Hi, I’m Kate Jarvis, one of Holiday Extras’ dedicated team who try every hotel we recommend. I’ve 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. Isn’t 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 you’re driving to the airport, the Hilton couldn’t 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 you’d prefer to park your own car, we have a secured car park at Gatwick South terminal, which is a very short bus ride away. If you’re coming by public transport the Hilton is a five-minute walk from the station, undercover all the way.

Top quality facilities

The Gatwick Hilton has two excellent restaurants, two relaxing bars, a Costa coffee shop, a business centre and a gym. What’s more, each of the more than 800 rooms at the Hilton Gatwick has internet access, satellite TV and pay-per-view movies. The only problem you’ll have is finding the time for it all before you fly off on holiday.

Hilton Hotel is all that you need and more before going on holiday

Bedrooms at the Gatwick Hilton

The first thing you’ll notice about your room at the Gatwick Hilton is the peace and quiet. Even though there’s an airport right outside your windows, those windows are soundproofed and triple-glazed so you can watch the planes taking off and landing without hearing a thing.

A standard room that tops all standards

We’ve tried it ourselves and not only do you get a great night’s sleep, you get a surprise in the morning when you remember you’re right in the middle of one of the world’s busiest airports.

The room was excellent with the added bonus of being in the airport

The rooms are everything you’d expect from a Hilton – warm, elegant and sumptuously comfortable with every possible convenience at your fingertips.

Every room has an en-suite bathroom with La Source toiletries, a plasma screen TV with pay-per-view movies, internet access, a telephone, a radio and MP3 player dock, a hairdryer, tea and coffee and air conditioning.

Double rooms

Standard double rooms at the Gatwick Hilton are large and luxurious at 23m2. Quiet, comfortable and very spacious for two, these beautiful rooms come with every modern convenience as standard. Relax with a book in the easy chair, spread your belongings out on the desk and sink blissfully into the big double bed at the end of the day.

Family rooms

The Hilton’s Deluxe Family Rooms are even more spacious at 52m² and have a large family bathroom and loads of storage. Deluxe Family Rooms come with one double and two single beds, and there’s also the option of adding a cot or a roll-out bed so you can comfortably fit in up to three kids as well as mum and dad.

The Gatwick Hilton also offers Compact Family Rooms, which are still much larger than the standard doubles at 32m2. Compact Family Rooms have one double bed and two bunks, so there's plenty of space for two adults and two children.

Finally, the Hilton has a number of Family Interconnecting Rooms which are perfect for parents who want to keep the kids near at hand but enjoy some privacy for themselves.

The Gatwick Hilton also offers triple rooms with three single beds, which are suitable for three adults.

The atmosphere is friendly and the bar staff very accommodating – we asked them to change channels for the football one evening and they were happy to switch one of the TVs over for the match.
