“See you soon again!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I have spent in this 4 star hotel 1 night before an early morning flight from Gatwick . Very strategic location ,the room was very clean indeed and the bed probably the most comfortable I have slept in a long time. Everything worked, Check in service quick, professional and pleasant, check out rapid, no nasty surprises. I will go back for sure as the overall service was pleasant, professional and worth the money. Breakfast was included too and to my surprise one can also order poached eggs beside everything else and will be done. Marvellous. keep up the good work. See you soon again!

Room Tip: choose a quiet room on hight floors facing outward, I did and the view is stunning.

“So Easy!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

If you're looking for a place to overnight for a Gatwick flight then you can't get any better. Especially if you're flying from the North terminal. It's about a 3 minute walk to the check in desks.

I've stayed at the Yotel in the South terminal as well and this place is so much better. The costs weren't that different either (although I think the Sofitel can spike at peak times).

It's a very coporate looking and feeling hotel but it still does the job very well. The staff were friendly and efficient.

In terms of food, there is an M&S just inside the north terminal if you're looking for a bit more value than rip off room service.

Would definately stay here again even if I were flying from south terminal.

“Very convenient for the airport”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Very convenient and luxurious hotel, if a little expensive. We stayed there for one night prior to a flight and found the room quiet and comfortable. The restaurants in the hotel are quite expensive, especially if you want a quick snack or something simple before an early flight. The tunnel link to the North terminal is very handy and makes getting up early for a flight that little bit easier. Reception staff very helpful anf efficient.

“sofitel gatwick”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Stayed one night at this hotel post holiday, from the minute we walked in weknew we were in for a good stay.
The room was lovely ,good comfy bed and nice linen, bathroom catered for every need.
We asked for a high up room and was given one with runway views .
we enjoyed a complimentary drink in the bar, and then went on to enjoy a light meal in le cafe.
The staff were all very helpful all in all will stay here again.

Room Tip: Ask for ahigh up room overlooking the runway we had 796

“A warm welcome and a heavenly sleep”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

people found this review helpful

When I am travelling and due to the fact that I live in Jersey, invariably one of the requirements is that I stay at Gatwick on either the outward leg or the return leg of the journey. When this happens I always these days stay at the Sofitel. The bed linen and facilities is one of the best I have encountered and staying here is always a pleasure. My last stay on 5th February 2012 was true to form, a most welcome, refreshing and enjoyable stay. Airport hotels are not holiday resorts (for obvious reasons) but for some reason I always enjoy my stay at the Sofitel where all the facilities needed are close to hand. To top it all it is directly connected to the airport so no need to boether with bothersome transfers to and from the hotel.
