With a 24-hour airport shuttle, this hotel is a popular choice when flying from 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 While the accommodations are generally clean and comfortable, you can't help thinking the design is a bit outdated.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​.
Check-in is available from 15:00 until 00:00. Check-out begins at 00:00 until 11:00.
