Bloc Hotel Gatwick serves as a family-friendly game-changer for travellers
Editor Rachel Ducker recently stayed at Editor Rachel Ducker recently stayed at Bloc Hotels with her family to take the stress out of travelling – and honestly, it was a revelation.
“Travelling with kids is never straightforward – there’s always a touch of chaos no matter how much you plan. Our destination for this trip became Cyprus because we needed to attend a wedding of our close friend while dealing with the pressure of an early flight and caring for our one-year-old child. I experienced pure joy when I found Bloc’s family suite located directly within Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal building. The family-friendly experience offers both comfort and convenience through its elimination of stressful late-night car trips and early morning check-in lines.
The Aspire Family Rooms (for 2 adults and 2 children) are seriously impressive. The rooms provide large spaces with comfortable accommodations and complete soundproofing while showing airport views without airplane noise. My kids were ecstatic about the bunk beds – in fact, it became the holiday highlight: “Mummy, can we have bunk beds at home?”Spoiler: I’m still thinking about it.
Bloc makes travel even easier with some clever perks. Free Fast Track Security provides essential help to parents who need to manage their child and carry-on luggage at the same time. And for the tech lovers (and slightly lazy parents) like me, there’s Smart Room Control. You get a link before you even arrive, and once at the door, you simply click, unlock, and step straight in. The system removes waiting lines and paper-based documentation to deliver instant access to room comfort.
The beds were ridiculously comfy, the kids loved their little corner of the room, and with tea and coffee-making facilities on hand, we whipped up hot chocolates before bed. We spent many hours observing planes depart from the window view before the runway lights sparkled under the night sky which brought us both excitement and wonder about our upcoming vacation. It was a perfect little glimpse of the day ahead.
I woke up with complete refreshment the following morning which was a miracle for parents who normally struggle to make it through early airport departures. We went to security immediately after showering and finishing our packing while feeling relaxed and cheerful.
What really blew me away was just how family-friendly and thoughtfully designed Bloc’s rooms are. For a mum juggling a million things when travelling with little ones, knowing the night before your flight isn’t going to be chaotic is priceless. The hotel offers large rooms with comfortable beds and advanced technology and airport proximity with luxurious features which make it a perfect solution.
The Bloc Hotel Gatwick serves as an outstanding accommodation for families who require a peaceful start to their travels. The method will bring relief to your mental health as well as the welfare of your children.
