“gatwick north terminal hotel recommendation”
ideal for north terminal. A modern, stylish hotel with good restaurants, complimentary wifi in rooms
“Excellent Hotel”
Stayed here often before or after flights - always a pleasure. Couldn't fault it.
“Perfect Start To The Holiday”
We were greeted by Andrew on the Reception Desk and immediately we felt welcomed and treated very courteously. Everything I needed to know about the hotel he answered and helped me with. I was very impressed and would definitely stay there again.
“Hotel fine, pity about the signposting!”
This was my second time of staying at the Sofitel, Gatwick. it is ideal for an overnight stay between flights. Very restful. Food in restaurants is very good. Easy to get into London on the Gatwick Express if you have a few hours to spare. One bad thing is the signposting from the airport to the hotel. A secong bad thing is the access route. Signposting for that could also be improved.
“sofital experience”
we had a late checkin staff were freindly and efficient and got us to our room very quickly
“Great location”
Very convenient location just on the other side of the road from the terminal. Good restaurants. Comfortable beds, and very clean room. A little noisy with so many travelers coming and going. The monorail runs frequently from north to south terminal -recommend ear plugs.
“Convenience and comfort can't be beat.”
We stayed here because of an early morning flight from Gatwick. It was very easy to get to by train from Victoria station right to the airport and was much better than trying to go by cab (or even train) the morning of our flight. The cost was very reasonable, especially given the quality of Sofitel. No complaints whatsoever.
“Just so handy”
Excellent for overnight before early flight. Clean comfortable and very quiet.
“Comfortable bed, convenient location”
Comfortable bed. Very convenient location. Only a short walk to checkin for early morning flights (North Terminal). Having an M&S Simply Food round the corner is a big plus too!
“Very convenient airport hotel”
Very convenient for Gatwick North Terminal. Covered walkway to the hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable. I arrived late, so I didn't have a chance to try the facilities. Excellent value for money and a good option for late arrivals or early flight departures.
