Holiday Inn London Gatwick
With a 24-hour airport shuttle, this hotel is a popular choice when flying from Gatwick.
Our summary of Holiday Inn London Gatwick
Holiday Inn London Gatwick Airport is located just a 10-minute drive from Gatwick Airport and is perfect if you're in transit. An airport shuttle service is available and will take you from either the North or the South Terminal to the hotel and back in no time. Parking is available at a daily rate, but it is worth noting this and the airport shuttle are not complimentary, which is a tad disappointing. You can get to London in 30 minutes via the Gatwick Express from the South Terminal. Location is obviously very handy for the airport but unfortunately, there is not much else to look for in the vicinity.
The rooms at the hotel are surprisingly functional and feature flat-screen TVs with Chromecast, work desks, and complimentary Wi-Fi. While the accommodations are generally clean and comfortable, you can't help thinking the design is a bit outdated. Bathrooms are equipped with standard amenities, though certain rooms may show slight wear​.
Dining is flexible with the hotel's Open Lobby concept, allowing you to enjoy meals at the restaurant, grab quick bites from the To Go Café, or opt for room service. A welcome perk is that kids stay and eat free!
The breakfast buffet receives high praise for its variety and quality.​
The Holiday Inn at London Gatwick caters well to business and leisure travelers alike, with facilities for meetings and events accommodating up to 220 guests.
While it may lack premium amenities such as a pool or spa, its strategic location, and reliable service make it a solid choice for near-the-airport stays​.

Popularhotels Lobby Talk brings you exclusive insights straight from the hotel staff. We've asked a number of carefully selected questions directly to the hotel team.
Where is the best place to park the car? We will arrive in the late afternoon.
We have around 600 parking spaces available within our premises. Since parking is managed by a third-party company, there is a charge of £20.00 per day per vehicle. Alternatively, we can offer a package that includes both your stay and parking for long-term parking.
What kind of breakfast is served, and where in the hotel is it available?
We serve a Full English breakfast with a mix of hot and cold buffet options (including cereals, eggs, sausages, etc.). Breakfast is served in our restaurant, located on the lobby level, from 6 am to 10 am.
What is the cost of the shuttle, and how often does it run to the airport?
Our shuttle service operates 24/7 with departures every 20 minutes to and from the airport. The prices one way are £4.50 per adult, £2.50 for children aged 5–15 and £10.00 for a family ticket. Children under 5 travel for free. Tickets can be purchased directly from the bus driver, either by cash or card. There is no need to pre-book the shuttle. The journey from our hotel to the terminals takes approximately 20 minutes.
We need to eat in the evening; are there any good restaurants nearby that you can recommend?
We have an in-house restaurant and bar on the lobby level, serving dinner until 10 pm. Additionally, there are several small restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel should you prefer to dine out.
These questions were asked in December 2024 and may be translated to English and partially summarized. The information may have changed since then, so please verify any important details directly with the hotel.
From the experts
Hotel was very clean and the room I was assigned was clean and had everything I needed for my stay. The people working here are friendly and helpful, and the food in the restaurant was great. Would definitely stay here again.
