About this hotel
The shuttle is the reason this Travelodge earns its name: a scheduled run to the terminal replaces the taxi search that budget travellers usually dread before an early flight. Rooms are straightforward rather than stylish, with contemporary furnishings and limited free Wi-Fi rather than unlimited streaming-ready bandwidth, but the price reflects that trade-off. A bar-restaurant and breakfast option cover a meal without leaving the building, and paid parking is available for anyone driving in. Air conditioning and a kid-friendly rating round out a property built for function over flourish.

Our take
Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central is a no-frills budget base: contemporary rooms, an airport shuttle, breakfast, parking and a bar-restaurant on site. Free Wi-Fi is limited and the 7.8 rating is modest. I would book it for a single night before an early Gatwick flight when keeping costs down matters more than extras.
- Confirm the shuttle pickup time at check-in rather than assuming a fixed schedule.
- Book the on-site bar-restaurant for an early breakfast before a dawn flight.
- Ask about parking rates in advance if you are driving and leaving the car.
Why we love it
- Scheduled airport shuttle included

Why guests love itTravelodge Gatwick Airport Central is a budget 3-star aimed squarely at families watching costs before a flight. It has kid-friendly rooms, air conditioning, breakfast available on site and a bar-restaurant, so the evening and morning are covered without leaving the hotel. An airport shuttle handles the transfer, and parking is on site if you drive in. Wi-Fi is free but limited. Its 7.8 rating from nearly 6,000 reviews reflects a simple, functional stay rather than comfort.
