Stayed at the Sofitel before flying out to the domican republic, to say the location is good is an understatement. On morning of flight we were at check in with in minutes(north terminal),through a walk way i should add ( no taxis or transfers needed ). The room was very clean, and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. We... More

I booked the Sofitel as we were flying to Venice for my husbands birthday and everything was a surprise. We normally book the Best Western which we are very happy with but I wanted something a bit smarter as it was a treat. I had booked parking as well so got a good deal. Very simple to get dropped off... More

This is a brilliant hotel if you are flying from the North terminal. The rooms are really quiet and comfortable. A little on the pricey side but you can't beat the proximity to the terminal and if you take the Park and Fly option then it does actually work out quite reasonable. More

Nicely kitted out rooms, everything clean and well presented. Staff all fine. Food in the brasserie is very nice. The express check out (ie pay up the night... More

The hotel itself is excellently located for both the North South terminal. Its at the north terminal, but if you want the South (which we did)... More

The hotel is well located and has immaculate general areas. The entrance and foyer is actually very impressive. The staff, particularly the concierge, are very helpful and friendly. The "complimentary" internet exists, though is quite slow and it's a little frustrating that one is asked to upgrade to a faster connection. The room was standard - a little stuffy and... More

Absolute dump - overpriced and usual rude,ignorant staff It's only saving grace is that it's five minutes from the Gatwick departure lounge so like us just use it as a cheap car park for an early flight Interior is reminiscent of the high security wing of a Manchester prison The chief isn't - he's a meat burner and can only...
