That is such a great location and the rooms look lovely too! X

Obviously you "pay" a full rack rate but if you've nothing better to spend them on we consider it a free stay. Includes a good buffet breakfast but sadly not dinner

To me it would feel like a free stay too 😃 Will see how many we've got by next year I think it's at £30 worth now! Hubby wants to use them for Christmas but I would rather save them for the hotel! X

Have you done it before? If not don't bother phoning as most of the call centre staff have no idea what you're talking about.

Go on the Gatwick Hilton site itself (not a 3rd party site) and enter promo code PR20TC. They usually show 6 months out.

Think it was roughly £65 per couple.
Just had a look at this hotel it is gorgeous! We can't decide whether to drive to Gatwick or to get the bus I would prefer to drive as we'll get back quicker on the return but I know how tired I get coming back! X

We always do it the wrong way round but it always seems to work. We book the room first then redeem the Deals.

I think Tesco say to redeem the Deals first.

  • Bloc Hotel: This is inside the south terminal itself (just beyond/behind M&S) and very convenient. Stayed there once (2016), staying again in November (2017).
  • Hilton: Just outside the terminal but direct walkway access. Stayed here once (2014, on our honeymoon).

They're all very good, but not quite as cheap as the Premier Inn deals you can get (you should be able to find offers between £60-£70 for a double room).
They are good prices aswell and great locations, have written these down in my planning book thank you x

Wow that's a good deal, did you book this through the site? X
