We booked our stay through one of those hotel booking sites, can't exactly remember which one and all we needed at check in was the e-mail conformation. The hotel is located just off Junction 10a of the M23 and you can see the hotel from the motorway as you ... ...total it is about a fifteen minute drive to the airport.
The hotel has plenty of parking however it can be a bit of a maze trying to fid a space at times especially as we arrived late in the evening. I was a little concerned over the security of the parking especially as upon arrival you are asked to display a notice on your dash board stating when you return, this to me seems like placing an advert advising criminals how long they have to break ...

Britannia Europa Hotel (Gatwick)
As the title implies the Europa hotel is part of the Britannia group. It is rare for me to stay in a hotel so a review on one is unusual.
We decided to stay in the hotel primarily because it originally appeared as one of those annoying pop-ups whilst looking for airport parking on the internet. As part of a deal you get to park your car at the hotel on-site for a similar fee to competitors parking facilities at ... ...hotel the pictures on the Europa website were quite impressive with its wonderful looking architecture. I thought it would also be a pleasant change to break the usual habit of a nightmarish drive around the notorious M25 through the rush hour and would also be a good opportunity to get a good nights sleep without getting up in the middle of the night to catch our flight.
Those facts together with the offer of a free transfer bus to the airport ...

Advantages: Great for early starts to airport and leaving your car whilst on holiday Disadvantages: None
We are a family of six and getting to the airport is expensive for us as we have to take two cars and pay for two lots of parking. This Hotel solved all that and proved to be cheaper. We had a family room for £120 and got 15 nights parking thrown in. The hotel was easy to find - just off the M23 - 2 junctions from Gatwick Airport. The rooms are lovely and the hotel is great. It has a swimming pool, bar with big screen tv in it, and a restaurant, ... ...bar food is available also. The staff are friendly and helpful and even though it was a busy hotel it was very quiet once in the room. The shuttle bus was efficient, running every 30 minutes or so. I would recommend this hotel if you have an early start at Gatwick and also need to park the car for a week or so. I would definately recommend it for families. ...

A flight from Gatwick - the only option for our recent holiday to Bermuda - meant we needed one night's accommodation near to the airport itself, to ensure we had no hold ups on the morning. As we would also need 12 nights parking I scoured the internet more
Looking for a hotel to stay in at Gatwick was proving to be quite difficult as I didn't want to pay out a lot for it with it just being for a 1 night stay - however at the same time I wanted to be as near to the airport as possible to make the trip to... more
I stayed at the Europa Hotel for five nights in August of 2007 with two others. Here is a summary of our experience:
