Holiday Extras Hotel Reviewer
Hi, Im Kate Jarvis, one of Holiday Extras dedicated team who try every hotel we recommend. Ive slept in the beds, eaten in the restaurants, sipped drinks in every bar and even worked out in the gym. And I can promise you that the Hilton at Gatwick easily deserves all its 4 stars, being 5 hassle-free minutes stroll from the check-in desks. Isnt it reassuring to know that we test every hotel and car park that we recommend?
Affordable luxury metres from the South terminal. One of our most popular hotels, the four-star Hilton at Gatwick airport is connected to the South terminal by a covered walkway. You're just an unhurried five-minute stroll from the check-in desks.
Unless you pitch a tent on the runway, you simply can't sleep closer to the planes. And the Hilton's extremely convenient for the North terminal too - it's just two minutes away on the free monorail, which runs every three minutes, 24 hours a day. If you want to roll out of bed and straight into the airport, this is the Gatwick hotel for you.

Easy to find, impossible to beat
If youre driving to the airport, the Hilton couldnt make it easier to park. For the ultimate in convenience try our Gatwick airport Meet and Greet service, which collects your car from outside the hotel and brings it to you when you fly back from your holiday.

If youre coming by public transport the Hilton is a five-minute walk from the station, undercover all the way.

A standard room that tops all standards
Weve tried it ourselves and not only do you get a great nights sleep, you get a surprise in the morning when you remember youre right in the middle of one of the worlds busiest airports.
The room was excellent with the added bonus of being in the airport
The rooms are everything youd expect from a Hilton warm, elegant and sumptuously comfortable with every possible convenience at your fingertips.

You couldn't hope for a better start to your day - or to your holiday.

Restaurants
Garden Restaurant – Dinner is served 5pm to 10pm
The restaurant is huge with plenty of tables for all party sizes, and the menu is just as big. You've got your classic burgers and curries but also a nice choice of healthy options with salads filled with superfoods and tasty veggies.
Don't forget dessert – the lemon meringue cheesecake is *chef's kiss*.
Yokozuna Japanese Steakhouse – Sunday to Wednesday 5pm to 9.45pm. Thursday to Saturday 5pm to 10.45pm.
For something different than the usual, it's a bit on the pricier side but worth it for unique flavour combos. And it's not just steak, there are burgers, grilled aubergine and even mac and cheese.
Bars
Amy's Bar – 9am to midnight from Monday to Sunday, and 10am to midnight on Sundays.
Right at the heart of the hotel in the wide-open atrium, Amy's Bar offers cafe vibes during the day with coffees, teas, cakes, snacks and light meals. In the evening you can look forward to your favourite beer on tap, wines by the glass or bottle, and even specialist cocktails.
Charlie Fry's sports bar – 5pm to 11pm
Just off Garden Restaurant, Charlie Fry's is a bit more intimate but absolutely full of atmosphere. It's sports themed but with a big focus on cricket, and you can have dinner here too if you're after something more casual.
Breakfast
Garden Restaurant – 5.30am to 10.30am
Pile your plate full at the buffet with a mix of full English, continental and American-style breakfast favourites like pancakes and waffles. If you're after something a bit lighter go for fresh fruit or cereal with yoghurt, or a cheeky pastry or two – there's plenty to choose from. Don't forget to add your choice of coffee, tea and juice too.
Plus there's a selection of dairy-free and meat-free alternatives to make your breakfast exactly how you like it.
Things to do
There's a gym which guests can use for free. There are free weights, cardio machines and towels.
Sustainability
The Hilton brand is on the road to a greener future, with a mission to reduce emissions by 75% by 2030.
At the Hilton Gatwick this means reducing water consumption and using renewable energy as much as possible. They source their food locally and responsibly where they can and provide plant-based food alternatives.
There's a zero single-use policy meaning the toiletries in your en suite are refilled daily and not in mini, travel-size bottles.
Good to know
Cots – Family rooms don't have space for a cot and you can't bring your own. If you need a cot book an interconnecting family room for five people to make sure there's enough space. If not, you'll be charged £60 when you arrive to be upgraded to a five-person room.
