Gatwick Airport Hotel and Parking Reviews
We have used this service many times, book the Sofitel at Gatwick along with the parking. It makes life so much easier particularly if you flying very early in the morning. The price is reasonable enough and on the numerous occasions we have used this we have yet to have any bad experiences.
Mr French - ★★★★★
Really good experience the courtyard marriott was in easy walking distance of the Gatwick South terminal. The return experience was excellent, the car was ready and waiting and couldn't have been closer to the hotel. We walked back rather than the bus which helped wake us up for the drive home. Would definitely book this again.
Mrs Dierks - ★★★★★
Excellent price for a premium nights hotel and 14 day car parking. Car stays on site and is ready for collection on your return, very easy to find at 02.30. Made our holiday so much more pleasurable knowing we just had to park at the hotel and be fresh for our long awaited holiday. Top marks!!!
