This is a modern stop-over hotel for Gatwick Airport which is used by a substantial number of aircrews. If you travel by train to Crawley railway station go to the London arrival platform, walk along it to the end and you will find a doorway labelled "Arora Hotel". Ring the bell and they will let you in - very convenient. The town of Crawley is over the station footbridge and then a walk of about 2 or 3 minutes - if you want to go for I cannot imagine why anyone would want to go there!
The hotel is fresh looking and well decorated (good first impression) and we were welcomed warmly by the reception and promptly registered. Our room was reasonably sized with a good bathroom but smallish bath. It was clean and wholly acceptable for a one night stay although the room lighting was pretty poor.
The bar was situated in the atrium which is overlooked by bedrooms - the hotel has an unusual layout. It was OK without being memorable. We ate a bar meal in the hotel bar because the town of Crawley did not seem to offer anything acceptable. My pasta was about OK but my wife thought that her club sandwich was dry and unappetising. The only draught beer was Japanese (Why?) which tasted like any other lager. The main hotel restaurant is Italian and not that cheap. I cannot comment on breakfast.
There is another hotel bar which was a strange place decorated very simply and a bit out of keeping with a four star hotel. If it was an attempt to recreate a "typical" British pub then it has failed quite miserably but it did at least offer proper beer at reasonable prices (£2.60 for a pint of John Smiths and a Happy Hour)! Bar meals were available here also.
The shuttle to the airport is very reasonably priced (£2.50 per person) and can be booked at the reception. Book as early as you can because it only goes every hour (quarter to the hour) and the mini-bus is rather small - I think it only takes 7 people. The trip will take about 10-15 minutes to the airport. I cannot comment on the reverse direction.
We paid £64 for a night and thought it was good value for a South of England hotel. It was a bit soulless and characterless but if you need a decent stop-over for Gatwick Airport then it is in my view quite a good choice. I might very well use it again myself!

Stayed at the Arora Sunday night as had early flight on Monday and didn't fancy the M25 that time of morning and wanted a nice start to the holiday.

Absolutely fantastic room, comfy bed and lovely shower.

Took their mini bus to the airport at 6.45am - train service goes to the back of the hotel every 20 minutes from Gatwick even late at night.

Had a walk round shops, pubs and restaurants around Crawley which was 15 minutes walk but didn't look that safe to go out in the dark and heard a few ATM attack stories from locals.

Ate in the Italian restaurant at the hotel instead - expensive for small portions (you have to order everything from chips and vegatables separately otherwise you just get your meat).

Money apart - the food was absolutely fab and services was excellent.

We stayed at the Arora International for 1 night prior to our flight to the States and what can I say, we were really very impressed. We managed to get the room for £42.00! including breakfast! The hotel was clean and pefect for us, we used the courtesey bus to the Airport which only cost a few pound.
We didn't take up on the breakfast as we had to catch an early flight but we did eat in the restaurant in the evening which seemed fine. For the purpose of our stay we found the hotel incredible value for money.

stayed at this hotel for one night with a work collegue as we were on a training course in Crawley.

we arrived in early evening and were checked in straight away. the front desk service was really helpful and polite.
our room was on the 2nd floor.
the actual hotel is set out in a H shape,with a huge atrium inthe middle.
as we arrived quite late, we didnt use alot of the facilities. we were aware there was a gym, bar and restaurant.

there was also ice machines on each floor,which was good if u wanted a cold drink.
car parking at the hotel was very secure. it was operated by barrier entry and patrolled often.

the rooms at the hotel were lovely. the key was a swipe card, which is also used to operate the lights,which had diffferent settings. you could dim them as well, which was nice.
there was also climate control.
the beds were really big and comfortable. there was tea and coffee making facilities and a TV.
the bathroom was gorgeous!!!! everything was granite and we had complimentry flannels,towels and soaps.
everything was immaculatly clean and shiny. there was a seperate bath and shower, which you dont normally find.

as we were leaving, we saw Emirates cabin crew checking in with their pilot. If its good enough for them, its good enough for us!!

all in all, our stay was brilliant, we would have happily stayed for longer. as far as i know the hotel provides transfers to the airport, which take about 10-15mins, which is good for airport users.
