I've given this place a five star as it was perfect for what we wanted and for the price paid. The rooms were fine, tea and coffee, private bathroom with shower, and a plug in heater (which was needed as it was cold but the heater sorted it out). There was a hair drier in our room. The check in progress was ace, key left in a save box and a code emailed to us on the day so super quick check in process which was great after a day travelling. The common areas where great. All you can eat breakfast provided (you just have to cook it). There was bread, bacon, eggs, milk, juice and cereal. We paid £17 for the room so I think to have a breakfast as well is brilliant price! Lots of room in the kitchen and everything labelled so easy to find. If I was travelling to Gatwick I would deffo stay here again. And best bit - we could walk to the airport (took 27 mins) from the hotel through a nice bit of wooded area (pathed and sign posted) which was a great start to the holiday as no stress getting there (no bags ).

Clean and comfortable. Bathroom was a bit small, but served its purpose. Water pressure was good. Service was friendly and efficient. It's an 8 minute drive to Gatwick from the hotel, so perfect for an overnight stay before an early flight. Would recommend.

It's a good place for a short stay near the airport. The room is small but has all the necessary amenities and it's clean. The common area is very nice, with a fully equipped large kitchen and many foods available to cook (eggs, bacon, potatoes, oats) as well as cereals, bread and jam. It's near the airport and there are public buses nearby that take you to the airport. A problem is that there's no elevator, so if you have large luggage it can be a struggle. Also, the bathroom was outside the room which isn't very convenient. Reception isn't 24/7 but they'll send detailed instructions to self check-in

Complementary DIY English style breakfast, coffee, tea, cereals and snacks which is available all day, as well as self-service laundry! Arrived at midnight when the reception is closed but we received clear instructions to enter the premises. Short drive to the airport would definitely recommend this place.

The place is POSITIVE, but price speak for itself. If someone want Just to sleep overnight it will be all fine. Some hilarious things: in bathroom sink you can have boiling water or freezing water (it's better than having no Hot water) , bed was very confortable! And I had big view from my room window

Great location for Gatwick Airport. Free parking. Free & good WIFI. Good price. Clean basic room with a powerful shower. There is a dispenser by the sink otherwise you need to bring your own toiletries. Thankfully I had just enough face wash to use in the shower. For the money, it's a good offer. Haven't given 5-stars because the room was very hot and no shower gel provided. Will use again. Note, there isn't a reception however you speak to someone via an intercom and the room key is in a key locker with code.

I've really enjoyed my stay here. Clean rooms and areas. Breakfast all day in a very well equipped kitchen. Laundry and dryer. But the best of all is their great service. So if you are passing by Horley, looking for a place to stay while looking for a permanent place near Gatwick. This place is perfect! Highly recommended.
