The hotel looks realy nice from the outside but not so great on the inside. I was in a single room which was tiny - the bathroom was bigger than the bedroom. My window didnt shut properly and the curtains were all ripped. In the bathroom there is a hair dryer but there was hair all attached to it. the corriders are really creepy and the carpets look like they need replaced. On my way to my room there was a creep looking man who seemed just to be hanging about in the lobby. The reception booked a car for me to Gatwick in the morning, when the car came I had to go down some stairs and was struggling with my suitcase but the man at reception or the taxi driver didnt offer to help.

The hotel needs some serious renovation.

I know this hotel is cheap (£49 we paid) but I didn't think it was very nice. The reception is dingy. The first room we got was stinking of cigarettes even though we asked for a non smoking room. We asked for another room. This room was ok except for a filthy skylight in the bathroom which was dripping with condensation and was black with the dirt. It was on the 3rd floor, there are no lifts which was very annoying as we had big heavy suitcases with us. This was out in a different wing from the reception, the whole area out there was fairly dirty and badly needs to be updated. The location is the only good thing about this hotel in my opinion.
All in all it was only ok, not terrible but I wouldn't stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel as a stop off to Gatwick airport.

It is well located about a 10 min walk from Crawley train station and is ideal for those wanting a stop off before flying out of Gatwick.

Crawley had many great eating places and I would particuarly recommend the indian just accross the street.

The rooms were large and well appointed with everything you should need. The beds were large and comfortable; and the curtains blocked out much of the light.

Breakfast was good and consisted of a hot and cold buffet with fresh made toast and tea and coffee.

The hotel was going through some refurbishments out the back and the view from rooms in the rear of the hotel was rather dire; but this is minor as it's hardly somewhere you stay for the view.

All in all the hotel was comfortable and well located for travellers.

The staff were rather dour and could have cheered up a little; but I would recommend this hotel for a short stop over.

No Need to leave your house at 2am to get to Gatwick, better go the night before and stay at the George hotel.

The hotel is about 5 - 10 mins by train to Gatwick Airport. The train Station being a short walk to the Hotel.

Don't think of the reception and teh corridor carpet being representative of the hotel. The room sare really lovely, brand new, very clean and nice and comfortable. I guess the next stage will be to make the reception and corridors similar.
Too be fair it is in an old building dating back to the 17th century. It is a really nice building and the bedrooms are definitely 21st century.

I booked through the hotel website and got a very good rate (website looks a bit tacky, and when i tried to ring the number from the website it was never ending ring) and when I arrived at the hotel I had absolutely no problem.

You can decide to pay for breakfast or go without which is pretty handy as I was in a rush in the morning.

Overall very good.
