Location is great, practically inside the airport north terminal. Accessible via a bridge, don't even need to leave the airport and crossing the street.Room were great, big comfy bed, plenty of sockets for charging devices. Big and bright toilet.Room service wasn't the best. Starting with not having a menu for choosing from. Not even online.I've ordered a basic Fungi pizza. The pizza came with bell peppers.

We stayed here for one night between flights and it has the most perfect location for Gatwick airport. Right outside the North terminal, so less than 5 mins walk. The rooms are small but perfect for a stopover. …

The room and complimentary amenities were excellent. The club lounge food options were a bit limited however the drink options and service by Alexandra were excellent. The window seats and views were great. The staff at the podium floor bar and breakfast restaurant were excellent. The breakfast options were great. The proximity to the terminal made it very easy to catch our early morning flight.

We had a fantastic stay! Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff were very friendly throughout. One standout moment was when they gave my son a colouring kit upon arrival — such a thoughtful touch that really made him happy.Our room had a great view of the runway, which was a fun bonus. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we all slept well. The hotel's proximity to the airport was unbeatable — we left our room and were in the departure lounge within 10 minutes.Overall, I couldn't fault the stay. Highly recommend if you're looking for comfort and convenience near the airport!

Excellent overnight stay before an early flight. Lovely meal and relaxing atmosphere.Staff were amazing particularly when we arrived in Rome and my husband discovered he had left his wallet in the room safe. It took just a phone call for it to be located and kept safe to be collected upon our return.

My stay at this hotel was only for one night after I arrived on a late flight. The dinner at one of the restaurants was fantastic, the staff were very helpful and kind, and even occasionally joked with us. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are nice and modern. The shower temperature was perfect, and the room was extremely clean. It has very good access to the airport terminal. Would stay again

Bed very comfortable and room very clean. Obviously a great location for the airport with covered walkway. Room was quiet, although you can hear some faint jet noise. The equivalent at Heathrow was completely silent.

The perfect place to stay prior to a Gatwick flight. A quality hotel in a brilliant location with excellent service. ||A special mention to Sam who greeted us on arrival, took care of our bags, and explained where we needed to drop our car. A really nice touch. Thank you.
