Hilton London Gatwick Airport

A clean and relatively comfortable hotel which of course is very much about getting an airplane in the morning. Being a short walk from the south terminal it is very good for this. Breakfast was very good (from 5:30, as of August 2025) - be aware some of the options like porridge are tucked away at the back. No complaints but room price is high mainly because of where it is.

This hotel was extremely convenient, right outside the South Terminal with a covered walkway connecting it. The room was fairly big, with everything needed. Bathroom was good. Room was very quiet. We chose it because we were flying into the South Terminal and we were taking a regional train to meet up with friends the next day. The train station is right at the entrance to the terminal. We then took the train and underground to the V and A the next day. Everything was so convenient and easy. We flew out from the North Terminal, but well signed, not a long walk to the terminal train, and as it was an early flight, the train to the terminal was not full at all. It was probably expensive but worth it for the convenience. We did not try any of the facilities or food, so can't comment on that.

Unfortunately I did not have time for breakfast as I had to catch an early flight to Toronto, leaving at 9.40 am the following morning. The hotel location for all flights is very convenient and I always use the Gatwick Hilton for its proximity for visiting London too. And, by the by, I worked for Hilton International for some ten years many years ago, beginning as Night Manager at the London Hilton for two years, followed by working in F & B Management at the London Hilton, Kensington Hilton, Stratford upon Avon Hilton, Paris Hilton & the Jerusalem Hilton before emigrating to Canada in 1982 with my family. I enjoyed my time working for Hilton and it was a wonderful experience and I even enjoy a small Hilton pension today.

Convenient location if you have an extended layover at Gatwick (or want to be someplace convenient to check into a flight).....

We stayed at the hotel ready for an early morning flight. Our room was upgraded but this meant it was at the far end of the hotel which was quite a distance from the main reception. The room was clean and very comfortable. Perfect for our needs. There is an undercover walkway from the hotel to Gatwick which is extremely convenient but the signposting from the airport isn’t great. We were dropped at the airport to drop our bags before heading to the hotel and did get a little lost trying to find the walkway (it’s much easier hotel to airport). If you’re at the airport and trying to find the hotel: Come out of the main entrance and head straight over to the car parks, turn left until you reach the first set of lifts then take it down (think it was level one but it is labelled). Then turn left and you’ll locate the walkway.
