Handy location to recover after flying into Gatwick, one short train ride away.
Getting to/from there on foot from the train station is not obvious.
Very business-oriented hotel. Same place that the crew on my flight from the US stayed at (I encountered my stewardess and pilot there). Nice little rooms, reasonable price. WiFi and breakfast are additional costs.

Close to the airport.
For not much more you can just stay at the Sofitel, same chain and its in the terminal.
Great location if you have time to catch the train into the hotel. Only 2.5 GBP for the train but you have to allow time to get to the platform and get a ticket.

Terrifically friendly staff.
It's Crawley--not particularly charming or close to Gatwick.
Very clean, modern hotel with a quite helpful staff. A true 4-star experience.

It was very modern, clean and comfortable.
The shower head placement (directly overhead) was not to my preference.
I thought this hotel was fantastic overall. The staff was friendly; the room was very nice and quite high-tech (which was cool).

Great room, courteous staff.
Shuttle to Gatwick only once an hour.
Excellent 4* hotel, close to Gatwick. However, shuttle only runs once an hour. From Gatwick, easy to take train 2 stops to crawly, walk north along the platform (i.e. Walk backwards), then ring bell to get access to hotel.

New, modern very comfortable hotel. Staff were friendly.
Location , Location, Location , too far away from LGW, too hard to get to.
I would not class this property as an Airport Hotel or 4 Stars. My problem was with the hotel. There is no shuttle service from the airport. The small van they have has to be precooked once you are at Gatwick and runs on once per hour! The van also stops at 10pm. I came out from London at midnight on the Gatwick Express and had to buy another train ticket to Crawley and wait 40 minutes on a empty train platform. At Crawley I was on an open platform at 1AM in the rain with 2 suitcases. There are no trolleys or porters only stairs. At that point I could see the hotel, but there are no signs on how to get there to a small gate at the very end of the train platform. The next day, the van returning to Gatwick is on a first come basis and was already booked. It is a $30 cab ride to get back to the airport. read more

Location.
Had to wait ONE HOUR for the shuttle to the hotel. Also, their number is not listed on the Shuttle Board, so we could not call them.
It's beautiful and perfect for travelers out of Gatwick.
