Skylane Hotel Gatwick reviews

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.

Easy to use and very near airport. I will use it again.

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.
