Gatwick Hotel & Parking

I am flying from Gatwick in November and wondered whether anyone had any suggestions for a hotel before our flight and if possible, for it to include parking?

    If flying from the North terminal then the Premier Inn is ideal. It's directly opposite departures and you can get valet parking included. There are other Premier Inns and Travelodges at Gatwick which may be cheaper but they are further away and need a bus transfer.

    Otherwise, for other hotels and B&Bs with parking in the area try http://www.holidayextras.co.uk/

    Have a look at hotels and B&B's in Horley on tripadvisor. Many include parking and will take you to the airport which is a 5 min drive.

    A couple of years ago we had a very good deal at the North Terminal Sofitel which included a week's parking.

    Have to agree with Premier Inn North Terminal plus valet parking. We use it even when flying from South terminal.

    Thanks everyone. Unfortunately we are flying from South Terminal. I did look at holiday extras but because I hadn't heard about it before I wasn't too sure.

    You can walk into north terminal from the prem inn then use the free monorail thing to take you into south which takes no time at all really.

    Holiday extras are fine, have used them loads.

    We stayed at gatwick hilton last year as flight so early we wanted the closest possible, this year we are staying at premier inn north despite our flight being from south as it is only an extra few minutes on journey time ( and half the price of the hilton which was really poor anyway). It's £80 for room and 8 days valet parking, I can't see us getting better onsite value.

    Holiday Extras is fine. I've used it for parking and airport hotels loads of times and have never had a problem. If you book through Quidco you can get 10% or more cash back: http://www.quidco.com/holiday-extras/
