As soon as we opened the front door we were shocked by the terrible smell. Our room thankfully had windows so we aired it out for two hours while we were out for supper. The room itself was very nicely renovated and spacious and the bed was comfortable. The bathtub/shower was slippery though and there weren’t grab bars. There was no fridge or microwave and when I asked for ice he said they don’t do that. I could walk to Lidl for that. There was no air conditioner and no screens on the windows. It would be terrible to stay there when the temps are above 20c and when the mosquitos would be a factor. I would check around. The area itself is great for an overnight flying through Gatwick as there are lots of dining options within walking distance.
Stayed in a beautiful triple room with shower and toilet. Very comfortable, excellent location and simple self service check in. Have stayed twice now.
Brilliant little room with everything you need. Nice building apart sat nav takes you to the wrong road but we managed to find it. Close to the airport by taxi. We paid £17 for taxi which i think its overpriced and that was a taxi taken from reception (friend). Maybe normal taxi would be cheaper ,i dont know. Overall nice cheap short stay.
Ok for one night, room very hot and stuffy. Security of room door awful, one Yale lock with missing lock button. It woukd have been easy to shoulder the door open. I wedged a chair and other items in front - didnt make me feel safe as i was on my own.
