Das Eigentum — Ramada George
The Ramada George is a functional, no-fuss three-star hotel just off the A23, handy for Gatwick or a business stop. The lobby feels like a mid-90s airport lounge: worn carpet, a small bar, and a check-in desk that processes guests efficiently but without warmth. It suits travellers who need a reliable bed near the airport or a cheap base for exploring the South East, not those seeking charm or luxury. Rooms are dated but clean, and the on-site Italian restaurant offers a decent plate of pasta after a long day.
Chroniken von Crawley
Crawley was a market town until the New Towns Act of 1946 designated it as a satellite for overspill London population, transforming it into a planned community with neighbourhoods like Three Bridges and Bewbush. Its medieval core, centred on the High Street and St John the Baptist Church, was largely bypassed by postwar development, leaving a patchwork of 13th-century lane and 1960s concrete. The arrival of Gatwick Airport in the 1950s turned Crawley into a transport and logistics hub, with a strong engineering and pharmaceutical sector today. Culturally, it lacks a single defining identity, but its annual Crawley Carnival and the Hawth Theatre anchor a community that values practicality over pretension.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Crawley-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June, September — warm enough for outdoor walks in Tilgate Park or the High Weald, and school holidays haven't overwhelmed local roads or hotels.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak due to school summer holidays and Gatwick's seasonal traffic; hotel prices can jump 30-40% and the A23 gets clogged. The Crawley Carnival in July adds local buzz but also crowds.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October offer mild weather, thinner crowds at Gatwick, and room rates 20% lower than summer peak. You'll still get decent daylight for day trips.
Wetter & Verpackung
Crawley's climate is stubbornly damp even in summer, with sudden cool gusts from the North Downs. Always pack a waterproof jacket and a layer, even if the forecast says sun.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Crawley
- Gatwick Airport's £2.5bn expansion plan, including a second runway, remains under consultation, but no construction starts before 2026 — expect ongoing roadworks on the A23 and M23 approaches.
- Crawley's new 'Civic Quarter' redevelopment opened a pedestrianised link between the town centre and the Hawth Theatre in early 2026, reducing traffic on College Road.
- A major sewer upgrade on London Road near the town centre will cause lane closures through summer 2026, with diversions in place for drivers heading to the hotel.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ramada George, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Consider requesting a room on a higher floor (above the 2nd floor) as the hotel has a lift serving all floors, reducing the likelihood of street noise from the High Street, which can be busy, especially during peak shopping hours. Additionally, rooms on higher floors might have a slightly better view of the surrounding area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they are more prone to street noise from the High Street and potential noise from the hotel's service entrance.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on the High Street doesn't offer a scenic view, but rooms on higher floors might have a view of the surrounding rooftops or the church steeple.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-5 are likely to be the quietest, as they are above the ground floor and away from the street level.
🔊 Noise notes
As the hotel is situated on a busy High Street, guests can expect some street noise, especially during peak shopping hours. Additionally, the proximity to the Crawley Leisure Centre means there may be some background noise from the car park.
Insider tips
Take advantage of the free on-site car park, which has 110 spaces, to save £4.50 per day on parking fees at the nearby Crawley Leisure Centre. If you're driving, be aware that the hotel's car park fills up quickly, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure a spot.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
