Radisson RED London Gatwick Airport

10/10 Excellent
"I travel a lot and I am usually a bit wary of near-airport hotels, but this experience was really good. It's a shuttle-bus ride from the front of Gatwick South Terminal - maybe a 10-minute ride to get there, but only a few minutes to get back from the hotel to the airport. Check-in was immediate - no waiting whatsoever - and my room was very good indeed, with everything that I needed, and it was quiet. I had a drink and dinner in the bar area - normal "British pub" type of food. The shuttle bus back to the airport the next day was exactly on time."

Additionally, you might want to check out cultural events like opera performances or visit a spa for some relaxation. With these attractions, Lewes offers great value for money, especially for those on a budget.

Be flexible with dates: Prices can vary based on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so being flexible with your dates might help you save on your stay at a Lewes hotel.
