        It is a pity that the transfer to the air port does not run late.Our aircraft was 2 hours late and we did not know that there was no transfer to the hotel. We had to pay out for a taxi to take us back to the hotel

        its what to expect from a hotel at only £39. however save you money and get a full English twice the size at the airport at the same price, at least you will know that if you are on a long haul, you will feel full till your in-flight meal.

        only 1 night stay before flight departure but fitted the bill.my main criticism would be a lack of food available until 1600.we arrived at 1400 having had nothing since breakfast and had to wait until 1600, as there are no cafes or restaurants within walking distance this was a minor disappointment

        An older hotel with the decor and fittings tired and well past there best but undergpoing extensive re-fit. We visited right in the middle of an extensve re-fit. The cutting edge, modern bedroom with wall mounted flatscreen tv was even more of a pleasant surprise after the vintage 60's and 70's decor encountered on the way there! European reception staff very friendly and helpful, hotel ideally placed for Gatwick with regular friendly transfers. Car parking facilities basic, but no problems.

        The Restaurant was a throw back to the mid 70's and lacked any character or ambience. Although the room was clean the bathroom had seen better days as had the reception and linking corridors. As a one night stopover it served the purpose but would not rush to go back there.

        Big dissapointment was the bar - or complete lack of a bar - one table in the claustrophobic dining room - just awful.

        the rroms where basic to say the least and we had to pay for a taxi to the airport as the shuttle bus was full and had to be pre booked in advance but we where not told this

        As a one night stopover place this hotel was fine. We arrived late and had to wait at Gatwick quite a lot longer than the 10 or 20 minutes billed on the website after reaching the hotel by the courtesy phone, and we were cold by the time we were collected (March). But someone did come. We were too late for the kitchen (9.45pm or 10pm) but the barman rustled us up a roll each. The hotel ordered a taxi, which came in time, and the hotel woke us up in time for the taxi. The room was comfortable for one night for myself, husband and teenage son. It was cheaper than a lot of other hotels and it had a room for 3. Staff were efficient and pleasant. I would use it again if I had an early am flight. I might want to try a different hotel for the same price to see if that one was closer or easier to get to from Gatwick.

        the car service was very good and i opted for bring the car to the airport on return of holiday service and it saved the hassle of catching the bus to the car park as we had travel back from australia and didnt want the hassle

        Most people are using the hotel prior to flying - many, like us had heavy bags - there was no lift, and that meant we had to carry the heavy cases upstairs. It was only one floor up, but carrying the bags upstairs does put a strin on the back!otherwise the service was adequate.

        Though we enjoyed our stay, when we ate in the resturant and ordered our drinks they came to us warm, especially the larger which was on draught but came to us like a luke warm cup of tea.

Mr HEDLEY

        We have used this hotel & parking service a few times, like the onsite parking, car is safe and less chance of damage. We had a newly refurbished room this time, very nice and a great improvement, well done. Courteous staff. Good mini bus service. Quick pick up from phone call.

Mr timms

        Excellent service from the staff, which are friendly and can not help enough. The rooms are very comfortable, the resturant was very nice and the food was of good quality. This is a very relaxing way to start your holiday as you have no worries of traffic on the roads to the airport. The transfer driver, mike is very helpful and friendly.I would like to complement him for the excellent service on the way out and greeting us with such a warm welcome on our return. Will definately use this hotel again very soon and recommend to others.

        brilliant for a nights stay, close to the airport and great value for money when staying away for 2 weeks

Mr Tipping

        The location is great and the parking and transfer is efficient if a little germanic its operation. The hotel needs a refurb 2 years ago and lets the whole operation down. The website paints a clever rosy picture that is dispelled when you actually arrive. We ate at the airport in preference to the restaurant as we went sure how clean it would be. shame as everyone we met from the hotel was helpful and pleaasnt

        SkyLane is definately a place we would not revisit. Room was very tired looking, peeling paint etc. Bad night sleep due to ill fitting door that banged loudly everytime there was someone in the corridor using another door. Midnight a foreign man walked into our room we were in bed, he just kept saying your door was unlocked! Overall view a grotty hotel and unsafe

        This hotel is desperately in need of a MAJOR refurbishment, the staff wer helpful and the transfer was efficient and FREE.

Mr Woolass

        The hotel is undergoing a re-furb but still allocated the old rooms out. Initially we were given an old room, it was like something out of Fawtly Towers. The re-allocated new room however was much better, very clean and modern. The restaurant was like basic pub grub, fuel but little more. The drop off service was fine, no hassle and very prompt, however the collection piece advised that we would have to wait for an hour before they would collect us, with a small child a taxi was the only option. Staff were friendly and helpful though so all in all it was functional as a night before stop over and parking.
