    The subject of the sentence is BLOCK, which is a singular noun. Therefore, the verb must also be singular. The correct verb is HAS BEEN.

    The second one is grammatically correct because you said A block of rooms.

    If you were to say just rooms, it would've been the first.

    Hope I helped!
