Europa Gatwick, Crawley

...a family room at the Europa Hotel including breakfast, free bus transfers and up to 15 nights parking came to £82 which seemed a great deal. The hotel is part of the Britannia chain of hotels. 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 ...

Review of Europa Gatwick, Crawley

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 ...

Review of Europa Gatwick, Crawley

Awful. Never again! Rooms: Tatty, dated, dark, dingy, stuffy. Mattresses lumpy and bedding worn and smelt damp. Furniture in the room was worn and grubby. Not as they state "They are also very comfortable and tastefully decorated". Windows filthy, mouldy and flimsy. I would not have felt safe on the ground floor. Hairdryer nailed to draw but unable to reach plug socket! Very little tea and coffee in the room and the milk was off! Noisy main road, ...
...4am for a flight. No toiletries i.e. soap. TV remote had batteries missing. Then when I took it down for some, the remote did not work the TV anyway! TV buttons were broken. Poor quality picture. Not many channel choices. Web sites say they have a trouser press in the rooms; there was not one in either of our rooms. Breakfast only served after 5am. Odd when people are checking in and out all night and the desk is 24 hours. We paid for breakfast but ...

Review of Europa Gatwick, Crawley

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. ...
