The Sofitel has a superb position . It is next to the North terminal and adjacent to the shuttle to the South. As you enter you find yourself in a hugh atrium which gives an impression of luxury. Check in was quick and easy and the room on the 4th floor was compact but but well furnished. Wi-fi worked and... More

Have stayed here now a good few times and I highly recommend it. Fantastic rooms, I have had, I think, all the views and the only thing to say is although the noise of the aircraft didn't worry me too much, it may worry some people. The bar area staff are not always the most attentive, the both the restauarants... More

We have stayed at the hotel on a couple of occasions before early flight departures and it is great, the rooms are fresh and spacious and it is a short walk to North Terminal flight departures.

The bed was very comfortable. We... More

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

Stayed for one night before a very early morning flight from Gatwick. It's just really convenient being right in the North terminal and a couple of minutes from the check in desks. 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
