The car park was atrocious you needed Wellington boots to get through, it was chaotic with no organisation, people just dumped their cars anywhere. Hotel was OK but encountered very rude reception staff who refused to book our car in and threatened to fine using we left the car, fortunately FHR who were brilliant sorted this by contacting the hotel manager. Room smelled fusty and had cleaners knocking on our door before 9am. I would not use this hotel again.

The Europa is a Britannia Hotel, and like the others I've stayed in is a bit run down and unloved, but cheap. Parking is fine so it does offer a budget Hotel + Park option for Gatwick, although you need to factor in at least £35 return for taxi fares. I'd probably stay there again but not under any illusion that it'll be part of the holiday to look forward to

Arrived very late but was greeted with a smile (which was nice after a long day) 1st time I've had a room on the 1st floor, the room was the nicest I've stayed in at the hotel. I've stayed many times before. Clean, tidy, comfy bed and everything we needed for a nights stay after leaving the car while on holiday

There was a receptionist who was particularly unpleasant to a couple in the queue in front of us which was quite embarrassing and made me feel very uncomfortable. The rooms are very ‘tired’ our bath plug hole was full of hair ( not mine). The parking areas were over grown with vegetation and generally unkept, which is a shame. The breakfast was fine with a good choice. As it was just overnight it was tolerable but I was concerned for my vehicle being left there and would not choose to stay there again.

A once very nice hotel let down by management. Not quite as bad as we expected after reading the reviews. But a weird hotel with some guests who were building site workers nothing at all wrong with them but the place felt more like a hostel rooms were rather grand I suspect In their day and the aricitetual design of the place was rather nice but sadly management or lack of management over the years have allowed it to look like it needs a lot of love and care . Rooms were cleaned to the best of their ability but comunial areas were dirty.they have a strict check in at 4pm policy so on our outbound journey we found it almost laughable that arriving at approx 4.40 we were refused check in and told to wait in the bar which also didn't open till 4pm the place on our outbound was full of what a staff member later described as travelers looking for work large groups of women and children running and shouting all over the place. At four check in opened . The corridors to our first room which was an upgraded executive room smelled terrible of stale smoke and cheap air freashner, quite vile this was continued into the room. Our return the room in the none smoking area (who is this day and age have smoking areas inside a hotel) was much better still the cheap smell of air freashner but not so bad as the first. Overall the place was cheap we still had a car in our return and the sheets and towels were clean . Would we return I really doubt it I'd rather feel double and feel good about myself. Breakfast on our return was ok but no covid safe precautions whatsoever. Three course dinner on our outbound journey again cheap at I think 12.00 per person for three course but the food was freezing and chicken leg is hardly the the the making of a meal out. We declined the chicken leg but the table next to ours didn't, apparently it was raw.

For a simple 'Park and fly' set up this hotel fits the bill very well. Not too far from the airport, plenty of space to park cars, and the rooms are comfortable and spacious - all for a reasonable price. The hotel could do with modernising and sprucing up, but for its main service its a good option that we would use again.

when i arrived at the hotel they did not have a record of my reservation and said that the email confirmation that i had with the voucher ref was not sufficient. I have never had any problems with this voucher ref before. They said they would be able to sort out the next day by contacting FHR so i had to make a pre authorisation of £ 50 on my credit card which they assured me no money would be taken from. We had arrived late after a long journey and needed to get some food and was conscious that the nearby pubs would be closing their kitchens so this unnecessary delay was not good after a long journey. we did eventually get a room and i know the issue was then sorted out

the only complaint i have is due to the current covid 19 situation there was no soap in the bathroom or no soap in the shower gel which i found quiet frustrating because wash hands is a big thing at the moment
