Full review

This hotel is connected to Gatwick airport making it a cinch to use.

The airport connects to this by way of following the signs along a few coridoors and into the Hotel. If you can get to Gatwick Airport by train, the hotel is quite easy to get to inside, just follow the signs. You stay under the walkways keeping dry and dont have to fiddle about with buses or taxi's.

The rooms are quite basic considering the costs but, quite simply, you are paying for the convenience of not having to fiddle about with getting hotel buses to/from the airport. This is the real crunch of using the hotel.

Naturally the rooms are ok with the usual facilites like on-suite toilets, TV, charge-able mini-bar, large bed unless you ordered a King-size.

The food is pricey, as are drinks, but there is no need to be a captive audiance as its easy to walk back into the airport to eat and drink if you are staying the day before a trip. Otherwise its the hotel restaurant where they like you to book but you'll get straight in as I never saw it busy!

There is a lounge area, with a few dozen tables in the centre area with waitress service. It can be a little slow especially if its busy.

Consider signing up for the Hilton Honors card before you go. Its free but will enable you to get to check in or out quicker than other people.

BOTTOM LINE:

Good Point: You can walk to the airport in about 5 mins so NO fiddleing about with getting curtsey buses!

Bad Point: It'll cost a bit more than other hotels but the convenience of the location could well make up for it.
