Quite simply:
(1) Gatwick Airport>London Victoria (Southern trains [not the more expensive 'Gatwick Express']) (31-38 mins)
(2) Victoria>Paddington (Circle Line) (16 mins)
(3) 7 minute walk from Paddington station to Shaftesbury Metropolitan London Hyde Park hotel, via London Street and Sussex Gardens

If you can obtain an Oyster card and load it with pre-pay credit, then definitely use that to travel on the Underground from Victoria to Paddington and for all other journeys within Greater London
a hotel or B&B with parking at stansted airport?
as our check in is at 04.00, we are looking for a hotel or B&B with transport and parking included. a lot of the adverts say this, but when you look at the small print! then they add on taxis/ transport/parking and no breakfast! not bothered about the breakfast, just getting there on time and return transport to hotel/b&B with no restricted hours due to early check in time at airport. arrival back is ok as its 16.00hrs

Check the banner, it’s a website that compares different places so it saves you time searching for the cheapest. Just enter the location and stay period.
Hope it helps:)
gatwick parking the cheapest?
The cheapest and most convenient, if coming from South of the airport especially, I find is Airparks. I use them 3 or 4 times a year and always find them to be excellent with transfers approx. every 15mins.
