Airparks Car Parks Gatwick Airport

Advantages: Affordable and Reliable
Disadvantages: Once got date of return wrong, but were resolved this quickly

...Airparks is a company that runs a long term car parking facility at Gatwick Airport. I have used them on 3 different occasions when going on holiday. I usually prefer to use public transport to and from the airport but when the flight returns quite late I like to drive back. To book visit their website (www.airparks.co.uk), select the dates that you are looking to park for and they will quote a price. For 6 days this is in the region of £27 or £4.50 per day, so is not too bad. They are listed on several cashback sites, such as quidco and topcashback, so you can get around 10% of this back. You can pay by credit or debit card (credit cards have a £1.50 fee) and once payment has gone through you are sent a confirmation email with a reference number that you have to take with you when you go. The car park itself is located just off the A...

Gatwick Airport Car Parking: Review of Ace Parking

Advantages: Chauffer is waiting for you felt 1st class
Disadvantages: None

...4 weeks ago we decided to book a break to Glasgow. I was recommended by a friend to look for a company called Ace Meet and Greet at Gatwick Airport, on finding a site that advertised Ace I entered my details but on the results I couldn't see Ace any where. I decided to find them directly There website is called www.ace-parking-gatwick.co.uk and on talking to a very friendly lady, she informed me that the large websites charge a big commission to them to give them bookings. They have decided to let the customers come direct and get a better deal. I personally paid £45 for 1 weeks parking. These brokers where charging £60. holidayextras have a guarantee they wont be beaten but very easily they where. An email was sent to my inbox which I printed out. the day came and off I went with my directions to Gatwick. I called ace meet...

APH parking for Gatwick Airport

Advantages: Great value and convenience
Disadvantages: none

...Before my recent holiday to Majorca we wondered on the best way to get to Gatwick from Southampton. The cheapest quote we could get for a return taxi was around £90. Due to the times of our flights it was difficult to arrange a lift with either family or friends and after checking various other option including trains and national express we found a website for off-airport parking at APH parking, Copthorne. We got an online quote which was £37.10 plus VAT for 8 days parking. You receive an email to act as you receipt for the parking. We left for the airport at a time that suited us, we stopped for something to eat on the way up and had took a leisurely drive there which is something that we would not have been able to do had we taken one of the other options. On arrival at the car park (which was very easy to find) we had...

Review of Gatwick Airport Parking

Gatwick Hilton

Advantages: Sounds prestigious
Disadvantages: Not good value for money

...Three weeks ago my husband and myself went to Austria on holiday. Now, normally, we would book our flight from Stanstead as it's just down the road, so to speak, but as this holiday was a present from one of our daughters and her husband, we accepted gratefully what she had arranged, which was a flight from Gatwick to Salzburg leaving at 6.05am. I didn't fancy spending all night travelling from Suffolk to Gatwick in time for the check in at 4.00am, so we decided to book a hotel close to the airport and travel down the night before. Well, I surfed the net and discovered the Gatwick Hilton for £139 for a double room. It sounded a lot but this also included 15 days parking, which would have cost around £70-80 on its own, and we didn't require breakfast that early in the morning. So, £139 for the room and parking seemed like a small price...

Review of Hilton London Gatwick Airport, London

Hilton Hotel, Gatwick

Advantages: Right on the Airport doorstep and connected via walkways.
Disadvantages: NOT cheap!

...This hotel is connected to Gatwick airport making it a cinch to use. The airport connects to this by way of following the signs along a few coridoors and into the Hotel. If you can get to Gatwick Airport by train, the hotel is quite easy to get to inside, just follow the signs. You stay under the walkways keeping dry and dont have to fiddle about with buses or taxi's. The rooms are quite basic considering the costs but, quite simply, you are paying for the convenience of not having to fiddle about with getting hotel buses to/from the airport. This is the real crunch of using the hotel. Naturally the rooms are ok with the usual facilites like on-suite toilets, TV, charge-able mini-bar, large bed unless you ordered a King-size. The food is pricey, as are drinks, but there is no need to be a captive audiance as its easy to...

Holiday Inn, Gatwick

Advantages: Very near the airport.
Disadvantages: none

...I stayed at the holiday Inn Gatwick with my family before and after flying out to the caribbean. It was clean and friendly and even the kids enjoyed it. The rooms were quite spacious with tea and coffe facilities. I even called reception as there was only one hot chocolate between the 2 children, and they were at our room within minutes with more sachets and packets of biscuits. We ate an evening meal there too and it wasn't too badly priced! We got up early the next morning and had a swim before catching our longhaul flight, which used up a bit of energy so the kids weren't too restless on the plane. All in all we loved it and would definitely stay again....

Review of Holiday Inn Gatwick Airport, Horley

Hilton - Gatwick Hotel

Advantages: close to airport, comfortable
Disadvantages: expensive, dark

...?s a dedicated check in and executive lounge on the 2nd floor to ensure that you have a hassle free arrival. There?s also a Honeymoon Suite in the hotel. PRICES: We stayed in the hotel at a cost of £45 per person but I think this was because we were part a large group and therefore discounts are available. The current starting costs for the Hilton Gatwick are from £99 upwards, with higher class suites being individually priced. Rooms can be booked by fax, phone, online or in a travel agent?s. I have also stayed in ?Le Meridien? hotel in Gatwick and would say that for the same price this hotel is much better value as it gives you larger more tastefully decorated rooms, a better health suite, a more pleasant experience and it is also located within the main airport itself via another sheltered walk way ? all for a similar price....

LONDON GATWICK CALLING

Advantages: Car Parking, no noise, close to airport, just what was needed
Disadvantages: Bit small

...Well I have already done an opinion on Crete in general, the hotel I stayed in on the island, and now to continue the series another hotel opinion. This time the Thistle Hotel at Gatwick airport was the first place of stop for the holiday. General ******* Well it may not be the most stylish place to begin a great holiday, but it was sort of essential. We had a flight from London Gatwick airport to Crete’s capital Heraklion for 7:35 in the morning. Coming from the Westcounty it would be a long 3-hour drive to Gatwick to make that sort of time in the morning flight, and not liking early mornings anyway a hotel for the previous night looked a good option. Gatwick airport has several hotels from large chains, so there was plenty of choice. For no particular reason we chose the Thistle Hotel. Ok, so we went of a good reputation...

APH Gatwick

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Car can get damaged and driven more than anticipated

...After handing in my keys to APH Gatwick, when I returned to collect the car (which I used to go to the airport with) from APH car parking at Gatwick airport, (a) the battery was "completely" flat, (b) I found out that it had been driven 6 miles unbeknownst to me, (even though it says on APH terms and conditions 4.5 "at its premises at one of its parking sites" (i.e. they do not mention that their other parking site is a whole 3 miles away, meaning it was driven on the road while I was under the impression that it would be moved within its premises and not being driven on the public road, and (c) the system lever to open the bonnet was broken upon my return, meaning that they tried to jump start the car while at its other premises (even though the person I spoke to flatly denied this). I complained to the person on duty and he assured...

Review of Gatwick Airport Parking

Marooned in Gatwick, Florida

Advantages: A breath of fresh air given the circumstances
Disadvantages: Would you really plan to stay at an airport hotel for longer than one night?

...Late last year on a trip from the North East of England to Tampa, Florida we were marooned for a night at Gatwick Airport (Thank you, B.A.!! Not alone were we?!!!**) ? but the mechanism of our stranding is another story. Given that we were only going away for a week, losing our first night (and the planned engagements of our first day) was particularly galling. Suffice it to say that we were provided with accommodation by the airline and we certainly approached the hotel with not a little disgruntlement. THE HOTEL Le Meridien Hotel is adjacent to the North terminal of the airport and is approached from the first floor by a covered corrugated roofed walkway. It is immediately apparent that it has a number of dedicated rooms and floors for travellers in a similar predicament. British Airways has twelve rooms on the first floor. We...
