Europa Gatwick Hotel & Spa

Nice breakfast and bar area. Plenty of parking available

Very good night stay, checked in when got there on Saturday and went and chilled in room for a bit until went to go down to the pool for the doors to be closed at 18:35 but people still swimming in there so, I asked reception and the lady said last entry is 18:15 with it closing at 7pm on a Saturday, had they told us that when checking in we’d of gone and made the most of it until 7. Went to the bar and got some dinner later that evening and the food was decent for the price with a variety of options before returning back to our room and had a decent night sleep with no complaints. Woke up in the morning and we didn’t choose to add breakfast for £11 pp as they told us when checking in that we’d have to be down for breakfast by 08:45 and with it being Mother’s sunday and the clocks going forward there was no way we was getting there so decided we’d have a lay in and check out of our room by 11am then hit the sauna, steam room and pool after which was very good, relaxing and made us feel very fresh. A hotel room welcome pack would be ideal for guests with all the information in, e.g closing times of spindles pool and gym and food times served. Also staff in bar area very moody

The room was smell of damp no heating on it was freezing cold weather only the location was good rest was terrible

I don't understand the negative reviews on here. It's a beautiful hotel with a lot of intricate furnishings to make a feel like a European lodge. The room was spacious and clean. The water pressure was super strong, so it did spray out of the sink, but the shower was great. It's not far from the airport, but it's not really close to anything of note. However, since we had no plans really, we just walked to downtown Crawley through all the charming neighborhoods and footpaths and had nice afternoon eating fresh blackberries from the path and doing a Pub Crawl(ey). Once back to the hotel, there's a wonderful large grassy area the kids ran around in all evening while I drank ice cold pints from the bar. It was perfect.

I had read a number of quite poor reviews so was a little dubious - parking was said to be an issue but we had no problem's. Cleanliness was also flagged but again everywhere was fine - yes the place would benefit from a freshen up but it was absolutely fine. Also had read the beds were awful but I slept like a log and the breakfast we got included in the price was decent too. WiFi wasn't available in the room for free which does feel a bit poor these days and use of pool etc also carries a charge which was unexpected. Overall fit for purpose if the location works for you

Wow amazing hotel very nice friendly staff very clean and warm room. Will stay again 👍
