Kids over 5 count as a guest, so if you are traveling with a kid or more, you'll probably need 2 rooms. To my knowledge, they do not have connecting rooms. We got two queen rooms. The beds are comfortable, and there's a decent rain shower in the bathroom. The rooms are not completely noise proof, but we were certainly more comfortable there than in the lounges or restaurants for so many hours. That was a good use of money, in my opinion. I'll happily use their services again if I find myself in a similar situation.

Following 2 days of delayed flights, I was able to have a relieving, but extremely short stay on an agency's credit. They have cool and modern, minimalist, space saving concept rooms.

This is, by far, the WORST hotel experience I have ever had. The hotel's policies are secretive and…read moremanipulative. We even suspected this may happen and asked for clarification, to which we were given a false answer. We check in, and we ask where the car can be parked. They give us directions to the car park. Before going, we ask a very specific question. "Are we able to go in and out of the car park freely?" We are told yes, as long as we validate the ticket every time we leave. Kind of a pain, but fine. After being parked for 2 hours, it's time to use the in and out privileges and visit friends. We go to validate the parking ticket. Then we're asked to wait while they get a manager. Turns out, because we hadn't been parked for 3 hours (but had been for over 25 minutes), there was a mandatory fee to Gatwick Airport of THIRTY POUNDS. That's not free in and out privileges. The managers sat and explained their policies, fine, but they made no reconciliation for this. We asked if there was a cost to the consumer for entering and exiting the parking lot, we were told no. The hotel knew full well that they owned a car park where the only entrance and exit was within a toll zone. When asking for directions, they told us where to turn to avoid the toll. Turns out you don't avoid it if you have a life. This is not a difficult situation. The hotel could be upfront about costs to their customers. They can argue all they want it wasn't their fee, but they bought a car park somewhere customers do have to pay more. And they knew that. When asked how the car park works, they had the opportunity to apologize for a fee outside of their control and let the consumer know. They failed. There is never a reason to tell your customer something untrue. When we asked where we can park, the answer wasn't "if you're using hotel parking, it's the first right and left." It was, let me come show you where to go. We had no opportunity to even choose to use this parking lot was never provided. This is on top of initially checking in and receiving a room with water leaking through the roof, water damaged carpet floor, and mattresses stained with blood. If you can find any other hotel or accommodation, take it. This is written on hour 2 of my stay. I dread the next 40 hours. They have staff out helping take customers to their rooms (without a concierge, so for free). Don't be fooled by this veil of friendliness. It is to rush you to your room with stained beds and towels and huge accumulations of dust by the tv and bed frame. This hotel's deception meant either paying a 30 pound fine or being 75 minutes late to a meeting. Thanks a lot. (More written after longer stay): Yep, it got worse. Family member tripped on leaving the elevator because it was significantly misaligned. 2/3 hand towels were dirty. Counter was dirty. Shower head is very short, and it's designed to be very difficult to get in and out of. For an airport hotel that knows most people will travel with luggage, there was shockingly few spots to put the luggage. The walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors and service all night. The mattress stains were worse than previously thought, and a pillowcase was dirty. Just wow.

This is my 4th time staying at this hotel. Unfortunately, this time I had to move rooms due to the…read moresewage stench coming from the bathroom (room 222) it smelt like a rotten gas. I called reception and they quickly moved me this was at 2145pm. My next room was all good until I took a shower in the morning - the water did not drain anywhere hence it literally started pouring onto the bathroom floor (room 530) I quickly stopped the shower and used all the towels to stop it from going in the bedroom. All of this prompted me to check if My booking rate was radically different than booking directly through the hotel - hence a bad batch of block rooms - to my surprise the rates are the same and booking directly includes a free breakfast. So what up Sofitel Gatwick? On a good note bed is comfortable, Rooms are clean and the noise level is decent. Good room service and great concierge. Thank you for moving me. Would I stay there again? Not sure.

I am really mixed on this hotel. Full disclosure is that I am a Hilton loyalist and get upgraded…read moreperks when I stay with them. However, that badge of honor has been earned through staying in their hotel rooms all over the world more than 60 nights/year for many years so I have a broad database for comparison. First, the good: 1. It is very convenient to Gatwick Airport. You can walk under cover to the South Terminal and take a 2 min free train from there to the North Terminal if needed. I love these types of hotels for the convenience they offer, when just needing a bed for the night coupled with the convenience of catching an early flight. 2. The employees here are fantastic. I ran into Tyreese at Check-in and Robyn at the bar and both were great personalities to have as customer-facing. They were courteous, welcoming and helpful. Hilton is lucky to have them as employees. 3. At the moment, the executive lounge is undergoing renovation, so it was closed to me during my visit. I would normally have access to this for complementary food and beverage. In its place, I was allowed to use the lobby lounge known as Amy's bar. Between 6 and 8 PM, I was given complementary access to their tapas menu And complementary beverages and house pours. I think that this was fortuitous as I would not normally eat in a hotel lobby bar but during this visit, I ordered two things off their tapas menu. The aged ham on tomato toast, and the blistered peppers. Both served with a side of sea salt. Both as good if not better than the same things that I have had in Madrid. I was really impressed with this for being in an airport hotel lobby bar. Kudos to them for that. And had their executive lounge been open, I would never have gotten to try these great snacks. Now, the not so good: 1. This hotel is relatively aged and and in need of an update. It is a nondescript, imposing concrete structure that has some glass, skylight features and a communist era look that I am sure was state of the art, 40 or 50 years ago. The rooms themselves, while clean and comfortable, also seem dated in color and furniture. Frankly, I don't mind any of this, when I am traveling alone for business. However, if you were traveling for fun or with, your significant other, this would not be a place I would stay at to impress. 2. The loyalist benefits here are a bit odd. For instance, my room upgrade was to a suite, which really was a large room with multiple beds in it. This was a little awkward, since I was traveling alone, and it felt like I was in a large dorm room meant for six people. I wouldn't really call this a negative but it is also not really a usable upgrade for the solo business traveler. 3. Because this property is connected to the airport, it is pretty isolated from anything around you. This means that you are going to have to use an Uber or a rental car to get anywhere or you are going to have to use a food delivery service if you do not want to eat at the limited Hotel options, which are a single restaurant and a bar or room service all serving pretty much the same menu. For a traveler looking to just have a bed for the night, this isn't a bad option if you don't mind paying for the convenience of food delivery or you are OK with a standard hotel Hamburger. If, however, you are picky about what you will eat, you might be in for disappointment, because the options are somewhat limited. As stated above, however, I can vouch for the tapas at the bar, which were excellent. Overall, I would stay here and have a perfectly comfortable expectation with this as a convenient airport hotel option that facilitates convenience of catching an early flight or provides adequate shelter upon arrival on a late flight in. It does offer all the basics and covers the necessary Hilton standards of comfort. If, however, you are coming to London for pleasure, I would probably give this a pass and make my way more towards central London.

He displayed such tact and care. He knew his job and he did it well. I have nothing bad to say about this hotel. It was a wonderful experience from the time we checked into the time that we left. Speaking of, we checked out to check back in because we flew to another destination, and they were kind enough to hold our bags for us. And they do this as a courtesy, which is something to consider when you're booking a hotel and planning to travel to other destinations and do not want to travel with all your luggage.

Our room also had a desk with a kettle and complimentary tea and coffee. We steered clear of the restaurant and room service; both seem overpriced. However, the front desk is more than helpful and told us about a place called Ye Olde Six Bells that is just several minutes away and completely walkable. You basically go past the roundabout and then walk through a gorgeous old cemetery. There is also a very nice park on the way. The restaurant had great food and was very cheap for something tasty and homemade. Best food and cheapest price we've spent in the UK. I definitely love this hotel for providing us with comfort and good service after a terrible stay at Easy Hotel in London. Definitely needed something to go right before we went home! They have a shuttle to and from the airport for £3 per adult. Totally worth it! The total for our stay was £49- somewhat of a deal in this country. :)
