I was apprehensive about booking this hotel due to some very negative reviews on the website, but due to short notice and availabilty of other accommodation in the area, I had little choice. I was pleasantly surprised by the attitude of the staff and the accommodation. Although a little old fashioned by today's standards, the rooms and general areas were clean and well looked after, although the decor was a little tired. (97319129)

positive comments Helpful staff, meals available in the bar till 10.30.
negative comments Entrance from the roundabout is not easy to find as it is not clearly signposted as the Ramada. The sign just says hotel entrance and the building is not easily seen from the road and it is an awkward turn off into the hotel car park.

DAVID KEITH from ST HELIER,JERSEY, GB (Group of work colleagues) 19 January 2008

Gym and pool area very small and in need of upgrading, this was not reflected in hotel advert, hotel very expensive for what you get. This Hotel is advertised as Airport Hotel but is quite a difference away, this is not reflected in the price. (97706766)

positive comments comfortable hotel
negative comments food disappointing. evening meal small portions and overpriced. breakfast disappointing, scrambled eggs cold, asked for some fresh, waited about 10mins and cook produced a runny substance which would have given us salmonella. complained at the time.

Tim from albuquerque, US (Mature couple) 07 January 2008

Unfortunately the hotel was having boiler problems so we did not have hot water to shower with in the morning, not a very pleasant experience. Other than that the room was clean, beds were comfortable and the staff were very nice. The location is close to Gatwick and easy to find. It was worth paying the extra fee for breakfast. (97668684)

positive comments Good Location close to Gatwick easy to find. Room was clean
negative comments Didn't have coffee or tea making equipment in the room and there was a 10 pound minimum charge for a pot of tea through room service.

Excellent overall, only a slight problem on checkin due to a Maestro card. Sorted out eventually but at 10pm after a 16 hour day it would've been nice if the check-in clerk had been more switched on. (97902541)

positive comments Clean and fresh room, very quiet indeed. All the facilities you need in a room, even a flatscreen television.

Apart from the heating/generator noise which ruined my nights sleep, the hotel was clean, had good fascilities and parking with a good gym/leisure fascility. The staff were very helpful and polite. Unfortunately never had chance to eat there but the menus looked good. (97094311)

positive comments good staff, clean hotel and room, good gym facility, value for money good parking.
negative comments I stayed in a top floor room in your gatwick hotel and even with the heating turned as low as it could go it was uncomfartably hot, also it sounded like some kind of generator was going all night and this made my nights sleep extremely uncomfortable.

Quite poor. Certainly will not stay there again. Will think twice before using any Ramada thanks to our experiences at the Gatwick Ramada Plaza. Very disappointing. (97299357)

positive comments Clean. Large room
negative comments Aircon worked poorly. Room had an odd smell. Fire doors and entrance doors are very inconvenient to people who have baggage, who are precisely the type of people who tend to visit hotels. The hotel shuttle was highly unreliable.

Very clean hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Room quiet, with no traffic noise. Good facilities. Restaurant was full, so had to eat in the bar, but food was good. Should book a table for dinner next time. The only minus point was the charge for airport transfer - other hotels and B&Bs include that for free! (99023683)

positive comments Quiet - no traffic noise; friendly staff; clean hotel; non-smoking.
negative comments Noisy air conditioning fan.

the hotel is in fair reach of gatwick airport which was our reason for booking.The hotel was great apart from lack of small maintenance problems and non thorough cleanliness of chair in room. (99404707)

positive comments very modern hotel with a relaxed atmosphere,with good leisure facilities.
negative comments after several minutes of being in the room,soon noticed that the bathroom door handle was broken.also one of the chairs in the room had dried food or something unpleasant left on the armrest.

I booked a double bed on line and got a a room with two singles. I also got an excuse for that. Something about too many computer inputs. The wait to check in and check out, to mail letters, anything was (99255988)

negative comments The room was too hot and no one would fix it or give me another room. They brought me a fan. There were no facial tissues. The box was empty. The phone in the room could not be used to make international calls so I had to call the front desk to make a call.

The hotel is of a high standard and being right on the North Terminal is a high plus, which is the main reason we have stayed here before, particularly so for early departures and late arrival of flights. The foyer and lobby areas areb impressive for an out of London hotel and the restaurants and bars are excellent with staff extremely attentive to customer needs. (99061879)

positive comments Our room was functional, comfortable and spacious.
negative comments The refrigerator was not working so I couldn't get a cold drink within the room - I didn't inform the reception desk until the next day as I was tired after a long day travelling also it wasn't a major problem. However, I did pass it over to reception on checking out the next morning, to ensure it was rectified before the next customer came.

I would recommend this hotel to everyone, even for more than 1 or 2 nights. My stay was like I thought it will be. (99063744)

positive comments The rooms are quite big and very nice, the breakfast is good and the staff was friendly. I can say that because I stayed in 4 different hotels arround Gatwick in the last 6 months and I would always recommend the Ramada. Even the Prices on the weekend are for UK cheap
negative comments The swimming pool had too much Chlor inside. We had for two people less towels after the first day and the Internet in the room wasnt working, but the staff was very helpfull and solved everything immediately.

We would definately use this hotel again and would be interested to know if they do parking packages with overnight accommodation as we sometimes fly from Gatwick but live in Cardiff. (99324759)

positive comments The overall feel of the hotel was clean and bright. Rooms were comfortable and we were able to control the heating ourselves so the room didn't get too hot which is usually the case with a lot of hotels. Reception staff and waiting staff were all very courteous and ready to help. Overall, it was well worth the &69 for bed and breakfast for the two of us.
negative comments We would have liked the shower water to be a bit hotter. We were unable to alter the temperature so presumably it is pre-set at an average level to be safely used by everyone. However, this didn't detract anything from the overall comfort.
