5/5 Excellent
"Always reliably good"
A verified traveller from nebo stayed at Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport
"Excellent stay at the Sandman Signature Gatwick. The staff were excellent at accommodating us with 2 very tired children. We arrived early in the morning, although not able to check in, they took our bags for us and let the kids use the pool until the room was available. There was unlimited tea/coffee and hot chocolate at our disposal as well.
Room was clean and larger than other UK hotels we stayed in. Our room had a mini fridge and a microwave which was a GameChanger for us with kids - got some groceries and the staff had no issues with providing us with cutlery.
Restaurant was excellent and good selections for kids and adults. While there is a restaurant in the hotel, it is only open for breakfast or supper (after 4pm).
The hotel is within walking distance of TESCO. (7minutes) which we used a bit. You can walk to the Three Bridges train station (about 17 minutes) and there is a bus stop about a 7 minute walk that will take you to Gatwick airport.
Things to note: there is no airport shuttle from this hotel. You can order a taxi (about £28) to Gatwick Airport, or you can get a £8 Uber to the train station and get to the airport that way. We used the bus, it was a 7 minute walk to the bus stop (bus 100) to Gatwick airport.
Hotel is sitting on a busy roadway. Loudness could depend on room location.
Air conditioning in the room was super loud when it cuts in. We did try not to use it, but it was a warm couple of days in Gatwick so we had too.
