Outstanding help & attention from desk staff /concierge. Dropped out cases off earlier than checkin- found them safely in our room upon our checkin time… bed was ultra comfy and the bathroom with walk-in shower was superb. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Pros (+) Bed was super comfortable. I like the toiletries provided. Breakfast was good too...a really wide variety of options. The hot chocolate for breakfast was excellent.
Cons (-) Minor details but at breakfast what was labelled as fig compote was actually prunes, the smell of jet fuel was probably unavoidable, but was a bit queasy making, and it would have been nice if the direct access tunnel had been open. Very minor issues, I will stay again.

Pros (+) I found this to be the best hotel near an airport I have ever stayed in, and for the reason you would not assume. We never heard a plane take off or land this added to the closeness of the airport I give this hotel 5 stars.

Pros (+) Located in the airport. Although I was flying out of the south terminal and this hotel is in the north terminal, it took just a few minutes to get to my terminal.
Cons (-) Waiting time to get food in the restaurant was 45minutes. There were open tables but did not appear to have adequate staff.

Pros (+) Great hotel to stay in if you're flying out from Gatwick. I have stayed a couple of times. Very clean quiet & comfortable. 4 restaurants to choose from and a bar.
Cons (-) Service in the lobby bar was very poor both times I have stayed, which is a shame, it's a great place for a drink. It wasn't busy but the staff pay no attention to the customers sitting down and congregate around the bar or walk past avoiding eye contact
