Holiday Extras Hotel Reviewer
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.

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.

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.
