I'm in the process of checking out south terminal Gatwick hotels for my night before an early start.  Has anyone got any favourites they'd like to share? 

Thanks

If you are not driving then I live on the Isle of Wight so always travel to Gatwick by train. The station is at South Terminal and I have always found the Bloc hotel very good. It is situated within the South Terminal so it is only a short walk from the train to check in. There are eateries within the terminal so everything is on your doorstep.

I usually go for the North terminal Premier Inn just 2 mins walk to North terminal or 5 mins on the shuttle

to South terminal, if not the Premier Inn (manor Royal) 20 mins by no100 bus which is where I will be

next Sunday at £40.50 ready for the French and Italian Splendour holiday.

Thanks Ian.  Seen Bloc come up on my searches and I like that it is in the actual Terminal. Same as another one I like the look of, The Hilton. As I have to be at check-in around 4.45am!! I like the idea that you only have a few minutes walk to get there. I think it'll be between those two.

I used the Premier Inn a few years ago and thought it was good, as are the ones at LHR.

N and S terminals are very close at Gatwick, as I recall.

I don't think anyone has recommended it yet but I nearly always stay at the Hilton attached to the South Terminal (I'm there at least once a month - it's very friendly, comfortable and just a covered walkway from Departures).

People often assume it's going to be pricey but if you join the (free) Hilton membership scheme and book online, it's frequently cheaper than the Premier Inn, the Bloc or even the Hampton in the North Terminal.

All the best
