Gatwick airport hotel - cheapest/cleanest

[Diesel_Staffie]

We usually stay in premier inn but that’s from Manchester. We will be going with BA from Gatwick this time. Any idea on the cheapest hotel to book? Thank you 😊

We really like the Premier Inn at the North terminal. We’ve stayed at a lot of onsite hotels but this tends to be cheap, great location ;-)

Cheapest is definitely the Hilton on the south terminal which is "free" if you have enough Tesco Deals. Done it about 6 or 7 times. Not really free of course as you "pay" the equivalent exchange rate of £3 to £1 in Deals. Includes breakfast.

If I'm paying with real money I've found nothing cheaper that the Premier Inn literally over the road from North terminal. Paid £28, £38 and £55 over the past few years. Room only rate.

It doesn't matter which terminal you fly from. They are connected by an APM taking a couple of minutes.

Oh this sounds good, my husband fills the work van up so we get lots of Tesco points. So do you have to change your points first then book the hotel?

I’ve seen the premier inn but there is lots of them there isn’t there, the north one is £105!

Have a look at the Airport Way premier inn as well it is apparently only a short walk from the Premier North.

Travelodge isn't walkable but fits cheapest even including the transfer and is sparkling , we paid £29 at Easter and they even had an egg hunt set up for the kids. I find Premier Inn a bit claustrophobic so actually prefer travelodge.

You don't say when you're going but Hilton only display their Tesco rates around 6 months out maximum. You need to do it through Tesco/Hilton and not through Tesco/Hotels.com. Doing it through Hilton you get breakfast and all taxes included unlike Hotels where you have to pay taxes.

Expect to "pay" the full rack rate. For instance if the room is £135 you'll need £45 in Deals.

Go on to the Hilton Gatwick site (don't ring as no call centre staff will know what you're talking about) and enter promo code PR20TC on your dates. You need to book it and go on to the Tesco/Hilton site to get detailed instructions about redeeming Deals.

You'll then get an emailed voucher code from Tesco which you present at check-in

We always use the Premier Inn on Airport Way 5 minutes from the terminal. In January I got 4 rooms for £32.50 per room for next weeks sleepover. Keep checking as their rooms do go down in price. You just have to catch them at the right time. I was checking every morning and evening. The meal deal is good too. All you can eat brekkie and a 2 course dinner with a drink for £24.99. Good food, clean hotel, and comfy beds. We've done it half a dozen times at least.
