Best Budget Hotels Near Gatwick Airport
Budget hotels near Gatwick Airport run from about fifty pounds a night at the Travelodge chains to the mid-seventies at Premier Inn and ibis Styles, without giving up an airport shuttle or a short walk to the terminal. London Gatwick Inn, Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central and Premier Inn Gatwick Crawley Town (Goff's Park) all sit under seventy pounds while still posting ratings above 7.5 out of 10. The trade-off at this price point is usually location: the cheapest rooms tend to sit in Crawley rather than right beside the terminal, a few minutes further by taxi.

The lowest rates on this list belong to the two Travelodge properties and London Gatwick Inn, all priced in the mid-fifties to mid-sixties. London Gatwick Inn is the standout on rating, at 8.8 out of 10 despite being the cheapest listed, though it is a smaller two-star property rather than a full-service hotel, so expect simpler rooms without a restaurant on site.
For travellers who still want an airport shuttle without paying premium rates, Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central, Premier Inn A23 Airport Way and ibis Styles London Gatwick Airport all combine a shuttle tag with rates under £85, and Premier Inn A23 adds the shortest walk to the terminal of any hotel on this list at ten minutes, useful if the shuttle timetable does not line up with an early flight.
Premier Inn Gatwick Crawley Town (Goff's Park) and Premier Inn London Gatwick Airport (Manor Royal) sit a few minutes further out by taxi in exchange for free parking, which suits a driver leaving the car for a short trip more than a traveller relying on the shuttle. Both keep rates under £60 while holding ratings above 7.5.
