Was just okay
Hotel needs a bit of a spruce up. Pictures online don't look like the actual rooms on hotels.com. bathrooms looked beautiful in pictures but just very plan and basic in actual sight. Very dated.

Good hotel and good service
The hotel was very convenient to horley train station and gatwick airport. Being 1 stop away on the train to the terminal. I stayed in this hotel for 1 night as had early flight out from Gatwick. It was very clean and comfortable. Had everything you needed for a nights stay. Myself and my friend booked seperate rooms. Breakfast was provided at an additional cost although we didnt use this facility, so cant comment on the food side of things. But overall nice welcoming hotel and good price too. Will definitely recommend 👌 and will use again if flying from Gatwick.

Room 12 overnight.
A very good location for Gatwick Airport. Lots of amenities nearby. My only issue was no plug in the sink and the shower holder broken.

Great value
Great value stay. The hotel is within walking distance from the airport, but there’s also a bus or a train you can catch. The rooms were a little dated but were very clean and the staff were lovely.

Cozy and Quick Stay
Easy late check in, easy checkout. Gave me the options to head into town [about 10 min walking]. Quick uber drive to the airport. Airport to hotel was 25pounds and leaving was 12pounds. I needed 1 night to sleep. Small room but was all i needed. Bed could have been a bit comfier. Honestly, i needed a clean, cozy, safe, quick place and i was very pleased. I'd stay here again

Perfect and convenient for an early flight.
Really comfortable beds, basic comfort and amenties, friendly customer servicrle. The bathroom is a bit worn but functional. Great location 10 mins walk from train station for Thameslink and 2 mins walk for bus to Gatwick £3, great value for money.
