but not even a complimentary shuttle. Overall, worst of the 5 hotels we stayed at during our 2 week holiday and would not recommend.

The hotel had several shortcomings during our stay. Firstly, they charged for internet access. There was no fridge in the room, and the air conditioning unit made such a loud noise that we had to turn it off. Additionally, the room lacked any furniture other than the bed. The television was very small, and only one towel was provided for two guests. The hot water barely worked, and there was no explanation given about the availability of a shuttle service to the airport, which also came at an additional cost. Being from Canada, I am accustomed to these amenities being complimentary.

The staff were rude and not helpful. The property is very misleading calling a room “Double Room” and it’s very small with a possible double bed that the staff called a “king bed”. Don’t even have included shuttle to the airport, you have to pay £4.50 per person. The room was far and had to take stairs without an elevator available. Horrible experience overall.

Overall I enjoyed my 3 night stay. Breakfast was included and there were sufficient options. However, the quality of some items were inconsistent. Whilst the room was comfortable, the carpet needs cleaning and a little more attention to cleaning bathroom doors and other overlooked surfaces. I was disappointed that there was no mini fridge in the room.

Separate complaint will be sent to Travelodge. Booked in early for £10.00 only to be shown to a room that smelled of smoke/we think old and in the furnishings, carpet was terribly stained , dirty and not hoovered. Hair in bathroom floor and built up dirt all around bathroom floor edges. Both mirrors in the room unclean. Window sill dirty. We had stayed here on our arrival at Gatwick airport as well and when we asked the reception person on to call us a taxi a very unsafe situation occurred which has been since reported and met with indifference by that at same person when we returned 6 weeks later. The only positive thing to say is that the cafe/ bar staff appear to work hard trying to keep a very run down space clean. It is not their fault seats are ripped, paint is off the walls and management seems uncaring. Never again!!!

I arrived at midnight, very tired I’d been awake since 5AM. Door key/card didn’t work, had return to lobby. Second key card didn’t work, I had to insert multiple times finally it worked. I was almost in tears. I had to get up at 4:30AM. Carpet inside room badly stained. Furniture was spartan. Room had strange odor. Bathroom was clean, but modular shower insert very slippery inside—be careful like the sign says. I ordered taxi for 5AM and it was 15 minutes late, and arrived 10 minutes after inquiring a second time. Service at desk mediocre, inattentive. Overpriced even for location. For a motel chain this was a disappointment. I wish I stayed at one of the mom and pop type places I also found listed nearby. I almost never fill these out. So maybe people only post bad reviews and those with good experiences don’t post. I may skew the rating negative and I apologize—it’s just that my experience was less than underwhelming.

When we first arrived, the first room we were given wasn't cleaned well, so we were moved to another room 2 floors up. That one was clean, the only issue we were having is that we had no way to turn on the airconditioning and were too tired to go and ask at the reception for the night. So when you go into this hotel, you'll be greeted by polite and professional reception staff. You'll definitely enjoy your night here as the room's pretty spacious. Going downstairs to their restaurant we enjoyed the pizza & pepsi we ordered which was decently priced.

booked into an occupied room (eventually this came out), dealt with by checking my booking-denial of my booking, Expedia chat helped out- Expedia rang, sent to same occupied room, another room found after I mentioned I was flying to Australia the next day and I was upgraded. A bit of an unnecessary run around. I think the hotel was overbooked for the type of booking, I was willing t0 pay to be upgraded but the reception staff just said they were booked out, a manager was more helpful and the phone call from Expedia helped.

The front desk manager felt the need to argue with us over whether or not breakfast was included. We paid for breakfast (through Expedia) displayed the paperwork and the manager proceeded to say she's not responsible for what a third party lists. She did not want to give us free breakfast but after arguing with her she sighed and said she would let us have breakfast. Terrible customer service. Terrible attitude. I would NEVER stay here again.

Hotel is a 5 minute drive AWAY FROM AIRPORT. Limited transportation. Airport bus is up to 8 euros one way. Taxi is b/n 17-30 euros each way. Breakfast is questionably free with limited food containing bagel (only butter/jam), bacon, sausage, cereal. Allows late checkin with friendly staff. Checkout 12pm which was very nice.

Overall I enjoyed my 3 night stay. Breakfast was included and there were sufficient options. However, the quality of some items were inconsistent. Whilst the room was comfortable, the carpet needs cleaning and a little more attention to cleaning bathroom doors and other overlooked surfaces. I was disappointed that there was no mini fridge in the room.

Well situated with friendly staff and a good value breakfast buffet, but my room wasn't as clean as I would have liked.

30 minutes of free wifi? Who doesn't offer free wifi these days when you're staying with them?! No phone in the room? Couldn't ring to let them know the heating/a/c unit on the wall that had to be turned on as the room was freezing, was so loud. Isn't a phone mandatory? Safety requirement? Breakfast was awful.... Closeness to the airport was convenient, but not even a complimentary shuttle. Overall, worst of the 5 hotels we stayed at during our 2 week holiday and would not recommend.

It all worked out well, being convenient for the airport with an excellent bus service. Good cafe-style restaurant. Not top of the range but good value for money

When we first arrived, the first room we were given wasn't cleaned well, so we were moved to another room 2 floors up. That one was clean, the only issue we were having is that we had no way to turn on the airconditioning and were too tired to go and ask at the reception for the night. So when you go into this hotel, you'll be greeted by polite and professional reception staff. You'll definitely enjoy your night here as the room's pretty spacious. Going downstairs to their restaurant we enjoyed the pizza & pepsi we ordered which was decently priced.

I loved this hotel very much. The room was incredibly spacious, the bed was massive and the bathroom was a great size too. The bar was well priced, service was good and the food was fantastic. I will most certainly stay here again if I am travelling through Gatwick.

One night stay before a flight. Room was fine, all basics but comfortable with a breakfast in the morning!

The rooms are very sparse, no hair dryer, no drinking glasses in the room. No free wi fi, bar staff could not open a bottle of wine as they could not find opener. Nowhere to put our cases on, has to leave on floor.
