Premier Inn Gatwick Airport

The Premier Inn Gatwick is a 3 floor classic no frills budget hotel of good quality situated 500m from the North Terminal building at Gatwick. The Premier Inn Gatwick is a recent build hotel and is the only budget hotel within walking distance of the passenger terminals at Gatwick. The Premier Inn is closest to the North Terminal. Free transfers run very frequently between North and South terminals at Gatwick.


Premier Inn is the UK's largest budget hotel chain. Most people would consider their hotels to be of higher quality than most other chains in the market place in this sector. Family Rooms, accommodating up to two children are normally the same price as a room for two people.


An all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is served daily at Premier Inn Gatwick, featuring cooked and continental options. The restaurant offers a varied menu, and the bar serves light snacks and drinks.

Premier Inn Gatwick Airport Hotel has an on-site parking lot (for an additional fee), but 'park and fly' packages are not available. Guests can use the parking lot for the duration of their reservation only.


There are several Premier Inn hotels at Gatwick Airport. The Premier Inn Gatwick Central as its name suggests is the only Premier Inn within the airport complex itself. However, a mile or so south of the airport are two other Premier Inn hotels, each having an airport shuttle bus, free parking overnight and normally cheaper room rates.

The Premier Inn Gatwick South is in large spacious grounds more associated with a country house hotel than a budget chain hotel and has a historic olde worlde pub adjacent complete with duck pond. The Premier Inn Manor Royal is a few hundred yards away and is quite a contrast, a modern tower block in the middle of a business park.

It is possible, and many people do, walk to the North Terminal about 500m away. Unlike the other on airport hotels the path is not signposted to the Premier Inn Gatwick and the hotel is hidden behind a grass mound from the passenger terminal.

Start by exiting the North Terminal at ground level by the main entrance to where the drop off point is for vehicles. The monorail to the South Terminal is up high on your right. Turn left and follow the path to the end and carefully cross the road. Follow the narrow path that goes around the base of a grass mound. The Sofitel hotel is way over to your right. As you circle around the grass mound the Premier inn gradually appears.


Vicinity Around Premier Inn Gatwick Central:

There is little in the immediate vicinity other than the airport. There are frequent trains and local buses into the neighbouring towns of Redhill and Crawley where there are shops and other entertainment.

If you have time to kill trains go both into London and to the coast both about the same distance away. The Gatwick Express takes 30 minutes into London.
