Stayed 1 night (Tues) prior to flight next day. This is the second time we have used this hotel and cannot find any reason to fault it. Rooms typical of HIE and not huge but extremely clean and adequate. We always book double room with Sofa bed for the extra space. Hotel is on a squareabout and there are 2 restaurants on the square which we have used and find very good. No noise either from in the hotel or outside. Complimentary breakfast included in price as standard (cereal, toast, fruit, yoghurts etc). Although close to Airport (approx 4 miles) no noise from planes heard on either visit.

We will always use this hotel when flying from Gatwick.

Excellent.

We were very impressed with this budget hotel. We paid £58 for one night with continental breakfast included. Our room was spacious and immaculate and the staff were very accomodating. There was some road noise, but not so much that we were bothered by it at all. Continental breakfast was good. Overall, a very positive experience. Would highly recommend.

I stayed here three nights over two weekends July 2007. For the money, I found it clean, comfortable, friendly and quiet ( except for the early risers trying to make very early flights). My first room had a large double bed, and not too crowded, but everything was well laid our. The second room was a twin, and it seemed more spacious, but probably optical illusion. I liked the shower with a decend shower head, and very clean bath. THe breakfast was included, and several choices of hot coffee, chocolate, and tea. There was fresh fruit, several cereals, and you could make toast or have croissants. It was plentiful. I felt overall the hotel was well run. They use a local cab company and you get a 3 pound discount if you are staying at the Express. It is about a 10 minute ride to the airport. I also took a cheap day return into London from the Three Bridges Station, a short walk down the road. I ate at both restaurants in front of the Express. The buffett one gives masses of food, and rather cheap prices. The steaks looked great. The other is a poor imitation on an American style restaurant, not good service, and food never was warm enough for me. But it is also inexpensive, and has a pleasant bar. Their business was very poor, while the buffet restaurant was jammed. Both give 1/3 discounts before 6:30 PM. In all, this was a travel bargain, for Gatwick hotels are notoriously expensive. For 70 pounds a night it is a steal even with the taxi fares. I will stay there again.

Have used this hotel a few times when flying from Gatwick.
Its a really nice clean good value hotel. Buffet breakfast included in the fixed price.
There is a pub and a resturant right outside the front door.
Its a ten minute taxi ride to Gatwick airport.
