Just a short drive from the terminals at Gatwick is this three star hotel with a friendly staff.
The ibis Styles London Gatwick Airport is a budget-friendly hotel located just a short drive from Gatwick Airport. A paid shuttle bus service is available for easy access to the terminals between 4:00 AM and 11 PM. There is parking on-site at a £25 daily fee.
Its bright, contemporary rooms have the bare necessities like flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi, tea and coffee facilities, and private bathrooms but are a bit small for the industry standard. The windows are triple-glazed and so the rooms are relatively quiet.
The hotel's restaurant and bar serve a variety of options but reviews about the quality of food are mixed. It's convenient but it's not the best restaurant near Gatwick Airport. On the flip side, it's relatively inexpensive. One standout feature is the availability of 24/7 pizza for late-night cravings​.
The breakfast buffet is well-regarded but all eyes are on the Fiat 500 in the middle of the hall while other quirky aircraft-themed elements make it akin to a small museum.
Other amenities at the hotel include the hotel meeting space and a gym.
Overall, the ibis Styles London Gatwick Airport is best suited for short stays and early flights - it's convenient but basic.

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.
We have a small car park onsite with 30 bays, there is a parking charge per night of £25.00. However, if the car park is full the reception can provide directions to additional parking offsite.
Breakfast during the weekday – we have continental starting from 4 am till 6 am and thereafter a cooked buffet breakfast is available. All the breakfast is located on the ground floor of the hotel near the reception and bar area.
There is an airport shuttle (HB1) that stops outside the hotel and the shuttle costs £5 for a single ride for adults, and £4 for children.
There is a restaurant at the hotel that opens at 5:30 pm, alternatively there is the Gatwick Manor restaurant/pub a few minutes’ walk from the hotel. There is also Toby’s carvery down the road or you could take the bus into Crawley town where they have a variety of restaurants, take-outs and pubs.
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.
I really appreciated that the hotel was so easy to reach from the airport since I arrived late in the evening. The staff made my check-in process simple and the breakfast tasted great. My room was spacious and clean and the bed was comfortable.
