It was a perfect location inside the Gatwick Airport making our flight connection perfectly easy and convenient. Hotel staff was very helpful and friendly, allowing us an extra hour to check out since due to a series of unfortunate events we didn’t arrive until after 2 a.m. Our room was very quiet and comfortable, though very small. Bed was very comfortable, medium firmness, but due to the size of the room one of us had to climb over the other to get out of bed. We didn’t like the all-in-one bathroom where the shower is not separated from the toilet and sink. All was clean and in good working order. We felt very welcome and had an overall excellent stay.

It's fine for one night but I do begrudge having to say it's 'fine' when paying almost £150 for the room. They are functional, minimal rooms with comfy beds. What you need for a airport stay just not at those prices?

Poorly sign- posted if arriving via National Express Coach to South Terminal. Cumbersome check in at third floor then need to go out to use lift to get up to rooms. Bathroom is terrible with no shower curtain or partition. Whole floor becomes wet and not even a floor mat to dry the feet. Very unthoughtful design.

I really didn’t mind this place. It’s right by airport security so you can prob have an extra 30 mins in bed compared to staying at another airport hotel with a shuttle bus. Windowless cell with a small double bed. The bathroom setup was a bit odd, once you shower the whole area is soaking wet so I had to put my shoes on to brush my teeth. Prob not for anyone that wants to spend a lot of time getting ready before a flight doing their hair etc. but for a bit of sleep and running straight to security it’s great

the hotel is conveniently located inside the airport. The room is extremely small, it could barely fit my luggage. The bathroom is designed in an awkward way but it is good enough for a very short stay.

Response from Katie on May 23, 2024
Hi Dana , thanks for this and I'm pleased you were happy with our location in the South Terminal and had a comfortable night's sleep. I can see you chose one of our smallest, Vista rooms. They're almost pod-like but with a king-sized bed which you can store two large suitcases underneath. We've got bigger rooms, take a look at those next time you're travelling through Gatwick and see if we've got something which would suit you better. I'm sorry to hear about the shower pressure as it should be fantastic, I've asked the Maintenance team to check it as a matter of urgency. We'd be delighted to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Bloc. All the best Katie

Hi Dawn, the wet room isn't something everyone's a fan of, our rooms which have separate showers are the VIP rooms and the Runway Suite so you could always think about giving one of those a try. Otherwise, we suggest putting a used towel down on the floor to keep your feet dry if you need to use the facilities again before it's dried fully. I really hope we'll have the opportunity to welcome you back to Bloc again soon. All the best Katie

A great place delivering exactly what it’s intended for - a place to crash before a flight. Perfect location, comfortable king sized bed and good air conditioning. We stayed in a room without a window and it was good with us, but anyone who is claustrophobic may want to consider upgrading to one with a window. We were well rested and less rushed getting to our morning flight. The online check-in and check-out was an added bonus.

The Bloc Hotel is literally a block. The bed was squished up against the wall and window. The windows did not open and the air flow was either freezing or roasting. The bathroom was a shower room - so when showering you had to keep all things outside of it or they would be soaked. Sufficient to lay your head at the airport, but I likely won’t be staying at this type of hotel again.

The room is pretty basic. I hate the “wet room” how people can have a shower and then have to walk in and out of a soaking wet bathroom floor beggars belief. Plus the communication between your room and the staff has to be done on WhatsApp. We ran out of toilet roll at 4:00 am,( always had a spare one in all the hotels I’ve ever stayed in) my husband is sleeping and I have to sort out WhatsApp. Didn’t happen, luckily I had lots of packets of Kleenex.

Hi David, With the Air Con/heating you can control it in one of two ways; the wall-mounted panel next to the bed or using the link that you're invited to download to your phone. If neither of these is sufficient then always feel free to contact the 24-hour Reception team by message or call and they'll do all they can to assist you.Have a look at our Aspire or VIP rooms next time you need to stay at Gatwick.

This is all about excellent convenience. Stayed windowless which is disconcerting. Spend the extra for a window. The parking is an extra cost. Wet room tricky to use with so little space includes the toilet.

Hi, Donald,a big thank you for your review. We truly appreciate it.We're delighted you appreciated the convenience of our location in the South Terminal of Gatwick Airport.Our compact rooms, including the windowless Sleep options, are designed for efficiency and a restful night's sleep. We regret that the wet room design wasn't to your liking and understand the space is utilised differently from traditional bathrooms.We always aim to provide clear information regarding our additional services, and we apologise if the details regarding the window option and parking costs were not apparent.Thank you again; we hope to welcome you back soon to Bloc.All the best,Katie

The property was amazingly clean and the use of technology is fantastic. You get a WhatsApp and following a link you can check in online and without seeing anyone go straight to your room. You can control the whole room with your phone! The room was great and had what we needed. The wet room/bathroom is not ideal (if you want a shower the night before then your whole bathroom including floor and toilet is soaking wet and if you need a wee in the night then your feet are wet) but we made it work and the convenience of being at the airport is great!

This is an excellent hotel, and I wasn’t expecting that, right in the middle of the terminal (South) clean, safe, accessible, modern.
