Good budget stay for Gatwick airport. No frills. Need to book breakfast night before.
Good stay, walked from LGW to the lodge, then back in the morning (personally wouldn’t recommend most doing this I just like walking). Bed was comfy, lodge was very close to several places to eat.

Basic clean hotel, friendly staff and room comfortable enough, perhaps bring your own pillow as lumpy. Excellent location and 7min walk from station, buses 30sec walk away to Gatwick. Ear plugs probably a good idea as you can hear the water system. Amazing value
My stay was great - the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Really convenient if you are planning on either going to Gatwick or returning from, with bus routes and taxis available nearby. Would stay again, thank you.
Great location for Gatwick airport and the room was very comfortable. Tea and coffee were also provided.

Good accommodation for a very reasonable price. Excellent position for local frequent buses to Gatwick airport and access to town facilities . Pubs, shops and restaurants a short walk away.
Appreciated the communication before arriving, check in was super fast, just handed me my key, brilliant. No WiFi password given and couldn't reach hosts to get that. Caused me a problem on my trip as used that data before leaving. Please make it clear in the room how to access WiFi if you don't provide any documentation at check in. Some non-caffeinated drink options (sachet of decaf coffee?) would be nice as many are there to get up early for the airport.
Nice and clean, plenty of pillows. Short walk into town. Been coming here to this area a few time and used other guest houses. We will just use this one from now on it is far the best..
Booked hotel as near to Gatwick for early flight. Fine for one night but was disappointed that advertised bar and restaurant but bar not open and restaurant meant you had to walk to one which wasn’t far.
