I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel with an impressive atmosphere and outstanding dining experience, especially thanks to the lovely meal we had in the restaurant. However, I faced quite a challenge with the parking service both during drop-off and pick-up, which left me disappointed.

Staying at the Sofitel Gatwick Hotel was a great experience overall. The staff were attentive and accommodating, which made our stay enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and clean, although the bathtub was quite small. The dining options were good, particularly the breakfast offerings, but I wish there had been more diversity. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're flying out of Gatwick, thanks to the seamless airport access, but the room size could use improvement.
