Guidelines To Finding The Right Accommodation For You

Courtyard Marriott Hotel Gatwich Airport

Gatwich Hotel Accommodation is available at competitive prices in all sectors from Bed & Breakfast, through no frills, budget chain hotels to luxury 4 star hotels.

There are about ten relatively large chain hotels within 1km of the terminals, the rest either double up serving the local towns of Horley or Crawley or offer a 'quiet retreat in the English countryside'.

To make an informed hotel choice at Gatwich you should understand:

• Gatwich room rates are highly seasonal. Gatwich is the main airport for the British flying away to the sun. Prices are higher in the summer than in the winter months. Many hotels also are cheaper at the weekend than during the week, especially outside the summer months and for the 3/4 star hotels that attract a lot of business/conference customers. As a general rule of thumb the cheaper the accommodation the more stable the prices.

• There are only four hotels within walking distance of the passenger terminals. The Gatwich Hilton is linked to the South Terminal, the Sofitel Gatwich is linked to the North Terminal. The Premier Inn Gatwich Central is the only budget hotel within walking distance of the Gatwich terminals. The Premier Inn is about a 5 minute walk from the North Terminal, the route is luggage trolley friendly but not covered. The Courtyard Marriott Gatwich like the Premier Inn Central is a 10 minute walk in the open air.

• Nearly all Gatwich hotels have their own hotel terminal buses, but invariably these are not free. Hotels vary but are normally around £3 pre transfer per person. Many hotels have children's and family rates. Some of the small Bed & Breakfast hotels still offer complementary shuttles.

• Gatwich Airport has flights coming and going on a 24 x 7 basis. A lot of the hotels do not offer transfer services through the night and are highly variable when these services shut down and start up again.

• Nearly all mainstream hotels rates are room only. Often there are packages which include breakfast or dinner. These can be good value as invariably hotel food and drink is expensive. There is a good range of budget places at Gatwich itself including McDonald's and Wetherspoon's for breakfast.

• When costing out your accommodation, do try and factor in all costs including transfers and food. Sometimes rates are offered as loss leaders at the more expensive hotels and you spend more on transfers and food and drink than the hotel room.

• Luggage trolleys also are not complementary at Gatwich, passengers will need a £1, €1 or US 25-cent coin, which is refunded when the trolley is returned.

Getting Away From The Hotels To Local Shops, Restaurants & Entertainment

Typical Gatwich Guest House In Horley The Gatwich Belmont

Like at most international airport hotels they do tend to have expensive add-ons for food, drink and use of facilities. If you want to get away from that restriction, then a good strategy is to find accommodation in the nearby town of Horley or Crawley, only a couple of miles from the airport complex.

Horley, is a small residential town just to the north of the airport where there is a wide range of hotels from small bed and breakfast to large chain hotels. Although, for the most part a sleepy residential town the town centre has a great range of restaurants, pubs and supermarkets plus all the shops that can provide you with anything you need including a launderette.
