I Stay In a Bloc Hotel At Gatwick Airport With Runway Views!

Tim your videos are the most therapeutic videos on the whole of KZbin. Never stop these hotel, holiday park and other night stay videos. I love them and I’m sure all your other subscribers will agree!

Wow, thanks! How are they therapeutic tho lol

Thanks for visiting, Tim! We're glad to see you had an amazing stay, and that you managed to find our free hot drinks room. 😉

They look great those rooms, and the tea and coffee room is a special touch. To say their budget, good job!

Excited I discovered your hotel! Look forward to stay the next time in am in the UK. 🇬🇧. Love the whole look ❤

Hi Tim. I love the idea of staying in a hotel in the airport especially if you have an early morning flight . Arrive at the airport the day before stay in one the night before and you are ready to go the next day. No more waking up at 2 or 3 in the morning for a mad dash to airport. I think all airports should have hotels in them.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

That's a great idea!

[@charm8167]

It’s a great Japanese Styled compact room in the South terminal easily missed but a high quality and very functional hotel.

[@comedyhunter]

What a great idea to have the hotel in the airport, gets rid of all the stress of getting to the airport, love it and glad its sound proofed !

[@PastaSauce.]

We did it before our first big holiday to Florida with my partner. We wanted to extend our trip. Was so lovely getting food in the airport in the evening, getting a good night sleep then easily strolling to the gate in the morning.

[@comedyhunter]

@@_jack_828 yes I hate that stressful morning where your rushing around to get there 4 hours before, double checking everything. This solves that problem

[@lloydmorganmoore7810]

My wife and I stayed here before flying in 2018 and couldn't fault it at all. The soundproofing is astonishing given how close it is to the runways.

[@Bear-zl5ic]

I stayed at this hotel after being awake for over 30 hours. I have a fond memory of how much dopamine I felt as I realised there was a hotel in the terminal I could just go pass out in. Amazing hotel too!

[@IceglacierArnar]

I stayed in this hotel...I will use again. Greeting from Iceland 🇮🇸

[@Adventures-with-the-McLeods]

I have stayed in this hotel twice. Once in a windowless room (before my flight to florida), and one in a corner suite where the walls were all windows (straight after my wedding as we were flying to honeymoon the next morning). Both times were fantastic stays and really enjoyed my stays. I would stay here again.

[@CharliePlayz36]

Every year me and my mum travel to Kent to go to the big cat sanctuary and we always have to drive in the direction of Gatwick it is soooo busy!!

[@GabyStarbuckx]

You put these together so we’ll Tim xxxx

[@WalkWithMeTim]

lol

[@glueckskicks_lucky.hiccup]

Hi Tim, my daughter and I missed our flight and stayed one night at the BLOC Hotel. It was a great stay and really something special.Thank you for your great videos! I really enjoy them!

[@chelseagirl278]

Noooo the toilet paper 🧻 was in a BLOC 😂!

[@richardbowness1595]

Funny! :D

[@kieranrobinson4593]

I've stayed in this hotel before, and a similar full-service hotel in a New Zealand airport terminal. My favorite thing to do for those early morning flights: check-in, drop your bags then head back to your room to relax for another hour before security!

[@d.6593]

Yep and I fell asleep, with all my luggage gone 🙃

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

As a kid, I loved watching the runways and seeing all the little utility vehicles etc doing their thing.

[@RYN988]

I really really love the design of the room they made use of every inch of it it is just fantastic the lighting the mirrors the bathroom the comfy bed the whole thing is just great

[@sarahillingworth2718]

[@tinaboyle5459]

[@teyen0518]

How I wish to stay in this kind of hotel. And I can just sit by the window all day watching all the airplanes taking off, landing and park in the runway. Ooh I love airplanes.

[@KingOsirismindprogramming8888]

That's cozy looking 🙂🏝️🏆

[@squidge125]

I stayed in the easy hotel in the Gatwick basement a while back and loved having access to all the restaurants and bars and then already being in the terminal for my flight. This looks like a step up and the sound proofing is amazing!

[@cropstar]

We stayed at bloc when we had an early flight from Gatwick. Really good bed and a really good sleep. We didnt take the optional upgrade of a window, that was £5 more! It's like staying in a spaceship.

[@hjcdormouse7337]

What would be really useful at Hotels if they allowed is for you to show accessible rooms and do they have any Changing Rooms Accessible Toilets. Those views at night stunning

[@clarepurves9759]

The hotel is like a mini beamish for pan am and the 60’s it’s beautifuly done

[@jimbo6059]

It's the old north road office block. Used to be full of airline and airport offices.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

What a difference

[@basbeestKT]

The room doesn't look half-bad... Location looks to be ideal too... Great video as always

[@loobylou471954]

I’ve booked this hotel on the basis of your video Tim, it looks great and so convenient. Thank you so much for the review 😊😊

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@judybee]

Always look forward to seeing where you are staying next Tim! You never cease to amaze me with the variety of accommodation and places you go to. They obviously got you sussed this time inviting you to stay & giving you the room with a view! A plane spotter's paradise. x J x

[@shanehall98]

It looks very beautiful and it is good it’s in a terminal building. No faffing around just head out and your there.

[@maureen14]

Really nice room! Just add fridge and I could live there!

[@betagombar9022]

Great video Tim. Another hi-tech hotel (well for me and my tech knowledge it is!!) For me the best thing about the room was the view, could of spent all evening looking out the window. The corridors looked narrow, maybe it was the dark decor? Looking forward to your next video 👍

[@WalkWithMeTim]

They are a bit but yes the dark wood makes it look worse

[@ClipperMaidOfTheSeas]

I stayed here back in Nov. I booked a day room because I landed from JFK at 6am. I checked out at 3pm and headed into the city well rested.

[@rob2k27]

I think you've just shown me my favorite hotel I could go too lol.. A cold beer and that view is me complete

The old Attaturk airport had a hotel inside the airport building.

[@cindysunley5992]

I like this. All airports should have this.

[@UncleSkiBum]

I know Bloc as a sunglasses brand, guess they branched out 😂, also like the space in the room by the window as it means you can store all your stuff out of sight and away from main part of room.

[@beechlad3541]

I've stayed here many times & love it, I always book a corner room with an airport view. Thanks for another great video.

Nice hotel, perfect for nervous traveller who want to be in time at the airport, or if flight is cancelled etc.

Great video as usual. Just wish you'd give an estimate on pricing or rough guide so we know how much all these rooms are.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

this was a invite thats why I didnt

[@BassBanj0]

Stayed in the Bloc hotel in Birmingham and honestly it was great

[@gregmichael8473]

Stayed there 6 years ago, before and after flights to /from the continent. Extremely convenient, plus the novelty of being in the middle of the flight action justified the cost for me. Checking back, I pre-paid 10.50 as an extra for a breakfast at one of two places in the terminal.

[@liveroom4235]

Great idea having the hotel in the terminal which saves a lot of faff in the morning.

[@MrGreatplum]

Fantastic, Tim. I live only 10 minutes down the road from Gatwick so it’s very rare that I would need to stay overnight there! Great to see the Bloc Hotel - it’s signage is very prominent on the south terminal - looks perfect for an overnight stay!

[@paulinecampbell9023]

We have stayed overnight before at bloc , but next time we are staying 6 hours through the day after a transatlantic overnight flight with a long wait for our next flight , it’s just over £60 , perfect for a sleep and shower

[@OhioticketswithRobert]

That was an amazing hotel just what you need for an early morning flight.

[@mp3bbb]

Great idea and some of the more expensive rooms do have tea/coffee facilities within the room.

[@karenlove7935]

Thought I’d make my comment here as well, for those interested in this hotel. I’m currently staying one night at the Bloc Hotel at Gatwick Airport and I’ve been upgraded to a Vista Plus Room - Rm 846, exactly the same room as you stayed in! Really pleased with it and making the most of the cappuccinos on the 7th floor + just to let you know that the room now also has a Nespresso coffee machine with coffee, tea or hot chocolate options and some yummy biscuits!, 👍 Look forward to watching your next videos! All the best!

Really good video Tim. Would consider staying there if ever back in the UK. I have stayed in a hotel inside Singapore Airport and its a really good set up. Have great runway views as well.

[@ThePholder30]

Tim - love the vlogs & the reviews. One small favour to ask? Could you also include the price you paid for the accommodation? I know you used to but it's missing from this vlog and your one last week at the water park in Germany. I know rates fluctuate depending on demand but interested to see the comparison. Cheers buddy 😉

[@EmmaKnightleyNo1]

I quickly checked on their website, stay from today till tom is 144£ for a windowless room. Random night middle of the week April is 125£. He said he was invited, but not sponsored.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yep noted it was hard as they invited be here

[@fleurg1]

I stayed in this hotel about 4 years ago. My mum and I shared a twin room without windows so not as nice as your room but it was fine as all we did was sleep in it. I agree the beds are really comfortable and the soundproofing is great. We also had a lovely dinner in the Wetherspoons close by

[@laurenhw1988]

I absolutely love this hotel. Always excellent customer service and great rooms. I wouldn't stay anywhere else there.

[@Boeing_737-db2le]

Its a lovely hotel, I stayed in that room, 846 at the end of February. I requested it simply because of its views! Only difference is at 6:41 there is now a desk there with a Nespresso coffee machine.

[@lukmanahmed.lovetotravel5749]

[@hiramabiff2017]

OMG Tim ! We recently stayed there in the same room ( I booked about 2 months in advance and paid £85 ). I Sweet talked the " lovely " reception staff to upgrade us to that corner room overlooking the runway and it so cool watching the planes take off while enjoying a glass or two of wine. I would not recommend being tipsy with all the mirrors about giving you the optical illusion the room is bigger, if your as stupid as me you will walk into something, and not a great fan of the bed being so enclosed, but overall the stay was worth every penny to just walk downstairs to catch your flight. The wet room took some getting use to and the coffee room on the 7th ( or 5th ? ) floor was a bit basic. You also get a Free Fast Track Security, which was a nice touch. You are also entitled to a discount in one of the restaurant/bars downstairs. Just ask reception and they will give you the card. Clean/Reasonable price/and lovely staff.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I missed that discount bit lol

[@fredbear72ify]

Looks very handy great for people flying in or flying out good security everything you need really.

Oh thats abit posh Tim lol, it was really nice I liked it, although when you first got to your room those mirrors had me confused! :) Thank you for the fab video as always x

[@dianeprice5798]

Great idea having hotel in airport and very nice and clean room,but I think they should have put bottle's of water in room even if that do have a hot drinks machine it's bit far to go if your not on the same floor,and sometimes might like a hot drinks before going to sleep, apart from that great hotel,and love watching planes, great views,thank you Tim for a great vlog.

[@dianeprice5798]

Soz Tim but I just watched vlog again and there was bottles of water on side my mistake,but still think it would be nice to have a kettle and hot drinks in Room,thank you

[@vinniesuperstar8923]

Interesting I haven’t considered stopping inside the terminal. I usually stay at the Gatwick Travelodge, there’s a shuttle bus which is £3 each way & runs regularly. Bloc looked good but just checked for my next trip and the Travelodge is £100 cheaper (& the tea & coffee are in the room).

[@zoeyelh]

£100 blimey! how much is the bloc hotel?!

Me and my now wife- then girlfriend used to take a yearly holiday to Jamaica in January form gatwick and it was religion to stay in Bloc the night before our early flight. You can request the runway view from memory it was 114 or something. We used to eat in Giraffe and get back early with a bottle of wine to watch the emirates A380 come in from Dubai. Seems stupid now but great memories. this video brought back many fond memories. thanks Tim

My Dad and I were going for a holiday to Spain and he said he booked this hotel so that it wasn’t quite a long day of flying. I was excited I was reading all the reviews and photos! Little did I know this wasn’t the hotel he booked. The real hotel was a crummy Holiday Inn about 10 miles down the road just off a busy roundabout. I was so disappointed
