I agree with the post from Corpus Christy Texas (Actually it was written the same date I stayed at the Thistle). I too, booked on Priceline as was a bit afraid after reading the posts that it was "a dump". I was prepared for the worst. Actually, we felt good about the hotel. It was only one night for a... more

There has been a change in ownership quite recently. I bid on Priceline in July and got the Thistle London Gatwick. I wasn't too pleased but the price was 104 US$ total , so I cannot be too critical! After spending large sums of Euros for hotels on our 5 week trip, the room looked o.k. for the price. We... more

Have stayed at this hotel a few years ago but now it is just awful and will not stay there again! When we checked in the receptionist acted as if she was doing us a favour - lots of sighing and messing around with the computer. Had to wait for a young guy to show her how it worked and... more

Ok so we stayed here for one night before a long haul flight the next day. We arrived about 3pm. checked in with the rudest receptionist ive seen, booked the car in for the 15days parking and went to the room. The rooms were an ok size, smelt DISGUSTING, bathroom was horrible with exposed pipes, dirty bath etc. did not... more

Got this through Priceline for an overnight stay on our way to India via London. Reasonably close to the airport -- shuttle costs $2.50/person. Run down, peeling wallpaper, really tired looking, across the street from a gas station and convenience store -- all in all, just another motel close to the airport. Would pay a few more bucks to stay... more

Decided to stay here for one night as the prices in the Gatwick area were ASTRONOMICAL!! This was the only good thing about this hotel. Bus to the hotel (H3) comes every :30 minutes but it has no place to store luggage so everyone, despite their physical condition, must drag there bags up and into the bus as there is... more

What can I say that hasn't already been said? I can usually find something positive to say about hotels but this place really is very bad. I'm just relieved that we arrived at 11pm and left for our flight at 5.30 the next morning! The decor in the main parts of the hotel is tired with peeling paint and bare... more

Don't stay there, really. Such a grim place stuck on a roundabout with no escape. Courtesy coach from Gatwick decided to wait for forever at one of the stops to change drivers. I'm sure the driver thought his endless banter was funny. It wasn't. Check in was hopeless. Check in girls asking unecessarily for information but couldn't understand when it... more

The rooms are probably the smallest I've been in ever and the decor is not to my taste. We had large cases as we were on our way to USA and had to climb over the bed to get to the otherside as the cases herdly fitted in the room. Reception service was slow, inefficient and there were lots of... more
