Introduction: The Yotel hotel is a whole new concept in
affordable and budget priced accommodation for London airports. Actually located
within the
Gatwick airport
terminal building its the ultimate in convenience.
Clearly not designed for 2 week holidays but targeted specially at the single
overnight stay or even for a place to freshen up for a few hours.
What you get for your money is a comfortable bed and clean room, the
accommodation is actually a capsule averaging 7-square-metre. The room lights
also work by guest control with a choice of settings/moods. Additionally cabins
have a flat-screen TV with digital channels and pay movies; air-conditioning,
jukebox; bespoke toiletries; towels; and a work station with free Wi-Fi and
wired internet
access (which continues for 1 hour after you check-out). You also get en-suite
facilities which is a toilet and monsoon rain shower. A curtain is used to
separate the bathroom area from the cabin itself for a little privacy if your
sharing. If noise is a problem the reception (called the galley) has
complimentary ear plugs for guests. There's a menu in each room (called the
cabin service menu) and you can order from the reception for room delivery 24
hours. A fast breakfast is also an option. Capsules are given a purple theme
with the mood lighting and room colours. Reception/gallery is open 24/7.
