Flexistay Ambers Gatwick Aparthotel

Chose this place due to the proximity to Gatwick airport, I’d never stay again though! What a complete dive! From not receiving an email with the codes for self check in to the rude staff member who answered the door buzzer to the appalling condition of the room I’m glad I’ve left! The room itself was the worst thing. The carpet is stained beyond belief, the bathroom stinks of mould, the furniture is in need of repair and if you want any kind of good sleep think again as you can hear a mouse breathe the walls are so thin! Arrived mega early due to my flight time and couldn’t believe how much of an apparent inconvenience this caused. No staff til about 10 when a guy appeared who didn’t speak much English and dumped my suitcase in the ‘office’ (a cupboard). After finding absolutely nothing to do in Horley returning to the hotel I’m met with ‘yeah we’ll check in ain’t til 2’ - I mention I don’t have my codes or anything yet and I’m told they aren’t sent out til 5? What’s the point in check in being at 2 then?? The kitchen area is passable as is the communal lounge area but trying to sleep was impossible due to the arrival of guests who hadn’t (like me!) been sent any instructions on self check in. No answer at Oyo’s office - nothing! Spend the extra £30/£40 and get yourself a proper decent hotel!

We only stayed to get to the airport early in the morning. It was very convenient. Only a 10-minute bus ride, and the bus was frequent. The room and bathroom were clean. Getting into the property was a bit of a hassle but they emailed me how to get in and there was a person on intercom readily available for me to talk to. The breakfast was wonderful! They had a range of food and a kitchen to cook everything for yourself. Everything was labelled, so I had no problem finding the cutlery. You had to wash up yourself, but what do you expect? I had a wonderful stay and a wonderful breakfast. Would stay here again if I travel from Gatwick airport.

Beware! I got bitten during the night by BED BUGS! 19 bites and extremely itchy! I wasn’t willing to stay the other 3 nights. In the end, I had to find alternative, which meant extra expenses. I called hotel.com and they managed to get me a refund for 2 nights from the hotel. I think ought to have been refunded for all nights considering the night mare I went through!

This hotel is a walking distance ( approx. 35 minutes via a nice park and residential area) from Gatwick airport. It has a communal kitchen and a dinning area. It offers all-day breakfast (eggs, milk, juice, serial, bread). Very friendly and helpful staff on-site! However the hotel is very very basic (which was fine for 1 night between my flights).

The carpet was very dirty. When flushing the toilet very noisy.

Practical, good value, convenient for outside meals & airport.

Clean Kitchen and food is good But washroom is very small

Easy check-in. Conveniently close to Gatwick Airport. Very clean.

Bed very uncomfortable. Didn’t see any staff at all. Adequate for an early flight from Gatwick.

Conveniently situated for airport. Could have benefited from a bedside lamp but apart from that all good.
