Bottom Line
YOTEL London Heathrow Airport is a mid-range transit hotel located on the arrivals level of the airport's Terminal 4. There are 32 tiny, windowless cabins that are designed to feel like airplane cabins, and are constructed with similar materials to what's found in airplane interiors. They are essentially a step above sleeping pods, with flat-screen TVs, pull-out desks, and surprisingly large bathrooms for a space-saving hotel. Amenities here are limited, though there is free Wi-Fi, free hot drinks, and a basic snack menus. Travelers looking for a more traditional airport hotel may want to compare rates at Heathrow Hotel Bath Road.

Scene
Airplane-inspired transit hotel with limited common areas
Founded by the same entrepreneur behind Britain's large Yo! Sushi chain, this concept hotel is a funky, if a little gimmicky, alternative to your traditional airport hotel. Designed by aircraft carrier engineers, this mini-hotel prioritizes space-saving over all else, and there's not much in the way of common space except for a couple foldable chairs at the reception desk, dubbed "Mission Control." The space is designed to feel like an aircraft, with dim purple lighting and a bright Japanese cartoonish (but not Manga) mural on one wall. Guests are mostly transit passengers, and short-stay blocks are available for those who are just passing through for a few hours.
Location
Inside Heathrow Airport's Terminal 4
The hotel is located on the ground floor of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 4, next to a multi-faith prayer room. There's a WHSmith newsagent on this level selling books, magazines, and light snacks, as well as a branch of Costa Coffee. Getting to central London takes about 45 minutes by car (without traffic) or just under an hour by Tube.
Rooms
Airplane-inspired pod cabins with flat-screen TVs and relatively big bathrooms
Yotel offers Standard Cabins (singles) and Premium Cabins (big enough for two), as well as Premium Triple Cabins that can sleep up to two adults and two small kids. All have flat-screen TVs, pull-out desks, multiple power points, and notably spacious en-suite bathrooms with rainfall showers. The accommodations have been designed with space-efficiency in mind, taking inspiration from first-class airline cabins, but the lack of natural light and airplane-like materials might not appeal to transit guests who don't feel up to reliving the aircraft experience.
Features
Free Wi-Fi and hot drinks, plus light meals for purchase
Amenities are limited at the Yotel, though there is free hotel-wide Wi-Fi plus a beverage station where guests can make hot tea, cocoa, and coffee 24/7. Guests can also order light meals, such as pizza and sandwiches, plus beer, wine, and liquor, from the front desk.
