This hotel is situated just off the motorway slip road and is very convenient for Gatwick airport. There is a regular shuttle bus that runs from the hotel to the airport. There is nothing or nowhere to go in the vicinity of the hotel, it is quite isolated. We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a National Holidays... More

We stayed at the Europa overnight before an early morning flight from Gatwick Airport, it was part of a package which included parking at APH car park, to be honest after reading some of the reviews I really did have doubts about even staying there and driving up early morning and just use the car parking, but having worked out...

This hotel is disgusting and what a waste of money. Thomson advised me to book this hotel as we were due to fly to Mexico early the next morning. Carpet was filthy and covered in stains.... The rooms was absolutely freezing (another guest told me her rooms was the same when I asked her the next morning) We had 20... More

Check in the room , opened draw and find used condom, hair dryer was covered by make-up...went to reception and asked for another room. Second room was better but far away from cleanliness I expect from hotel. Advice- before unpacked your stuff check room , there might be unsatisfied surprise. More

Booked this hotel as part of a parking package for Gatwick, chose it because the hotel offered on-site parking & transfers to the airport. On arrival, told we couldn't park at the hotel, we would have to drive to a 'summer special' park on the airport. Complained that was not what we booked but the receptionist was quite agressive (I...

Thank you for your comments posted on Tripadvisor. We were very sorry you were disappointed with the parking arrangements on this occasion. We do try to keep all cars on site if possible but on rare occasions it is necessary to use our off-site facility. More

booked for one night prior to an early flight from Gatwick with 8 days parking included. Arrived at 5.00pm and had to drive around the car park till 5.30pm to find somewhere to park the car. The car park is just chaos as people park anywhere and anyhow, no organization whatsoever. Had no choice but to eat at the hotel... More

We booked this as part of a parking and stay package, then read the reviews and wondered if we should cancel. However, we arrived at about 930pm, the directions given were easy to follow and we found the hotel quickly. Parking however was not so easy but we eventually found a spot not too far away from the main entrance.... More

Abysmal service, dirty (executive) room - they couldn't care less because they are close to the airport & provide parking & therefore get plenty of people staying for only one night. More
