Smart Room Control
Bloc Hotels' proprietary system allows guests to unlock rooms and control climate, lighting, and entertainment via smartphone. This app-free technology uses encrypted connections for security while maintaining intuitive operation. The system reduces plastic waste by eliminating physical keycards and integrates with hotel infrastructure for seamless functionality.
Eco-Friendly Stays
Triple-glazed windows, energy-efficient air conditioning, and LED lighting minimise environmental impact. Our linen service uses hybrid vehicles, while refillable UK-made toiletries eliminate single-use plastics. Guests can participate in opt-out housekeeping to conserve resources, aligning with our zero-waste and carbon neutrality goals.
Price Promise
We guarantee competitive pricing through real-time comparisons with major booking platforms. If a lower rate is found post-booking, we refund the difference plus 10%. This policy applies to identical room types, dates, and cancellation terms, ensuring transparency and value for customers seeking airport or city-centre accommodation.
