For the shortest possible route to check-in, Premier Inn North Terminal and Bloc Hotel Gatwick both sit about four minutes on foot from the terminal doors, while Premier Inn A23 Airport Way adds a ten-minute walk plus an airport shuttle as a backup. These three suit a flight departing before 7am better than anywhere else on this list, since the walk removes the need to book transport at all.
Budget travellers have real choice here too: Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central, Travelodge Crawley and London Gatwick Inn all sit under seventy pounds while holding ratings above 7.5, and several, including Travelodge Central and Premier Inn A23, still carry an airport shuttle despite the lower rate. Crawley addresses like Premier Inn Manor Royal and Premier Inn Goff's Park trade a short taxi ride for free parking, useful for anyone driving to the airport.
At the other end of the range, Alexander House & Utopia Spa and Windfalls Boutique Hotel offer four- and five-star stays with restaurants, a spa and higher room rates, better suited to a longer pre-flight stay than an overnight stop. Between these two extremes sit mid-range options like Crowne Plaza, Sandman Signature and Courtyard by Marriott, each adding a fitness centre or business facilities for travellers combining the trip with work.
