Yotel has operated its pod hotels in London’s Heathrow and Gatwick airports since 2007, and in Amsterdam’s Schiphol since 2008.
Described by the company as being “inspired by first-class airline cabins,” and by one user review as “a cross between a train compartment and a space ship,” these small units pack in single or double beds, entertainment systems, a work desk and an en suite bathroom into between 7 to 10 square meters.

The cabins –32 at Heathrow, 46 at Gatwick and 57 at Schiphol — cost about £25 ($39) for four hours, or about £60 ($93) overnight.
Yotel also operates a hotel based on a similar concept in New York City, with 669 slightly larger rooms.
