Lovely hotel. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Parking experience extremely satisfactory we only had to wait minutes to get the car delivered to the airport after our flight and it was taken from the hotel after we checked in and parked easily at the front. Room very nice and clean. Hotel very airy and comfortable and of a really good standard all round.

I dont think any aspect of our stay could have been improved. Absolutely perfect for our pre flight stay but it would be an excellent choice for a longer stay as well.

The hotel was clean with excellent eating facilities. Bedrooms clean and good size. Underground car parking fab especially as heavy snow at time of travel. Mini bus transfer very efficient and I was only person in return leg. Also kept my own car keys. I would definitely used the Arora again.

did not realise until we landed that transfer coaches do not run after 10pm at night so the hotel got us a taxi. Having complained about this the taxi arrived quickly and the hotel had got us a good price. Many thanks

I was so impressed with my stay at the Arora Int. I stayed for one night before collecting my parents from an early flight in to Gatwick. The rooms were clean, modern and nice and dark at night. The view from my window was internal and overlooked the bar/lounge area which I liked. The gym was basic but had reasonably hi-tech machines. I ate in the Italian restaurant where I was slightly disappointed with the food (which was very expensive). I used the well stocked shop which was useful. The car park was expensive (£10 for an overnight stay, but considering how secure it was, it wasn't too unreasonable, however if I had paid more than the £40 rate for my room I would have been more upset by this amount.
The hotel and the car park were both secure and I felt very safe there as a young female guest on my own.
It took me about 10-15 minutes to get to Gatwick in the morning, but I was held up at a level crossing.
I'd defintely stay here again and book through gosimply.com. A perfect budget hotel stay for the night before an early flight.
On check in, I noticed several pilots and air hostesses checking out, so it probably books up fast.
