View of airport from Bloc Hotel Gatwick |
The Bloc Hotel Gatwick opened is situated within the South Terminal at Gatwick Airport, the terminal which also houses the train station with frequent trains to London.
There is a free monorail service that runs every few minutes between the South Terminal and North Terminal.
The convenience of being in one of the terminals is a real asset, saving you time and money that off airport hotels require.
The Bloc Hotel South Terminal Gatwick Airport offers this convenience at relatively low price by offering all the basic things you need including free Wi-Fi, but none of the frills in compact rooms of 9.5-12 square metres (although much larger VIP rooms of 22 square metres and even King Size Suites are also available).
Number of rooms: 245
Rooms available: Doubles/twin, family, VIP and deluxe king suites.
