Cheap Hotels Near Gatwick Airport

Gatwick Airport, located 28 miles south of London, is generally accessible by train and bus from central London within 30 to 45 minutes; however, the distance might serve as an encouragement to stay at or near the airport during a long layover or before flights at odd hours. Although a few hotels are adjacent to the airport terminals, their prices are out of the range of budget travelers. Walk or take a short shuttle ride to arrive at these lower-cost hotels, all of which offer rooms ranging from about £30 to £60 per night.

A shuttle runs 24 hours a day to and from the airport for an extra charge.
