Hotel 2 Bintang di Horley

Awesome alternative to the multinational chains around Gatwick Airport. Will definitely use again. Charming and cheap. Taxi and Breakfast available. Clean and comfy bedrooms. Helpful staff. Close to amenities.

I arrived very late because my flight was delayed but the host was extremely accommodating and welcoming even at 2:30am! The room was extremely clean and very close to the airport. Great breakfast in the morning and for the price I couldn’t have asked for more!

I came in at night for a stay over . I walked to the premium inn for a bus to the hotel which cost £4.5. The check in process was smooth and easy, there is always someone at the front desk. The room itself is quite spacious with TV , kettle, tea and a heater. There is a 3in1 shampoo body wash and hand wash for shower. Towel was ok but stained. The breakfast is typical full English breakfast buffet style with range of choices on bread and cereal. The cafe bar is comfy and have plenty of seats. The food is of standard but quite a few of the plates were not properly cleaned. Overall I would say it is ok to stay in.

Hotel clean and tidy. Very good location. Bed was big and confy. The room has a big bathroom very well equipped with towels, shampoo and shower gel. The room has also a fridge with cold drinks. The hotel also provides a shuttle service to go to the Terminal and it is close to the bus stop. NIn every floor there are vending L L lmachinesdeerx for snacks and cold drinks. Also you can get tea and coffee.

Chambre au top, mais la ventilation était assez bruyante (chambre sans fenêtre)

1. Very tired room and security appalling (Gd floor), bathroom window EXTREMELY dodgy so much so that we had to put glass in front of bathroom windows just in case. 2. Room door was a VERY basic lock - had to put suitcases and chair against the door. 3. Bathroom was in MAJOR need of an overhaul, , bath had hole in it patched up with tape and all the fittings were broken and/or Rusty. 4. Tv wasn’t working so had to wait for receptionist to come in and get it working. 3. Booked taxi through the hotel for 6.45 and thought it strange that separate unit was used for the card payment. The following morning we had to wake the driver up (he had clearly been waiting a while) and it was not a licensed taxi that collected us (no taxi plates, no badge or ID inside, no mileage recorder unit etc.). We didn’t have enough time to do anything other than except the rude (but there was 3 of us), but it appears to us that reception are running a side business…. And if we had an accident I doubt that we were covered!!! In essence, if you want closeness to airport and aren’t bothered about staying in a “run down”/ tired hotel then pay a bit extra!!!!

I specifically booked a night at the Sofitel Gatwick because it included 'Meet and Greet' parking with Maple Parking. Had they not included this I would have still stayed but made other arrangments for my car. I arrived at the Maple Parking Meet and Greet and parked the car. Took my keys over to the attendant and signed in. I then asked if they could give me 20 minutes to check in to the hotel, change clothes and bring a bag back to the car. We didnt want to bring a bag of unclean clothes on holiday with us. Here's where things went downhill faster than Gwynth Paltrow on ski's. The attendant, a tall bloke with a mid-european accent shouted at me 'No, do you know you are at an airport'. He actually shouted this. Shouted. To a customer. Take a minute to breathe that in. Fortunatly I knew I was at an airport, having driven 4 hours to get there. To hear that I was at an airport was no surprise, to be shouted at by a car park attendant was. I explained that I didnt want to take a case of unclean clothes on holiday with me. His response to that was 'we are extremly busy and your car will be removed immediately'. I asked if the hotel would hold the bag and he replied 'No they will not hold your stupid bag'. Here's where I should have murdered him with his Maple Meet and Greet Staff lanyard, but I did not. I asked for my keys back to be told once again in an truely agresive manner 'if you take your keys I will close the entry and you can't come back'. I took the keys and left. I then had to park at Gatawick Long stay for an additional £150. We finally checked into the hotel, explained the situation. The checkin lady (Alessia?) apologised and gave us two tokens for a free drink at the bar. They also kept our bag for us. Is this the fault of Sofitel Gatwick? I think it is. They decided to partner with a company that treats people appalingly. So they've got to accept responsibility for that. Please share this review, If I saw something like this I would have chose another car park or another hotel. Other people should be warned.

Booked via Holiday Extras for this hotel as we needed a place close to the airport to park our car and stay overnight for our earlier morning flight to Spain. Welcome on arrival first class. Everything was explained clearly and with a smile. Our request for an early morning call noted and carried out on time. Bit of a rush leaving as we tried to catch the shuttle but again staff dealt very quickly with everything and enabled us to catch the shuttle. On arrival back at the hotel after our holiday, again staff on reception very very efficient polite and informative. Room was lovely, clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back. A perfect stay! Thank you.

Booked here as had an early morning flight from Gatwick. The room was small but fine. It was on the ground floor and next to the main road so was some noise outside the room and quite cold (though I could heat the room up). Also noted that the hangers were too high up for me to use. Having said that I did sleep well and I enjoyed my vegetable soup. I also appreciated there being a shuttle to take me to the airport. 😀
