    "Did the job but we probably wouldn't recommend it to friends if they had a choice"

    Handy for the airport. Near town facilities. Pleasant enough staff.

    A bit run down. Cold at times.

    "Reading previous bad points we anticipated the worst, but were pleasantly surprised to receive the best, taking into account the inexpensive cost compared to other hotels listed."

    Excellent staff courtesy

    "We enjoyed our stay, particularly the food & the friendliness of the staff, though were only there for a stopover between flights."

    Staff extremely friendly, helpful and willing to go out of their way to assist with any request. Restaurant provided a quite extensive menu of Western & Indian food -- the Indian was excellent. Efficient transportation service to & from Gatwick airport.

    Our room was small, and didn't meet standards many international travellers expect of a hotel e.g. fabrics didn't match and decor was a bit shabby. Local teenagers use the bar in the evening but didn't cause any problems that we were aware of, despite looking intimidating.

    "Its the same problem i have in any hotel near gatwick i'm working and everyone else is going on holiday. what a downer ? ha ha ha "

    Mainly clean bedding a must for me

    Only problem i had was, i wasn't told that there would't be clean towels but i only stayed 2 nights so this didn't matter so much.

    "Disappointing"

    Clean bedding Generous tea/coffee making facilities in room Well served /good variety of foods for breakfast

    Staff uncertain of role and duties Hallway fire exitcluttered with wood cuttings - Health and Safety! Good new wardrobe unit spoilt by old,damaged, stained chairs Toilet seat hinge open for germs to gather

    "Very basic, but the security issues are very concerning."

    The cost was fair

    Very small breakfast, BAD security. You have to leave your room key at reception on your way out and there is not always someone manning the reception. One morning I left my key on the table at reception and when i returned that evening, it was still in the same place, meaning that anyone could have picked it up during the day and gone into my room. Not good at all.

    from Stockholm SE stayed on August 7, 2009

    "The transfer to and fro the airport worked fine, the breakfast was adequate, but if I hadn't been exhausted I don't think I'd have been able to sleep at all due to the bad smell and the bug. "

    My room had an awful smell of mildew, the bedspread was dirty and when I was lying in bed reading a small black bug crept up off the floor to join me....

    from Huntington US stayed on May 20, 2009

    "Was generally disapointed and would never stay there again. It is a shame as the hotel has such potential becuase of its location"

    Located in nice area and pick up and drop off at airport was gratis

    Hotel appeared to be run down, rooms and lounge area looked in need of renovation, staff were uninterested and bordering on rude, cook was late for breakfast which time had been specifically booked in advance as I was catching a plane, several clients were inconvenienced in this same way.

    " Totally misrepresented an the web site. Please inspect this dump yourself. For the sake of your own reputation you should remove this hotel from your roster."

    None. This is the worst hotel I have stayed at in 25 years. Old, smelly, dirty, room with mismatched cheap furniture that was probably bought at boot sale or salvaged from a junk heap.

    Too many to list see above.

    "Rather pay few GBP pounds more than stay at this hotel and being yelled at and embarresed by those people. Just do not do it!!! It was ridiculous."

    there is nothing good about this hotel. to be precise, the employee at the checkout told us this is not a hotel it is a DRAMA HOTEL...this were his words.

    Am still in europe, however I will contact the manager directly to let the management know about the worst experience in our lives. It was rather an embarresment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "It suited our purpose."

    Staff pleasant - transport to/from airport good - able to leave car at hotel during holiday whilst abroad.

    No specific time given for checkout - Seemed to be an expectation of "as early as possible". This may have been a wrong impression but when you arrive in the early hours for your stay the last thing you want to think about is how early you can be gone ! Overall the good points out-weigh the bad point.

    from Dubai AE stayed on April 12, 2009

    Full english breakfast was good and speedy

    Carpet in room was filthy with long ingrained dirt. My feet were dirty from just stepping out of bed and going to toilet. Either doona or bed had "bed bugs" in it. I was bitten alive and had 15-20 welts from being bitten. I do not know how it has a 3 star rating, nor do I understand how it has passed health or licencing checjs in order to remainb open as a hotel.

    "adequate, breakfast was rather small and did not like being ripped off arriving back from holiday"

    when met by the driver on our return we were met with a surcharge by him that was at no time mentioned anywhere through the booking process even though they were aware of our arrival time.

    "It was very convenient for Excel and we were comfortable after a long day at work"

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was convenient and reasonably priced and we were able to eat there with friends with no fuss about finding somewhere else to go.

    from Brigg UK, stayed on December 2, 2008

    "OK for the money. Very friendly staff. Nice bar"

    Free airport transfer, which was also fast and flexible Close to airport but also close to a village, so choice for meals, drinks etc but also they have their own restaurant and bar

    My ground floor room seriously needed a revamp. Polystyrene ceiling tiles looked a mess. Shower opening so small I had to squeeze in one boob at a time!!!

    They were polite.

    Information concerning hotel was incorrect. Restaurant was Indian Cuisine, was not advised of that. Stated free transportation 24/7, incorrect. They limit the times of free transportation. Stated my room would be 50.pd, they charged me 55.pd. Information given concerning the hotel/B&B should be correct. They imply it is a very lovely and special place to stay. It is just a place to sleep.

    "It does the job - just."

    Handy for Gatwick and Horley town centre

    Tired, run-down place. More a 1950's Guest House than an Hotel. Tiny TV with no satellite. Breakfast cut-off time is 0830hrs, every day, much too early.

    from Oslo NO stayed on November 5, 2008

    "is summed up in the above. PS. In the box below I would have included a `maybe` for Would you book at this hotel again?` This would catch the ambigous attitude."

    Clean, warm,nice to be taken to and fro airport. Nice lounge.

    Staff was never unfriendly, I simply had a feeling they were having problems between themselves and this affected their interaction with the public, as in a reserve that comes from a preoccupation with other matters, perhaps personal matters. As I said, never unfriendly, but this affected the general atmosphere.

    "It is OK to stay one night."

    Free transport from and to airport. Nice indian men, who made a good service.

    I could very easy hear other people, walking in the hotel, when I was in my room. No place to have my luggage, only a little bit of the floor. Perhaps better in other rooms?

    "i suppose for a night by Gatwick airport it was a fair price for what you got but it is nothing special."

    good breakfast
