We were looking for a hotel for the night before our flight, travelling in January we were unsure how the weather might hold up so we needed a cheap hotel to ensure we made it to Gatwick on time. For £35 we were apprehensive as to what we might find but were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation. The hotel was easy to find, with onsite parking, within close proximity to Gatwick but not under the flightpath and a 5 minute walk to a pub/restaurant. Having endured a few disturbed nights sleep at the Gatwick Travelodge we had a decent night sleep here, the beds were comfy and the room was warm and a decent size. Although we did not use the kitchen the fridge was well stocked with breakfast items for communal use, and the kitchen was clean. Upon arrival we had not received the door code or the code for our room, however after phoning reception we were given access to these promptly. Overall for the price we paid we really cannot find fault with the hotel. That being said this hotel put others we have stayed at to shame and we would recommend this hotel to others who don’t want to pay too much for a bed. Should we travel from Gatwick again we would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for a great overnight stay.

It is an unusual sort of place, and the price indicates what you will encounter, but as a solo traveller, the place was fine, but basic, if you are just looking for a bed, and not an experience it should be fine. The place is perhaps in need of a refurb, it has been "well-used", but I didn't encounter anything I considered unsafe. The breakfast set-up is unusual, but fine (a fridge full of eggs, bacon, bread, jam and butter), and the kitchen set-up like a youth hostel. You do get what you pay for, and in this instance, it is basic but not a rip-off.
