Directions to the hotel

If you’re arriving by car – Exit the M23 at junction 10 and at the roundabout take the third exit onto Crawley Avenue (the A2011), signposted Crawley. At the next roundabout take the second exit onto Northgate Avenue (the A2004). Stay on this road by taking the first exit at the next roundabout onto College Road, then continue onto Southgate Avenue at the junction with Station Way. The Arora Gatwick will be on your right and is the first turning after this junction. Move into the right-turning lane to enter the car park and follow the sign to turn right and then head underground. You can park here for up to one hour for free, giving you plenty of time to unload the bags and get checked in. If you leave your car here overnight before heading to the long stay car park the next day it will cost you £10.

If you’re coming by public transport – There are regular direct trains from London Victoria to Crawley train station, which is linked to the hotel by a gate at the end of the platform.
