        Cheap service food and bar expensive hotel transfers efficient but the time table is subject to traffic and it can be 15 -20 mins out. As long as you leave good time its fine. Car parking is in the hotel grounds its chaotic and does not appear secure but I had no problems

        the 1st night stay when we arrived the lifts were not working which ment that we had to lug our suitcases up a flight of stairs, and of course in the morning back down them. the room was fine and big enough for 4 of us bathroom needed abit of new paint it was tired. then when we returned from our holiday we had to lug the luggage back up the stairs, when we got to our room it was so small for a quad room not enough room for 5 suitcases and us!, when we went down to reception to get some juice there was no staff around and the bar was closed!.

        I like the Europa Hotel. I think you offer a fantastic convenient service and I use your regularly. But on the nght of the 28th January my partner and I stayed in room 2165 I think or close and the bed was the worst hotel bed I've ever slept in. It's was broken, the mattress has had it completely. No support. It's totally worn out. It should have been skipped ages ago. We had to sleep right on the edge either side. Awful. Couldn't wait to get up. Check out my booking and see for yourself. Having said that I then moved to room 3105 which was spot on. Will be booking two more nights in early May shortly. cheers Chris Baird.

        on our arrivel to Gatwick from a 11hours flight we were told after using the phone at Gatwick for the europer to collect us,so we could collect our car from the Europer hotel , that we would have to wait approx 1-15 min's consequently we shared a taxi which cost us £16 my husband has said he will not be using the Europer in the future

Mr walsh

        Parking is not allocated, pot luck where you get parked, no secure area, when hotel full, very difficult to find parking. Return transfers not very frequent, would have had to wait for one hour so decided to get a taxi at a cost of 15.50, would stay again but would cost in the taxi fare when compareing prices.

        Arrived too late to do anything other than sleep but we were very pleased with the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. Transfer to the airport and back good and free which was a bonus.

        We found the service perfect. The hotel was nice, we checked in, had a few drinks in the bar and then supper in the bar. It was great that we were only 15 mins from the airport for our early morning flight. Pick up was great on the way back and I was soon on my way back home.

        The staff were fine, I was not expecting a palace, but the room was not the cleanest or the most welcoming. The food at the buffet was good, but expensive, and the public areas (bars, corridors) were dirty in some area. However it did the job and very good prompt transport got us to the airport in time.

        I've read quite a few reviews about this hotel and think many of them are unfair. My room was clean and comfortable - and I thought reasonable for £79 for one night and 8 days car parking. It was easy to find on jct 10A of M23. Checking in was quick and easy. Finding a parking space was no problem. Airport transfer was on time - only 10 mins away from South Terminal. I didn't have the breakfast in the hotel as I had an early flight but ate in the bar in the night and the food was fine- plenty of it! Overall all I'd recommend this hotel if you're looking for somewhere just to stay for the night, its not 5 star but then you aren't paying 5 star prices!!!

        We would use it again, but it could do with a sign off the motorway junction as we turned the wrong way. Signs in the car park would be a big help too.

        we found the service, location, cleanliness very acceptable. the transfers were very efficient and the drivers on the whole very willing to help load luggage onto coach for us.
