We recently stayed here on our way to a holiday out of Gatwick and then again on our return. Yes it is a bit faded and tatty but we had a decent sized room for both stays and although the furnishings were needing refurbished the room and the hotel was clean and we had everything we required. The bed was... more

My husband and I stayed here for just the one night as we had a late flight coming back from Egypt. We arrived about 10.30pm to be greeted by 2 receptionists on the 'phone so check-in was a bit slow. I had time to notice that the cost of a twin/double room was £145.00 per night. We got a deal... more

Best I can say is that the people are extremely nice, but the pool is closed, the hotel smells bad, and all areas (carpet, beds, walls, baths, etc) in need of repair. Only plus is its proximity to Gatwick airport and the Six Bells Pub (a great English pub) more

Our party comprised 2 mature adults and 1 88 year old lady in a wheelchair. We arrived at 2am having stayed the night prior to flying, we booked and paid for the 2 rooms on our return. Our car was still parked at the Mercure. We were allowed to unload all our luggage and the old lady in the wheelchair... more

We stayed here as most people do before a flight. The online deal was very good for 8 days parking. Hotel was very good, clean, modern and friendly. The only thing that let it down was the overpriced and very very poor quality room service. We arrived at about 10pm with a fast asleep 2 year old, check in was... more

I stayed at the Mercure London Gatwick for one night prior to an early morning flight. The package we had also included parking. The package was cheap but in the end I woould rather have payed more and stayed elsewhere. The lobby is tired, worn carpet etc. Check in was slow and there was an annoyed customer arguing with the... more

The hotel was nothing special, had it not been for the crazy prices in the London area and the hotels location next to Gatwick airport I would not have stayed here. Check in / check out was speedy. The sound isolation was not that good. To get to the hotel you have to take a shuttlebus for 3 pound/person/oneway. It... more

We did get a very good basic price, but parking was extra, and the hotel really needs some tlc. Quite dingy rooms, though they were very clean. There is no free wi-fi, which seems to be on offer in all the "budget" hotels, and there was no business center. The shuttle, which isn't run by the hotel, is £3.00 each... more

I booked here for an overnight stay before and after flying from and back to Gatwick because I have stayed before, know it's convenient to the airport, and have found it reasonable in the past . Unfortunately on the first night I couldn't sleep because of the noise from the room next door - there was a locked interconnecting door... more
