Amazing attention and very accommodating. They provided additional herbal teas on request, it was the night before our honeymoon and they provided a better room with window which we didn’t expect and was quite cool to be able to see the airport at night. Quite modern very clean, and convenient for early flights. They also provide 20% on some restaurants and coffee shops and had free coffee machine and oat milk on demand. Recommended if you are departing from south terminal next morning.

The Bloc is an innovative hotel for short stay at Gatwick airport. It's conveniently located attached to the airport with easy access to the Gatwick Express train. The restaurants in the airport pre-security area are a short walk from the room. The innovative check-in, access, and controls from cellphone make it very convenient.

I’ve stayed in the Bloc hotel occasionally over the last 3-4 years and it’s gone downhill. The room last night had a horrible stale and lived in smell which was really off putting and resulted in a restless nights sleep before an early flight. What’s more their desired to put people to use digital check in means that you can’t access the floors where they boast of free coffee and hot chocolate. Honestly I’ve had enough and will now stay I y he Hilton which is about 100m further walk and much nicer

There were tiny flies and tiny crawling insects in the wet room drain. I’m sorry but that is never ever acceptable in a hotel room. I have stayed at Bloc in the past without problems, but after this I will never go back. Really shabby.

Very quick check-in, room is small but functional. We didn’t realise that there’s some clever storage at the end of the bed plus space underneath the bed for a slim suitcase. Complementary hot drinks on each floor (I think), bathroom is basically a wet room with a toilet in it so put the toilet paper outside the bathroom when you shower! Digital check-out on departure which means you can go straight down to the terminal level, without having to stop off at reception to drop the keycard - if you have an early flight I would absolutely recommend staying here, we went from key drop to bag drop in just about 5 minutes, which meant an extra precious half hour in bed!

You literally come out of the lift to reception and have fast track security on one side and security for families on the other. The hotel was modern, tidy and clean, the only thing I wasn’t a fan of, was the bathroom being a small ish size wet room, the toilet paper was getting wet and so was the floor in the bedroom, which seemed to be a material designed to absorb it. I didn’t find that overly clean, but it didn’t smell or anything. Fine for a night. Overall a very positive experience, the staff were 5 Star, the rooms were really nice, they were small but not cramped or overcrowded and had everything needed for a convenient stay even with a baby and a toddler!

This hotel is very conveniently located right next to security, above check in and around the corner from restaurants and cafes. The room is very small, but you are paying for convenience not space so met our requirements to just sleep ahead of an early flight. Check in and out was quick. The hotel offers discounts at the restaurants and cafes before security, which I wish we knew before check in as we went straight to eat before we checked in

I needed a place to stay at Gatwick airport and the Bloc is located right inside Terminal South. I had a Vista room, with views over the airport so I could see planes and countryside. The rooms was well designed, quiet and cozy. There was a coffee room on my floor with free hot drinks. The WhatsApp chat bot texts you and actually does a very good job at answering questions! The room controls and digital key from your phone work really well, but I asked for a regular key card just in case. Negatives: The wet-room style shower is the main let down. There must be a better space saving solution than flooding the floor. I had not packed flip flops with me so after my shower I had to put towels down to dry the floor. Only 1 toilet roll was provided. I’m sure you can ask for more at reception but not ideal. It’s very stingy. No decaf options from the coffee machine. Still, I slept really well, it was quiet, the AC was good and the location is unbeatable. I will stay again but I will remember to bring flip-flops next time.

I was so happy with the location of the hotel right on the terminal premises. It made it great for easy access from my departure the next day. They also give you a 20% on certain stores and restaurants for your overnight stay, which is greatly appreciated. The beds were very comfortable. The room was a small cabin size but plenty for one. Would definitely stay at one of these locations again.
