For the price it was very good and the curries were delicious

Good location very clean and polite staff
The food was excellent in the evening as it was fresh cooked Indian/bangladesh curries
Just be aware no alcohol is served on premises but there is a petrol station 5 mins away and no corkage is charged

Cons:

Breakfast was basic and a second pillow on the bed would have bee nice

It was very good value for money, but I might try somewhere else next to time.
Pros:

Clean, accommodating and close to airport.

Cons:

Very noisy, with the main road outside the bedroom window and a constant water fountain too. Breakfast, included, was a poor continental offering.

Ok hotell nära flygplatsen
Pros:

Bra läge, nära flygplatsen. OK frukost med havregryn och variation på sylt och flingor. Shuttle till flygplatsen för 10£.

Cons:

Duschen var så trång att man knappt kunde komma in. Sängen var rätt liten för en lång person som jag. Oerhört varmt på sommaren, men fläkt finns och man kunde öppna fönstren.

Bed bugs- would not stay here again.
Pros:

The proximity to Gatwick was good. The staff seemed pleasant.

Cons:

I got bitten by bed bugs from head to toe from staying at this hotel right before going on holiday. It did not feel very clean and this proved it.

Horrible stay!
Cons:

The room was filthy! Dust in every corner of the carpet. Which made me not want to eat there. No soap in the bathroom or shampoo or hair conditioner and the taps leaked on a very busy corner. I discovered there was a Holiday Inn just up the road. Even though I booked a shuttle before I left Spain none was at the airport, nor did the hotel answer their phone. I ended up spending $40 Cdn. to be taken less than 5 kms to their motel and nope $10 pounds prepaid on arrival to get back to the airport! Never again!

Bra billigt hotell
Pros:

Nära Gatwick flygplats. Bra pris när man bara egentligen ska sova. Väldigt billigt.
De ordnade shuttle till flygplatsen 10pund för 1 person och 15 pund för 2-4personer.
Ca 7min att gå in till Horley och där fanns butiker och restauranger, mysig stad. 2 min att gå till busshållplats för att sen ta tåg från Gatwick om man vill åka in i London.
Frukost kl 05-09 vilket är bra om man flyger tidigt.

Cons:

Inget mer än marmelad till pålägg på smörgås. Men fanns yoghurt, bröd, smör, marmelad, flingor och mjölk.
Samt olika bakverk.
Väldigt hård säng. Fanns bara 2 uttag att ladda i.
