  • čas pƙidĂĄn 20. 02. 2023
  • This Hotel is right in the middle of Gatwick South Terminal!
    It's a short-stay hotel designed to give the very best of everything needed to sleep, shower and then jump on a flight! BUT are they any good?

    I have stayed in this hotel twice. Once in a windowless room (before my flight to florida), and one in a corner suite where the walls were all windows (straight after my wedding as we were flying to honeymoon the next morning). Both times were fantastic stays and really enjoyed my stays. I would stay here again.

    Hi Tim. I love the idea of staying in a hotel in the airport especially if you have an early morning flight . Arrive at the airport the day before stay in one the night before and you are ready to go the next day. No more waking up at 2 or 3 in the morning for a mad dash to airport. I think all airports should have hotels in them.
