If you are transiting in London’s Gatwick or Heathrow Airports, or Amersterdam’s Schiphol Airport, a layover could be a real luxury. Yotels offer minimalistic, Japenese style sleeping, working, and showering accommodations for transiting travelers inside the airport. No taxi needed.

“YOTEL is the antithesis to the manic and often stressful airport environment offering guests a haven of calm and quiet with luxury bedding, rejuvenating monsoon rain showers, relaxing mood lighting, practical work station and free WiFi. Bookable by the hour, YOTEL’s cabin’s start from as little as £25 (€35 at Schiphol) online at www.yotel.com

 

For weary travelers or those who want to spend the night before an early flight, a place to escape and escape has enormous appeal. According to Yotel Founder, Simon Woodroofe, they have been overwhelmed by the enthusiastic support. “The most common customer response today is ‘why hasn’t it been done before?’”

 

The range of windowless cabins includes

 

  • Twin cabin with upper and lower twin beds
  • Handicap Accessible with an upper bunk for traveling companion
  • Standard cabins with one bed, either and upper or a lower–matching up with the next room like a puzzle piece
  • Premium cabin, which has a double bed

 

All rooms have flat screen TV’s, WiFi, and private bathrooms in a single, soundproofed, albeit tiny, space with 24 hour room service. Everything you need, including towels, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner are provided, helping you avoid the TSA liquid limitations. Rooms contain a work desk and a monsoon shower, a favorite among guests.

 

Bookings range from four hours to overnight. While as small as a train cabin, and in some cases smaller, the rooms are infinitely larger than an airline seat. Whether you’re transiting between continents or arriving the night before a long flight to avoid rush hour traffic, most customers agree that Yotel is a much needed luxury for air travelers at affordable prices.
