La chambre était minuscule dans un sous-sol avec une forte odeur d’humidité. Le matelas était pas mal usé, mais la propreté de la chambre et de la salle de bain étaient correctes
Un endroit seulement pour un court arrêt avant l’aéroport, mais bien situé pour prendre l’autobus et se rendre directement à l’aéroport

Excellent time
We used this for one night between Devon and flight to Prague. Brilliant. So clean, tidy and efficient. Everything we needed. Close to town centre for walk, beer or food. So close to brilliant bus service to Gatwick. Just right👍

Stayed before and was very good. This time would rate as excellent. Arrived early by train but we were greeted in a friendly manner. We left our luggage safely while we went for lunch with our room key, although we were told our room would be ready in 10 minutes. The room was recently refurbished and was very clean with a king size comfy bed and good shower. We had a problem with the lock on our suitcase and Krunal was brilliant in solving our problem. Would not hesitate to stay again in future. Although, they don't do meals, you can eat takeaways etc in the dining areas.

2 night stay
Hotel is just 5 min drive from Gatwick which was great. Room quite small but fine for just me for a couple of nights stay. Furnishings a bit out dated but clean enough. Bed was comfy.
£5 fee to park per day which is reasonable. Would use again

I arrived really late, but luckily they have an option to manage that. But unfortunately the room had a really bad musty/cheesey feet smell. I also left before reception opened so I was not able to discuss it with anyone. My room was top of the stairs second door on the left. Besides that it was clean.

Very easy to get to by bus from Gatwick station or short walk from Horley station. Nice pub and Horley town walkable for food and drink. Clean, quiet, comfortable rooms, staff helpful and lots of advice before we arrived for how to get there, parking options, taxis to Gatwick etc. Well priced for accommodation convenient for Gatwick.
