The George Hotel, Crawley - Reviews & Ratings"Very disappointing.....I know its an old hotel but i stayed there when it was part of the Forte Group and the standards were much better then..It seems to me that it is in need of a massive refurbishment to bring up to MODERN day needs." (107402159)
The gentleman on reception when we checked in could not have been more helpful....
Uncomfortable (old) bed....the bedding did not look clean AND had cigarette burn holes in the blankets....the toilet was loose....soap dispenser inoperative...the room was hot and when I opened the window I found pigeons roosting in the recess between rooms and pigeon feathers and droppings on the windowsill....the net curtain at the window was filthy and looked like it would fall apart if you touched it....so we slept with the window closed on top of the bedsheets ..

The George Hotel, Crawley - Reviews & Ratings"Would rather have slept at the airport. It's cheaper and cleaner. " (108988804)
Staff is nice and knowledgeable
Room was terrible. Window was stuck open all the way, room smelled of old smoke, had bottles of 'soap' attached to the wall like a public bathroom in a shopping mall that did not work properly, overall was grungy and has not been updated in many years. TV only got 3 channels and did not work too well. And to top it all off, the place is haunted.

The George Hotel, Crawley - Reviews & Ratings"Pleasantly surprised, the room was clean and tidy, good value for money." (107933509)
Room (in Sussex Wing) was clean, although we did find a pair of shoes left by a previous guest under the bed. Bedding was clean. Choice of restaurants nearby. Free car parking.
Bathroom door did not shut properly due to top hinge of door coming away from doorframe, easily fixed with a screwdriver by ourselves, but we shouldn't have had to. Reception areas could due with a bit of sprucing up, first impressions when entering from the car park are poor.

on our 1st night a guest set off the fire alarm due to an argument with his other half. they caused a scence on the landing and promised the manager that they would stop. it continued throughout the night. they should have been removed from the hotel but they were left to annoy the other guests. so much for a nice quite weekend away.

Staff were so very helpful and polite and friendly. Room was warm, dark at night (good curtains!). Food at breakfast was excellent.
No soap dispenser just the bottle left on the side but that's very minor!

Staff helpful, cost very reasonable.
The buildings (Annexes) and surrounding area (car park) look rather 'run down' and unkept. The drainage in the bathroom was very slow and the corridors smelt strongly of tobaco smoke.

The George Hotel, Crawley - Reviews & Ratings"For the price and the close vicinity of Gatwick Airport, you really cannot do better than this place. Ideal for a stop-over/ transitory visit." (107733407)
Staff were approachable, extremely accommodating and helpful. Room was clean and spacious with plenty of hot water and towels in the en-suite. Amazing value for money.
The breakfast buffet didn't look very appetising but they made me fresh fried eggs which were lovely.

Local to city centre and amenities plenty of pubs and places to eat right outside front door. Cheaper than anywhere else in the same area.
Bathroom was quite dirty and water had green flakes in as came out of taps. Was very expensive because of location - not value for money. No lifts, breakfast not included.

The George Hotel, Crawley - Reviews & Ratings"ok - staff friendly - good location" (107283628)
Room was quiet Hotel in a very convenient place Bathroom was clean and presentable staff relatively helpful and service was ok
The 'lobby area' whilst tidy it is a bit shabby. I am sure bed linens get laundered and whilst the sheets seemed clean - the covering for the bed was stained and looked dirty. The throw cusions on the chair and bed smelt absolutely awful - so much so that I closed them into a drawer for the duration of the stay! These should be dry cleaned surely or at least have removable cusions that can be washed.

The waitress in the breakfast room/restaurant was friendly and helpful
The actual hotel does not match the picture on the internet and is a dive. The room was in poor condition, the toilet still had someones hair, and there was food stuck to carpet, the bed was itchy.

The George Hotel, Crawley - Reviews & Ratings"I very rarely pay that much for a hotel when abroad and have never stayed in such poor conditions for that much money" (97619831)
the breakfast was good and the woman running it very caring and friendly to all who came into the reataurant by greeting us with friendly comments
the ceiling of the shower was peeling off into the tub, the room stank of smoke, the carpet at the entry was threadbare, I was not offered any assistance with my luggage, I asked to borrow a sscrewdriver to fix my luggage but the first one did not work and when I asked for the other one in the drawer the desk clerk pretended he could not see it, the second desk clerk was not familiar with the surrounding area - a type of store I was looking for ended up being basically around the street but he could not tell me this - the check in desk is very unappealing and unprofessional looking

The George Hotel, Crawley - Reviews & Ratings"This hotel is convenient for the centre of Crawley but meets only the basic requirements for a hotel stay. It needs redecorating and bringing up to a better standard to warrant paying this price." (97655242)
Convenient location for our stay. Staff at breakfast were friendly and helpful.
Th general state of our room was poor - it smelled of damp, the wallpaper was peeling, it was too hot and so we had to open the window onto the car park which meant that it was also noisy. The shower curtain didn't fit the height of the room to meet the bath, so the bathroom flooded when the shower was in use. There was no information in the room to assist with any enquiries about facilities or the local area.

Near to the airport. Had a kettle in the room.
Room very dreary. Seemed to be a smell of urine in the room, though we didn't know what the smell was. View of an office from the window. No lift. No offer to help carry our suitcases.
