The bed was super comfy and the tv was massive!
Nothing
Room very modern and clean
No biscuits
Shuttle from the terminal. Great location. On the bus route if you have time to kill in Crawley. Restaurant meals and the breakfast were excellent. Surprisingly quiet for the location
Rien
Extrêmement bruyant Très cher pour rien Même pas confortable chambre petite impossible d’ouvrir la fenêtre .
Airport shuttle expensive and not particularly convenient for early morning flight
Couldn’t open the window for fresh air
HABITACIÓN LIMPIA Y SILENCIOSA.
Great value for the quality of the room.
The parking
Clean, easy to navigate, good value for money, nice shower, good shuttle service and info provided to get airport, helpful staff
There was supposed to be some food available 24hr, but when we arrived there was none to offer, which was a shame as we were quite hungry from a long day of travelling.
Clean, modern with a bit of a personal touch. Staff are the best
Very good hotel with restaurant, parking, bus for the airport. Nice and professional people. The rooms are very confortable. The small Fiat 500 inside the restaurant is very nice!
Excellent location for the airport. Staff very helpful and friendly.
Car parking charged at £15.00. This was not made known when booking. It should be free for guests. Also spaces exceptionally small, difficult to park a larger car.
Room had everything, vibe was good well decorated and fab location for airport
Parking is tight and could be cheaper
Great location close to supermarkets.
Needs better soundproofing, road noise very loud. Have stayed in an ibis at Heathrow & couldn't hear any road or airport noise.
Clean and well-maintained room. Great location (under 10 mins to the airport) with a supermarket nearby. Good food at the hotel restaurant Large and very comfortable bed.
Severe lack of room storage (no wardrobe, only a wall mesh with a few hangers). Insufficient bathroom storage/shelving for toiletries.
Excellent stay,
Car park has limited parking. We arrived at 9 and there were no spaces left so had to park up the road in the premiere inn designated space then walk 5 mins down the road. Also at a cost of £15 did not think this was very secure overnight parking.
It was clean and renovated to modern needs.
I think it just needs at least a small space where you’d have an iron board and such.
Perfect All were better
Located in a good environment. The staff are very friendly.
Ease to get to, very clean and helpful staff
Room was very spacious and clean. wWe enjoyed the decor and for being so close to the airport, the room was very quiet. Beds were luxurious.
Staffing seemed too sparse.
Comfortable room with good facilities, very good breakfast. Check in staff member helpful and friendly. Very pleased.
Nothing to improve upon in my view. Very happy with the stay.
The rooms are spacious and comfy.
The light of the room was too dim and not bright. They can change to more brighter light.
Great service
thought it expensive but was stranded with the plane trouble
Conveniently located and comfortable and modern.
Взагалі дуже задоволений тим що все було дуже зручно персонал привітний навіть дозволили чашку безкоштовного кави взяти що дуже порадувала і залишатися стільки скільки необхідно
Beautifully appointed room, very large bathroom and comfortable bed. Free shuttle to the airport which is a close walk.
The woman at breakfast said I wasn’t booked io and eventually found me. Was a bit awkward.
BEDS WERE COMFORTABLE
The Food was very MEDIOCRE complaint about part of my food which was Rectified but still poor quality need to try Harder .
Good location
Lights in the room automatically came on every 30 minutes meaning we did not get any sleep
Everything was good especially the staff
Shuttle bus was a bit over crowded
All in all the hotel was exceptional and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Easy access from the airport especially after a delayed flight meant we couldn’t drive all the way home safely.
N/a
Clean neat, had everything I needed.
There was no Southern Comfort at the bar
The hotel is clean, room design practical and fully functional. The airport shuttle bus link an added bonus. I will definitely book to stay again when flying from Gatwick airport.
Dinner was very nice good choice and allergies taken into consideration.
Adjusted air conditioning but still seemed hot in the room
Room was adequate for my short stay. Quirky wardrobe. Close to Gatwick Airport and shopping centre. 30 min train ride to Brighton Beach.
As an Australian I miss not having a fridge to put water or drinks in, especially in summer. Pepperoni pizza , medium plate size, cut into quarters with 3 pieces of pepperoni on each quarter!!! And expensive. Paid extra for full coverage and this one was much better!
Very close to Gatwick - a few minutes on local buses from South Terminal (4, 5, 100 Southbound). Extremely clean and quiet rooms/sleeping area, but a lively bar and restaurant downstairs. Helpful professional staff. Lots of design features, pictures on walls etc.
I like it all.
Staff were responsive via email and within a timely manner. My flight was delayed and they were happy to accommodate. Reception and Catering staff in the morning were cheerful, happy to help and nothing was too much for them.
Everything was beyond my expectations.
Excellent location lovely clean rooms food was lovely and staff extremley helpful
Nothing
Not far from airport
Parking should be included.
Close to Gatwick Airport but far from Downtown Crawley (approx a 40 mins walk). Shuttle to Gatwick Apt stops directly and even in very early hours.
Far from Downtown Crawley. No guarded room for luggage if you cant check-in on arrival. Storage possible in public space near bar, not sure if staff is interested to care about.
Location is incredible when having a flight the next day/early morning
The property is located close to the airport and its very clean
I did like everything
Very clean room
The room was too small
It was very difficult to reach a customer service officer at reception. When I finally did, I was given an email address to write to with my query. I did not receive a response. I also went through Booking.com who contacted the hotel direct, but no-one from the reception at the hotel advised us the issue had been resolved. Consequently I spent around 5 hours in total trying to resolve the issue!
Perfect for our one night stay close to the airport.
Lovely modern rooms.
Beds were quite hard
Air conditioning, the blinds and the room was comfy.
Beds, air conditioning, breakfast.
Nothing to report.
Nous avons un chien guide en formation, et l'hôtel a refusé de le prendre en charge (£20). Nous offrons une année pour nous occuper de ce chien, alors je considère un peu pingre de nous avoir demandé de payer pour ce futur chien guide.
Ontbijt prima en ook keuze van menukaart voor avondeten, eten was goed. Kamer prima maar koffer kun je niet echt kwijt
Aantal parkeerplaatsen is zeer beperkt en zijn erg klein, daarnaast moet je daarvoor extra betalen (kom je pas achter bij inchecken). Kamer net te klein om je bagage/koffers ook kwijt te kunnen
Hotel modern molt a prop de la terminal sud de l’aeroport de Gatwick, que és el que necessitàvem. Molt net.
La nostra habitació una mica petita però habitable
The Reception staff were very welcoming and helpful. Hospitality staff were exceptional and very helpful. Especially Steven snd Jessica. Thank you
Easy to get to from the airport. Very clean and well laid out.
Great location Shuttle bus Continental/cooked breakfast Good staff
Beds were uncomfortable
Todo. Gran hotel
Nada
Had a very short stay - arriving late evening for an early flight the next day so not able to sample breakfast etc. Decor in reception / eating area was so inviting - not the usual bland look. Storage in rooms cleverly designed for people like us having a quick stopover. Very good - definitely use again.
Nothing
Hotel molto confortevole e vicinissimo all'aeroporto, a 6 min di auto. Non siamo riusciti a prendere la navetta ma abbiamo chiamato un taxi dalla struttura. Camere spaziose e pulite, buona e varia la colazione.
Aggiungerei le fette biscottate a colazione
Perfect spot for an early flight from Gatwick.
Clean, close to Gatwick (there’s a handy shuttle service and taxis), lovely people working there, and good food (we had breakfast and lounge food). Not much immediately around the hotel but a bus is close outside to bring you to an area with more options. Has laundry service options but also has a handy washer/dryer you can do your own laundry in (for a small fee).
De kamer was eenvoudig, het bed goed en het sanitair uitstekend.
De garage was overvol op de dag van äankomst, de parkeervakken te klein voor de auto's van nu.
Muy limpio, silencioso y tranquilo. Calidad de 10
The view from the window was fantastic 100% saw the tower light up every night fantastic
A safe needs to be put in the room or rooms ,nowhere to put your passports or anything you need to keep safe ,it is much safer to put your valuables in the safe than have to carry them around with you.
Very clean ,rooms very nice and staff excellent
Clean, great use of space, great food. Waiter in the restaurant was fabulous.
At check-in, the desk clerk could not find our reservations. Luckily I had printouts with the reservation numbers. Also, we know we were early and were told our rooms weren’t ready. Yet, some guests paid an extra 20 pounds for early check-in so the rooms were indeed ready. By 2pm we were all checked in with some paying the early check-in fee and others not. We had 5 rooms for our group.
The room was very clean . There was a shuttle to the airport and the restaurant was open late which was useful for our evening arrival. The food was good. We left before breakfast started.
We could not get the shower to run above lukewarm which was a shame.
Close to the airport, great air conditioning, black out blinds, clean, comfy, nice staff. A great night's sleep. We took the bus over, which is a quick ride for only a couple pounds.
Camera piccola ma curata, va bene per una notte vicino all’aeroporto.
Il servizio navetta non è gratuito, il percorso dall’hotel all’aeroporto in navetta è di 30 minuti perché copre più alberghi. Meglio per chi viaggia con la propria auto, altrimenti conviene scegliere una struttura davvero vicina all’aeroporto e ben collegata.
Lovely modern and clean room. Meals were nice. Missed not having refrigerator in the room, for water and private purchases. Close to train and Brighton Beach excursion and Crawley shopping centre.
Super helpful location for a late flight transit. Clean, great amenities and helpful staff.
Only got to stay there for a few hours sleep unfortunately, couldn't take advantage of everything on offer!
Nothing
Room size, zero closets, zero microwave, zero refrigerator
The design of bedrooms, proper black out curtains, and the air conditioning.
£15 parking permit night is extortionate
Great room, bed was good only lacking a fridge
Having to get a bus
Clean n comfortable and modern room. Easy to the airport
Restaurant wanted to close early Clearly understaffed
We ate in the bar it was well priced and nice
Nothing
Everything was very good from the room to dinner to breakfast can't complain especially I had many gluten free options at dinner and breakfast
Nothing
Very clean and convenient
No hot water in the morning for wash or shower
Close to Gatwick, the local bus route was a cheaper alternative to a shuttle to the airport to catch our early flight. The hotel lobby was modern and very clean. The restaurant served good food, although the service was a little slow. The room had good amenities and comfortable and clean beds.
The service was a bit slow at the bar and restaurant, and there weren't any alternative places to eat within walking distance of the hotel.
Muhammad was an absolute delight and incredibly friendly and helpful when we checked in super late at 11pm - would recommend the service any day!
Absolutely delightful service, Mohammed made our check-in comfortably quick and easy, a true master of his craft in both hospitality and bartending, the room was of adequate size, clean and tidy and very cozy, all round great reception and accommodation, definitely recommendable
Location
No complaints
Clean, comfortable and convenient
We likey !! Rock is back ... CHEERS
Chambre très bruyante, bruits de route etde voiture incessants, impossibilité d’aérer la chambre en ouvrant la fenêtre, elle est condamnée par sécurité. nous n’avons pratiquement pas dormi de la nuit, nous ne retournerons pas dans cet hôtel malgré l’accueil agréable du personnel.
Doubler les vitrages et faire en sorte qu’on puisse aérer un minimum cette chambre qui est très poussiéreuse.
Only ate dinner here as the dining option at the Premier Inn (next door) was closed for refurbishment. Extremely well looked after by Neil Barlow, their Deputy General Manager, who was most courteous and efficient, and who demonstrated great commercial acumen in suggesting we make contact with the hotel regarding price-match on accommodation when next staying in the area. This we will certainly do, particularly as the public areas here are very clean indeed.
The room was clean and everything we needed for a 24hr stay.
Spotlessly clean room, dog friendly, staff fantastic and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
All the staff work together and are happy, the customer feels the good vibes
We like everything
Very convenient for early flights from Gatwick. Also many retail facilities nearby such as eateries.
Easy access
N/A
Excellent customer service from front desk/kitchen/bar staff Good food (only ate there once) Easy use of shuttle and taxi services right from the hotel lobby/front patio Able to make adjustments to our room situation when problems arose Always willing to fill my husband's ice container (huge convenience for him)
El lugar es tal cual lo publican, tiene todo lo necesario y el personal muy amable, además que el servicio de transporte al aeropuerto es económico
Clean functional hotel for a one night stay. Food was good, helpful staff.
Simple, clean, good value for money
Location is not as close to gatwick, you have to take a bus or a taxi to the airport which adds time and costs
Gutes Bett
Misleading information advertise on booking.com website regarding airport shuttle and noise from the busy highway all night long.
Cean, comfortable room. Hotel in good position, good parking.
Breakfast was shockingly poor - inedible. So bad, for the second morning I bought breakfast in another hotel.
Very clean. Air conditioned!
Breakfast was too expensive.
Annette,Daniel,Anita bon personel go hôtel, very expérimenté personel,they help ours for rules problème with booking. Thank's yours very much for your good compétent. Elle mérite une médaille ver patiente. Marie Reverchon
Short stay waiting on flight, muhammad was so warm and welcoming and made our experience easy and pleasant!
This hotel is perfectly located right beside the airport, making it convenient for travellers. The room was clean and well kept, and the overall atmosphere of the place is warm and pleasant. We had a nice relaxing time here in the evening. It offers great value for an overnight stay near the airport. I would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable transit hotel.
