  • 4/5 The Foodie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect location! Easy to find in a great location, perfectly placed just down the road is Gatwick south terminal. Literally a one stop shop... bed, breakfast, transfers to and back from the airport and parking while away. I've stayed here twice now, with a third already booked for next year! We received a warm friendly welcome from check in staff, who checked us in and gave us our room keys promptly on arrival. It was the hottest day of the year, but I was delighted to find a fan in our family room. The rooms are a good size though and beds very comfortable, clean and in good condition. Good size TV and usual amenities as you expect on a desk area with kettle and tea/coffee. There is a petrol station just down the road within a few minutes walk, for any drinks or scooby snacks. There is plenty of parking spaces within the courtyard front entrance and rear additional car park. The whole building wraps around the corner plot with lots of rooms on different levels in the main building and annexe. There's a great bar and guest lounge and the dining room for breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and very tasty. My only feedback is... Noise... it's a little noisy in bedrooms at the front of the building with windows open, people coming and going outside at all times kept waking me up. Shower... our shower head fixture was broken, the first shower it fell down on their head and the rest of us had it at chest height while trying to wash my hair!

    Excellent, friendly and bed was so comfy, didn't want to get up next morning! One piece of advice tho...... if you are staying over to fly out the next morning change your flight time so that you can enjoy the tasty breakfast. It was lovely!

    Stayed here before our flight the next day. Great location in terms of airport. This hotel let's you leave your car there and provides a shuttle service to and from the airport. Our loft room was fabulous. The staff especially Kevin were all so very friendly and welcoming. 100% recommend to others and I will certainly stay here again. Thank you Corner House for making our stay brilliant.

    Absolutely loved our stay here even though it was brief. It had a real family run feel and the staff were very welcoming. Great value for money and so much better than the big chain hotels.... Would highly recommend!! 100% will stay here again if flying from Gatwick

    I had Room 9 up a lot of steep stairs but it was fine and spacious. Staff are amazing, they all seem to have several jobs and pop up everywhere! Very early transfer (3.30 am) worked well too. I shall return as I can no longer afford the on-airport ridiculous prices!

    Convenient and comfortable hotel if you are flying in/out of Gatwick. The shuttle was easy to use and the various staff members very friendly. My room was clean and worked great for a 1 night stay.

    Excellent value for somewhere so close to Gatwick airport. Very friendly, helpful staff. Good home cooked food in the restaurant. Cottage pie heartily recommended. Large, clean comfortable room with modern bathroom

  • 4/5 Madeleine H. 1 year ago on Google
    The cleanliness and service really stand out at this small hotel. The room we stayed in was very small but serviceable and extremely clean. The room needs a few shelves to help with organization... especially in the bathroom. The main negative is the very noisy road on each side of the hotel. Traffic can be heard all night. The bar and restaurant are a nice addition with good food and outstanding service. The dinner time period is a little restrictive since people are coming and going to the airport and may need a slightly earlier time to eat. Overall, highly recommended.

    We stayed only one night because it was for the transfer from London to the airport. So perfect place near the Gatwick airport. The receptionist has been very kind and professionnal with us. A lovely welcoming, the best in London. Room are very clean and recent. Thank you for all, definitly recommended by myself !

    I stayed for one night and it was lovely. I really liked the kindness at the reception, at the airport transfer and at breakfast, especially by Abby and Lada (I don't know if I wrote their names correctly). I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends.

    Beds weren’t very comfortable the pillows were very flat and uncomfortable, the mattress was lumpy, however the bed sheets were very soft and comfy. Our room was quite loud as we were facing the road. The shower was unusable as the pressure was so weak it was just dripping out the shower head. The rooms were very clean and the tv worked but is quite dated. Food was delicious but took a while to get served and about 45 mins for the food to be brung out. The staff at the front desk were lovely and helpful, they dropped us to the airport which was very easy and efficient

    The staff are friendly but I'd avoid room 15. You get all the noise from the kitchen. Other than that, it was fine and had all the amenities you'd expect plus serveral public buses run along that road to Horley and Gatwick. It was clean and the food served was good. The rooms are a bit on the small side though.

    12/10 perfect stay for an overnight layover. So grateful for Mo, who was kind enough to give our family a ride from/to the airport. He went absolutely above and beyond to make my family feel comfortable. We could not recommend this place more.

  • 5/5 Carol V. 7 months ago on Google
    Just the best stop for getting an early flight to Gatwick and leaving your car. Great minibus service to the airport. Not worked out collection yet as we're still away 😂 but I'm sure it will be fine 😁😊

  • 5/5 Jennifer K. 8 months ago on Google
    This was the perfect place to overnight before our early flight out of Gatwick. We had dinner at the little restaurant and it was very good. There is a shuttle to the airport every half hour.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth C. 9 months ago on Google
    I had a fantastic 1-night stay! The staff were super friendly and the atmosphere felt homey and gave a modern cottage-type vibe. It is a family-owned place so it feels much more comfortable and less sterile than a regular hotel. They provide an airport shuttle for a fee 50% less than a taxi would charge and the drive to Gatwick takes just over 5 minutes. The room was clean and lovely-smelling body/hair wash provided. They have a restraunt where you can get food almost any time of day/night. The room had a fan and several outlets for all your charging needs. Only downside was that my room (no. 18) was up 2 sets of steep stairs so it was a bit difficult with a large suitcase, but I should have checked that before booking. I would certainly stay again. The room was close to the road, but was surprisingly quiet with the windows closed.

    Great place for overnight getting to Gatwick Airport. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious using high quality products. It was great value for money. The Airport pick up and drop off was excellent.

  • 5/5 Richard B. 8 months ago on Google
    Great hotel, service and food. We (family of 4) stayed the night before an early departure and everyone we met were polite and courteous. Shuttle service to airport only 5 minutes and the return journey seemless. We will stay here again next year.

    I am very surprised that this is a 3 star hotel. I regret not spending a bit more money and stay at a better place. I barely got any sleep during the two nights I was staying here. The first night I unwillingly listened to this old British neighbour tattletale till wee hours because the wall is so thin, and then someone at 4AM running up and down the stairs because they are checking out. On the second night, a different guy was banging the doors and talking really loudly well past midnight. An old woman from a different room finally had enough of it and told him to “shut up and stop banging the door”. I think the problem is with the structure of the hotel. They shouldn’t make the room bangs so loudly when closing and the wall so thin. Besides the lack of sleep, my keycard didn’t work, so I had to run in the pouring rain to the main hotel twice to get it sorted. On my first night, the room was freezing cold because some maid in the morning turned off the heat, it took almost 1 hour before they figured it out and turn on my heat. The restaurant on premise was also very slow. It took them an hour before serving the food (I really regret not walking 4min to a pub close by. I was famished and tired, all I wanted to do is eat and sleep). Furthermore, there was blood on the duvet cover (see photo attached). The toilet doesn’t flush properly so there are almost residue from the previous use. I really regretted my stay.

    Great hotel close to Gatwick airport. I missed my connecting evening flight back home from LGW, so I had to spend the night there. Happy that I found this hotel. Booked a room via their website, called the hotel to send an airport shuttle, and within 25 minutes I checked in my room. Slept well!

    Comfortable room. Clean. Convenient location to Gatwick airport. Affordable airport shuttle and long stay car parking facility. Meals available. Friendly and competent staff.

  • 4/5 L W. 1 year ago on Google
    I had to find a quiet space to have a meeting. Traffic meant heading home was not an option from Gatwick. So we ended up here. We booked a room which was quite nice (but expensive for the the time we needed it for). The room was compact but very clean and tidy.

  • 5/5 Deborah D. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this by default. We'd booked elsewhere but when calling to confirm one night stay n parking, the day before arrival was told although he remembered booking had forgotten to write in book. How professional?! Was recommended to try The Corner House. Fortunately they were able to accommodate us and parking. What a find. So impressed with cleanliness, food and service. Nothing too much trouble. Beverage tray in room. Only had to ask for extra sugar etc., Shower and products so good. Exceptionally clean. Bar had great atmosphere. Food basic in bar but cooked fresh. Restaurant food looked delicious but we only wanted snack from bar. Paid £10 each way, to n from airport. Very efficient. Everything about this establishment was above good HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

  • 5/5 Y B. 10 months ago on Google
    Just a few mins from Gatwick Airport and local shops retaurants and bars. They provide a half hourly transport service for small charge and on site car parking. Really friendly and helpful staff. Lovely bar area and restaurant serving breakfast and evening meals. We stopped in one of the outside block rooms. Comfy, fresh decor with tea and coffee facilities. No air con, but pedestal fan provided I room.

  • 5/5 Ma K. 1 year ago on Google
    Super hotel. For me the best option to visit London or even stay close the airport. Buses often and close the hotel. We stayed on the top floor and the room was superb. Big and super comfortable bed. Good breakfast and excellent atmosphere 👌

  • 3/5 Theresa M. 1 year ago on Google
    Small rooms very handy for airport breakfast fine. Just remember if you are traveling solo £20 for transfer bus. But it your a family it's per room. I could of stayed in one of the airport hotels for around the same price as their shuttle bus service is free.

  • 5/5 Susie K. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I booked in for Xmas dinner and we also decided to arrive early and have drinks before hand. Absolutely stunnning food. And the wine is just simply fab. All the staff are amazing and attentive. Highly recommend.

  • 1/5 James W. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked after seeing very good reviews online. Booked for a night and 7 days car parking as was going on holiday. When I turned up I had to drive the car round the back where multiple cars was inches from each other. Literally no room for my car so had to block in other cars. Then was told I had to fill in a form to agree that any damages to my car while away isn't the hotels fault but please leave your car keys with them as they need to move it. I worried while on holiday knowing my car was left in that carpark. £9 a day parking too for that! Hotel is very dated and was dirty. Me and my wife slept on top of the covers with our clothes as didn't smell clean. Took 20 minutes to find my keys. Avoid. Pay extra and stay elsewhere.
