Hotels near London Gatwick Airport - LGW, London

It was out of the way, but reasonably close to the airport, some flight noise, the room didn't have a window and wasn't given the choice of one,( if I had known I would not have booked it Staff very pleasant,food o.k and bed was comfy.

I was there because of a cancelled flight. This was the most uncomfortable hotel I have ever stayed in. It was clean but the room was very small with poor ventilation and the window was sealed shut. The bed was exceptionally uncomfortable because the sheets didn’t fit properly so kept moving in the night. The pillows were lumpy with no support. Temperature control was ineffective. There were no tea or coffee making facilities and only two small bottles of lukewarm water were supplied for drinking. The bathroom was very small and designed as a wet room. Because of its size, switching the shower on meant that the toilet, basin and any hanging towels also got soaked. The light switch is on a panel at the furthest point from the door so arriving late at night meant using the torch on my phone to find it. There was no desk space or anywhere to stow your suitcase. The hotel itself is not well signposted. Even in an emergency I wouldn’t stay there again. It’s overpriced for what it is.

Owner is clearly not right in the head. Tipped pure household bleach into hot tub and swimming pool which were frothing from the bleach. Dog excrement was around lawn area from owners own dog and was there the whole time we were staying there!! Police called and arrived numerous times over our 3 night stay due to unruly occupants who were threatening other occupiers and owner was oblivious to it all as off her head on drugs and alcohol. Numerous times woken at early hours of morning by other residents. Was told it was a "one off" but apparently not the case as this went on for whole 3 nights!!! We were just too tired to leave plus had already booked to go sightseeing in London on the Sunday and no doubt everywhere booked up asa Bank Holiday so no choice but to stay or loose more money from leaving. Police in end on early hours Bank Holiday Monday gave owner a caution for breach of the peace and would be arrested if she continued! Says another about the place if that's the owner getting that! Avoid this place at all costs what seems nice at first isn't always as it makes out!!!

Great to stay for the night before our flight so didn’t have to rush in the morning before the flight. The thing that spoils Gatwick as you’ve got rid of the shops before you go through customs and there is nothing to look round at

Nice small local shopping area with good parking, a pub and lots of people hanging out on a Friday evening. There's takeaway pizza, kebabs, fish and chips and Chinese all on a row. There's also at least three convenience stores a green grocer and a post office.

They advertised the hotel as being 3 miles outside Gatwick Airport - It was more like 30 miles! Not easy to get around as there is no facilities in the immediate area i.e. restaurants/bars. Bar closed early 10.30p.m. although advertised as closing at 11 p.m. even when people were still asking for drinks.
