We make no secret of the fact that it’s far better to book direct through our website or reservations line, rather than using sites such as Booking.com or Expedia.

Here are 8 reasons why; 

// Best price guarantee

We promise you will not find our rates cheaper elsewhere!  If you do, we will match the price or refund you the difference.  We call it our Price Promise!

// VIP Guest List

Book direct and you can join the BLOC VIP Guest List for FREE. Members are eligible to receive FREE upgrades where available*, FREE tea or coffee*, FREE Gatwick Premium Security (Gatwick hotel only)*. *Signup and full terms and conditions available here.

// Best views in the house

We automatically allocate direct bookings with the best views available.  Spend the evening watching planes move around Gatwick Airport, or watch the sunset over the Birmingham skyline.  

// Exclusive bed and breakfast packages

Arriving late, or early-morning start?  We've partnered with some great local cafes, bars and restaurants to offer guests who book direct access to exclusive BLOC discounts.  That's one less thing to worry about.

// Premium Security (fast-track) passes

Skip the queues at Gatwick Airport and enjoy up to 5 free Premium Security passes when choosing Valet Parking, exclusively for guests who book direct.

// Flexible rate cancellation policy of up to 2pm on the day of arrival

We understand plans can change, that's why we offer a no-questions-asked refund to guests who book direct, even if cancelled on the same day of your arrival! Note: this is for guests who have chosen our flexible rate.

// 24-hour personalised service

Guests who book direct receive around-the-clock customer care from our dedicated in-house UK team.  Perfect if you need to modify your booking, no matter what time-zone you're in.

// Exclusive access to our Standby Upgrade programme

Looking for the ultimate VIP experience?  Direct bookers get exclusive and automatic access to our Standby Upgrade list, offering you the chance to upgrade to our most luxurious rooms for just a fraction of the cost. (subject to availability)
