Travelodge & Ibis No Frills Budget Hotels at Gatwick

| Typical Travelodge Travel Lodge Room |
Gatwick Travel Lodges offer clean, modern, no nonsense accommodation with familiar brand names.
Travel Lodge in the UK is a term frequently use to describe a no frills budget hotel without facilities like 24 hour room service, gymnasiums, large lounges and a la carte restaurants of the full service hotels. By not having to pay for the extra staff and room required to provide these services, the savings are passed on in the form of a lower room rate.
Standard of cleanliness are normally high and bathrooms are what you would expect from a 3 star hotel. In the UK stars are awarded for services provided, not their quality so Travel Lodge chains tend not to even apply for a star rating.
In the UK, the leading chain is Travelodge, at Gatwick there are currently two Travelodge hotels. On this page we also highlight the Ibis Gatwick, part of the French Accor stable of hotel brands that also offers the low cost no frills, option.

Travelodge Gatwick Central
The Travelodge Gatwick Central is a very large hotel which for the last few decades was a full service 4 star hotel known for much of its time as the Renaissance Gatwick.
All the business and conference rooms, restaurants and elegant lounges have been stripped out and in their place another 150 rooms added. So what you have now is a low cost budget hotel in quite spacious grounds which betray the more upmarket history of the site.
