Good stay. The location is perfect when traveling to or from Gatwick airport. A simple, short walk into the terminal from the train. The check in staff was friendly and helpful. There is access to several stores and resturants in the airport before the security check. You can also easily take a train or bus into London. The room was clean and although small it was comfortable. Free hot drinks and coffee were available on the floor. We'd recommend staying here if you have an early or late Gatwick flight.

The hotel is conveniently located in South Terminal of the airport. A compact "pod" type room, but slightly more spacious than some I've had elsewhere. Online check-in and app-based room key means you can go directly to your room without passing through reception. The room as compact but comfortable and was surprisingly quiet. We got a good night's sleep after the arrival of our late night flight.

The compact shower room is a wet room with no division between shower and the rest of the shower room. Everything gets wet when you use the shower, so be careful with our personal belongings!

We had an early morning flight so decided to get to Gatwick the previous day and stop at the Bloc hotel to get some decent sleep - it was a good decision! The room was not big (but then we did not need a big room for one night), it's quite sound proof (I was worried airport can be noisy). There is a shared room with a hot drinks machine, hot chocolate is actually nice! There are a few cafes and restaurants in the terminal that offer discounts if yo stay at Bloc. And it's perfect for morning flights, the hotel is in the terminal building so it's very close to the check-in area.

The communications are a bit intense, before arrival I think I got messages via SMS, whatsapp, booking and email (or at least 3 of those) trying to tell me the same thing, I could do with just one means of communicating.

Very convenient easy to check in to hotel and find at airport terminal as inside. Had a very early flight so was perfect. Good shower with toiletries and comfortable bed with access to hot drinks.

Nothing

Very convenient as it’s in the departures terminal. However, the room is only 10m2 as advertised, not enough room to swing a cat. Bed is very comfortable and had a good night’s sleep.

Transparent shower room which soaks everything in it.

Such an easy location from Gatwick arrivals. I stayed in a room without a window, as this was cheaper. I think that this, along with the dark decor, would have felt oppressive if I'd have stayed for longer than a few hours either side of sleep but for a simple overnight between travels, it was fine.

There were no tea and coffee making facilities in the room and the communal machine on the 7th floor did not have any milk or creamers. The bedroom floor was an uninviting lino and the wetroom bathroom was so tiny that the toilet got drenched and there was nowhere to put my dry feet for hours afterward. With all these in mind, the price was a little excessive in comparison with the nearby hotel alternative.

The location is excellent, and the staff were very polite, cheerful and helpful. If you want a place to sleep that's near to the airport, this is it! You're something like 5 minutes away from the check-in counters. And the staff make you feel welcome and the rooms are very clean. So kudos to the staff.

This is my second review of them, and the last time I gave a review, the marketing person at Bloc got a little snippy when I mentioned how small the rooms were. They took my comment as an accusation of misrepresenting the size of their rooms, which I wasn't. I was just saying, that, although I shouldn't mention it, the rooms are small. :-) If you can take one of the better rooms, which I did this time, they are more comfortable. And even though I'd stay here again, the rooms are small . . . :-) BUT, what can you do? You're IN the airport, so zero complaints! All good.

Great location for an early flight, love that it was in the terminal. Had been debating between the different airport hotel chains but settled on this for the combo of ease/proximity and price! Liked the minimalism of it, had everything I needed too. Bed was also super comfy. The tablet was confusing to use at first re the air con, maybe some guidance somewhere could’ve been helpful (if there was I missed it)

The wet room style bathroom was a bit annoying albeit nice looking, but nothing a towel on the floor couldn’t solve (as you get wet feet if you need to use the toilet after having a shower). A small issue though. Could benefit from a hook for towels near/on the door. I wish wake up calls were at option – (via mobile?), as I was a solo traveller and paranoid about missing my flight! Luckily my 7 alarms worked and I had a family member ring me who was in a different time zone! Better coffee in the communal coffee area perhaps, if I was being extra picky 😅 I did just get on in the terminal anyway.

Love the lighting, comfy bed, push button controls for the room, great TV, convenient location inside the terminal. Tea/Coffee machine was brilliant. Loved everything!

Nothing not to like about Bloc. Had problems claiming our complimentary glass of champagne in the One Lounge as they wouldn’t allow us to have it as we had booked the lounge but not through Bloc as we didn’t realise that’s how you had to do it. We booked the One Lounge ourselves as we didn’t realise we could book through Bloc. The manager in the lounge called Ayobami eventually allowed us to have it but I did say I would feed this back for you.

The 'Bloc' hotel is very unique. It resembles a Japanese pod style hotel, due to the small and all-in-one nature. I have stayed here before, and it meets and exceeds my expectations. It's clean, modern, comfy and cosy. If you're just trying to rest your head before a flight I would recommend it. If you're staying longer than two days, I'd look to the Premier Inn or similar as it's a bit small and claustrophobic for long term accommodation. The smart room controls are a bonus, you can control the lighting, HVAC and blinds from your bedside control panel, or mobile telephone.

- Shower The shower and toilet are all in one, so if you do shower. You'll find that the toilet gets damp, and the toilet roll ruined by humidity from the shower. It also takes ages to dry, which can make a trip to the toilet a bit wet/uncomfortable. - H.V.A.C/AC The controls for the heating and air conditioning are a bit vague. It's just a blue bar, that is meant to signify the temperature without the actual temperature. So you end up being too hot or too cold. I wish it had a temperature gauge you could adjust. - Accessibility It's very ambiguous and vague as to how you access the Bloc hotel from South Terminal. I would recommend getting better signage/instructions on how to access.
