The hype
Travelers love the modern decor and friendly staff but are consistently annoyed by the lack of a free shuttle and the extra costs for amenities.
Holiday Inn London Gatwick Worth
$100-160/ noche
Reserva esto si You have a car, hate sterile airport blocks, and want a 'country house' vibe before your flight.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Stylish 'Meadow' bar and terrace feels more like a destination than a transit stop
- Located in Crabbet Park with 60 acres of greenery, not a concrete runway view
- High-spec refurbishment (spent £9m) makes the lobby and common areas feel premium
Resumen rápido: A surprisingly chic country hotel that forces you to pay extra for literally everything (parking, gym, pool, shuttle).
Reseñado por @Adventureswithaunty_: We stayed here before our flight and it was a game-changer. The room was spacious enough for the kids to play, and the breakfast spread was exactly what we needed to fuel up. Highly recommend for families!

- Linens & towels: Fresh and white, though a few reports of 'threadbare' towels in non-executive rooms.
- Odors & scents: Neutral to fresh. No lingering smoke smells reported recently.

Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Join the 'Parking Club' on their website if you're a frequent flyer for discounts on parking packages.

Ask for a 'refurbished room' specifically; some older rooms still have different carpets and fewer power outlets.
