Sofitel London Gatwick

very comfortable!!

A++++

NIce hotel, but definitely some flaws...

The situation at Gatwick airport is pretty brutal. We landed in the South terminal, had to take a bus to the North terminal. Ok, this was reasonable for any airport hotel, but then we had to haul our three bags each quite a long distance outside to the hotel. I must admit, once at the hotel, things ran rather smoothly and the service was fine. Also the next morning they had a coach to take people directly to the south terminal b/c of all the inconveniences they are experiencing with the construction projects. I would say this feature should be permanent and charging people 2 pounds for the trip seemed silly as hell. It is the problem of the airport and the hotel, not the customers. But, if you are going to do some traveling and do not want the hassle of leaving the airport, it was definitely the best option.

Great Airport Hotel

I loved this hotel! It is so wonderfully comfortable, clean and luxurious. A great hotel right at the Gatwick airport. I was able to get up early and head right to the terminal for my flight. It is not a hotel you'd want to stay in for a trip to central London. The tunnel from the terminal is under construction. So finding the route to the lobby was a bit confusing. But I'd highly recommend this hotel for anyone needing a place to stay at Gatwick.

Convenient Hotel

Very convenient, comfortable room

Good hotel in great airport location but construction is a negative

We stayed at the Sofitel before an early morning departure from Gatwick. Construction has resulted in closure of the skybridge connecting it to Gatwick so it is less convenient than normal. It is still possible to walk to the North terminal by going outside and crossing a busy street. We found the staff to be very courteous and efficient. Seating capacity in the hotel's three restaurants is limited when the hotel is full; we could not be seated util 9:30 p.m. It is safest to reserve a table in advance.

Sofitel overnight recovery from a 12-day cruise

This was a spacious, affordably priced room to rest up prior to a long international flight the following day. The room had a large window that allowed in much light and added to the clean, pleasant ambiance of the location. The beds were particularly comfortable.

superstar

We stayed in this hotel at London Gatwick just as a convenience before flying home to the US the next morning, and we are pleasantly surprised. The whole facility and its staff were very impressive. It had good restaurants, which is a major plus in an airport setting. The staff was professional and helpful, and I would certainly pick this one again. Also, the rate was an excellent value.

Luxury and size

After 3 weeks of tiny bathrooms in England, and showers and tubs, I could barely fit into, the size of the bathroom and its amenities was a treat. Wonderful kingsized bed with fabulous duvet. Great meal downstairs, was very quiet though at an airport. Highly recommended.

lovely and super convenient

The hotel was clean, new, showers were a dream.Very convenient for access to the North Terminal. The Cafe meal was surprisingly excellent. Perhaps my only two negative comments would be that the local telephone call rate is expensive and that the porter service seemed a little scant. This only mattered because I was pregnant and felt I would be better off with some assistance. However, for anyone in a normal physical state the short push to the terminal is practically effortless.I would definitely stay there again.
