    Perfect location for Gatwick travel with outstanding food, service, friendly staff, and comfy beds. The breakfast spread was top-notch, catering to every taste. Didn't get the milk request promptly, but found a solution quickly. On the downside, an untimely fire alarm disrupted a late-night rest, but the staff handled it efficiently. Can't wait to return 🌟.

    We had a quick and efficient check-in experience at a hotel located very close to Gatwick North Terminal. The room was spacious, clean, and featured a comfortable bed overlooking the airport, which the children loved. Despite having to rely on external dining options for young children, we found the on-site restaurant meal to be delicious.

    The room was good but for some reason there was a misunderstanding and there was a sofa bed made up in the room. That gave us less room. We didn’t arrive until after 11pm so it was too late to put it away. Beds were amazing. Sooo comfortable and smooth - like sleeping on a cloud. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had breakfast at the hotel and it was very good, with freshly cooked food and loads of choice. Too difficult to find at Gatwick North, needs larger/more numerous signs to hotel entrance. Wasted time walking around trying to find entrance, and very late at night, few people to ask. Reception kindly extended our departure time. Nothing not to like, apart from perhaps the price of wine in the bars which is a bit high. The relaxation facilities were excellent, adding to our enjoyment, and the nearby landmarks like Thunderfield Castle and TeamSport Go Karting Crawley provided great bonding opportunities for my 6-year-old son and me.

    The bed was incredibly comfortable with excellent sheets, and the spacious room had a good bathroom and powerful shower. The hotel's location is perfect for early flights, and the toiletries provided were lovely. The maid service was well-equipped with plenty of beverages. Despite some initial check-in issues, the overall experience was pleasant, especially with the helpful and professional girl on reception during check-out.

    I always return for the top-notch service and unbeatable convenience. The staff's directions to attractions on my first visit stood out. This place suits me perfectly with Wi-Fi, 24-hour security, restaurant, snack bar, and more. I can't wait to return for Easter.

    The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a relaxing environment for our children to rest before our early morning flight. The hotel's proximity to the airport made it convenient for our family, allowing us to minimize travel time and stress.

    My wife says that the hotel could benefit from more kid-friendly amenities and activities to entertain young guests during their stay.

    The impeccable staff at Sofitel Gatwick made my unexpected stay due to a missed flight stress-free. Lara and Jess were exceptional. The luxurious room with a cloud-like bed and convenient airport tunnel connection were highlights. Minor key card and lift issues, early knock by cleaner. Wendy's exceptional concierge service during a London Rail Strike was remarkable.

    Just stayed at a hotel super close to the airport 🛬. Loved the asian themed restaurant - food was 👌. Beds were so comfy, but missed having a coffee ☕ machine in the room. Staff mix-ups 😕.

    sofitel is right next to the terminal with a covered walkway - making it super convenient for early flights. the staff were so helpful - especially lara at the reception who went out of her way to help me with everything - from room choices to making a hairdresser appointment. the room was very clean and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud.

    we stayed at Sofitel Gatwick, very close to Terminal 4. the room was clean, quiet, and the bed was super comfy. easy access to check-in via a tunnel. excellent service from staff, especially the manager and concierge. the bar had friendly staff, and the restaurant served good food. overall, a great stay near the airport.

    For us, it was ideal! 💯

    My recent stay at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. the staff are delightful and willing to help with any request, making the service top-notch. the room was clean and the bed was super comfortable, providing me with a good rest before my flight. the location right at the airport is very convenient for travelers, with a short free shuttle ride from the terminal.

    One area that could be improved is the attitude of some staff members at the reception. A friendly welcome could enhance the Sofitel experience for guests.

    Loved how close it was to the airport - big +! The staff were super friendly and positive, making our stay great, especially with the train strike situation. The runway view from the bedroom was awesome and the bed was super comfy! 🌟 Only downside was the room being a bit cold, but the manager quickly sorted it and made us feel at home with a drink. Cheers for a fab stay!

    I enjoyed indulging in French cuisine at the Urban Café, sipping on wine and cocktails at La Terrasse, and the convenience of being linked to the airport. Plus, can't complain about a free mini bar!

    Wow, 12% service charge for poor service in the Chinese restaurant? Must be a new way to show appreciation!

    Me and my friends had a blast exploring the atrium and taking selfies by the fear-inducing viewing window on the top floor. The lifts were so high and sci-fi, it felt like we were in a futuristic movie. Plus, it was super convenient being just steps away from the airport. Totally epic, would go back in a heartbeat!

    One thing that could make this even more awesome would be a cool rooftop terrace or a chill hangout spot for young party-goers like us.

    We were delighted with our stay at this luxurious 4-star hotel. The location couldn't have been more convenient, as it is right in the North Terminal of Gatwick airport. The staff provided exceptional service from the moment we arrived, with a warm welcome and an unexpected upgrade to an Executive room with runway views. The room itself was beautifully appointed and immaculately clean. We also had access to a private lounge where we enjoyed complimentary drinks and snacks. The whole experience was simply fantastic, and we almost didn't want to leave for our holiday the next morning.

    There is really nothing negative to say about this hotel. In fact, we would highly recommend it to any family looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay near the airport.

    The location of the hotel was very convenient, with easy access to the airport and a short walk or train ride to the terminals. the check-in process was smooth and the staff were friendly and helpful. I also enjoyed the comfortable bed and the cleanliness of the room.

    The restaurant options at the hotel were not as advertised. the restaurant that was supposedly a 2 Rosette establishment serving modern European cuisine turned out to be a disappointment, offering basic and unappetizing pub food.

    The hotel's convenience right at the airport is unbeatable for late arrivals. The rooms are clean, with nice touches like Balmain products. However, small details like confusing signage and service hiccups show room for improvement. A solid choice for a comfortable pre-flight stay.

    I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the North Terminal, making it incredibly convenient for early flights. However, the lack of attention to detail in the room setup, such as uncomfortable pillows and a lack of Nespresso maker, left much to be desired.

    We recently stayed at a hotel located directly connected to Gatwick airport, and our experience at Sofitel was outstanding. To celebrate our 25th anniversary, the guest relations team went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, decorating our room with rose petals, swan towels, and a delightful chocolate treat plate. As an added bonus, they even upgraded us to a room with a spectacular view. the cleanliness and comfort of the room, as well as the well-appointed bathroom, made our stay even more enjoyable. We were also pleased with the hotel's convenient location, especially for those traveling by plane. We can't thank Sofitel enough for starting our holiday on such a special note.

    It was simply perfect!

    During my recent stay at Sofitel, I was delighted by the convenience of its location near Gatwick Airport. The hotel provided a tunnel to easily access the south terminal, making my journey seamless. Additionally, the staff was amazing and very helpful, ensuring that my room and the hotel itself were kept clean and in great condition. The Brasserie restaurant offered delicious meals for dinner, and the reception staff were lovely. I also appreciated the option to leave my vehicle at the hotel for the duration of my trip, and upon my return, it was conveniently parked near the entrance. The car parking service and the customer lounge on the 8th floor were wonderful amenities. Jean at reception deserves special recognition for her exceptional assistance in upgrading our room. I had a wonderful experience at Sofitel and would highly recommend it.

    As a guest at Sofitel, I had a delightful experience. The staff were knowledgeable, polite, and helpful throughout my stay. The Bistro staff were a delight and the food quality was excellent. The hotel's location at the air terminal was ideal, with comfortable beds and spacious rooms. The bathroom was great, and the early morning check-out was smooth thanks to the pleasant and professional receptionist. It was a bit pricey, but worth it for the convenience of being just a short walk away from an early flight.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Stayed one night to meet relatives at Gatwick Airport. Super hotel - spotlessly clean room, modern and exceptionally clean bathroom with toiletries available. Tea/coffee facilities, ironing board and iron in room. On-site bar and restaurant. Superb breakfast with Continental or full English options, cereals, toast, pastries, fruit, yogurt. Definitely staying here again. Staff were brilliant. Chatty Stan in the bar made the evening enjoyable.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    The Brasserie's fried rice was a taste explosion, worthy of a Michelin star. The bed's comfort and the impeccable bathroom toiletries were divine. The oasis-like atrium bar was perfect for unwinding after a long journey.

    Room service woes as I tried for half an hour to order, but the lukewarm meal surprisingly pleased my taste buds.

    Discover the French joie de vivre in the hotel that creates a uniquely sophisticated experience for guests before their journey. I felt like a character from a classic French novel, sipping my coffee and living my best life in the beautifully renovated lobby.

    The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, making it easy to catch an early morning flight. the staff was friendly and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. the upgraded room was a nice surprise, and the lounge access allowed us to relax and enjoy delicious food and drinks.

    We were disappointed with the prices at the hotel. £25 for a child's pizza is outrageous, and being charged nearly £40 for breakfast for one adult and one child was ridiculous.

    We chose this hotel for the proximity to the North terminal at Gatwick and it was a convenient walk to the main bar area. The check-in staff were friendly and our room had a view of the runway. The bathroom was clean and the shower had good water pressure.

    The breakfast buffet lacked flavor and variety.

    We stayed at a hotel near the airport and it was so convenient. The location couldn't have been better - it was as close to the airport as it is possible to get. We had a wonderful dinner at the Giraffe restaurant in the airport, which was superb. The room was quiet and comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and well-equipped. The staff were pleasant and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    The price was a bit on the higher side.

    As a senior woman, I truly appreciated the hotel's elegant and comfortable lobby and lounge areas. The decor was tasteful with soft lighting and plenty of comfortable seating, providing a relaxing atmosphere for older guests. The hotel's proximity to the airport and the covered walkway meant I didn't have to go outside, which was a relief for seniors like myself who value convenience and ease of access.

    I would have appreciated more assistance from the staff, especially for seniors. They could have been more understanding of the needs of older guests like myself, providing clearer directions and assistance without assuming we are familiar with the hotel's layout and systems.

The staff are incredibly friendly, from the doorman who helped me with my bags to the reception desk. The service is top-notch and they made me feel welcome right away. The in-room amenities are great, with a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities, and a comfortable bed.

    I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable place to stay while travelling.
