All the bed clothing is cheap.shower was blocked so unhygienic way to take shower .reception is not 24 hours so could not report to any one 6.30 in morning about the issue as getting late for airport.did report later but instead of getting an apology and refund owner refuse to apologies and apparently we should report the issue to non existent reception staff and should check the plumbing in the night before talking the room .it was only 12 pounds cheaper then travel lodge which is far better option and same distance from airport and 24 hour reception.so will not recommend.also rooms are very very small
Blocked shower in  room very unhygienic

Good stay, walked from LGW to the lodge, then back in the morning (personally wouldn’t recommend most doing this I just like walking). Bed was comfy, lodge was very close to several places to eat.

Staff member was friendly and explained everything clearly. He helped me with my luggage which was nice as the stairs are quite steep and narrow. Room was good but bathroom was tiny, I thought I had booked shared bathroom but had my own but there was no room to manoeuvre. I had a shower and the water pressure was good but the walls were wet from humidity as extraction was a bit weak. The toilet was very close to the wall so was uncomfortable and you got a cold wet leg. Heating in room was good and you could turn it up or down as needed, but the bathroom was cold. Very close to restaurants and public transportation.

Breakfast was as advertised, continental one. The room was quiet and tidy. The staff was kind. For the services required, it was pretty good. I rested well and prepared for the following day. I recommend the place. If you travel from or to Gatwick apparently there is a bus nearby that goes from to the airport, or by taxi.

Great host. Clean and spacious room. Wish there was something to hang clothes/jackets. Quiet and safe neighborhood, could get really dark if walking at night. Walkable to pubs/ restaurants and grocery stores. Convenient bus stop direct to airport. Highly recommend Gainsborough Lodge.

Melissa

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was freezing when I got in despite answering your numerous emails about my arrival time. The room should have been warm. Then I thought I had figured it out and turned it on but while I was sleeping it was cold and I woke up shivering. I shouldn’t have to go to the front desk to ask how to put heat on! Since no one is even at the front desk unless I ring for them, it is quite a hassle for a tired guest. Leave instructions for the heat or better yet just put the heat on yourselves!
