Quick guide: The Europa Gatwick Hotel is not what you would expect as a gatwick airport hotel. It is built the style of a hacienda, centred around a garden and a water feature with carp and goldfish. Inside exposed timber ceilings are mixed with terrazzo and marble features to complement this style.
Also known as the Britannia Europa Hotel Gatwick (which is a bit of a mouthful), this low rise, 3 star hotel with 211 bedrooms. Expect to pay from £49 room only and £69 including 8 or 15 days free airport parking.

We like (about the gatwick europa): competitive prices, the design and feel of the hotel is nothing like a 'normal' airport hotel and the free shuttle bus is unusual for a gatwick hotel too.
We don't like (about the gatwick europa): you pay to use the pool and gym.
