Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a convenient location close to the airport, but bear in mind it's situated near the railway line at the back. The rooms are spacious and modern with a walk-in shower. The service is excellent, especially with room service available. However, there is a fee for the airport shuttle. The dining experience is delightful with delicious pastries offered. The facilities are top-notch, making for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is very close to Gatwick airport, making it super convenient, especially for late flights. However, the experience was slightly tarnished by a delayed taxi the next morning. The quick drive to the airport was a plus point.
I couldn't have asked for a better location - being so close to Gatwick airport was a lifesaver after a late flight. The hotel rooms were cozy and clean, although a bit basic. The hotel staff were helpful and welcoming, which made my stay pleasant. However, the lack of dining facilities on-site was a downside. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay at a reasonable price.
