Review of YOTELAIR London Heathrow Airport 3*

Such a great concept, especially since you can rent a room for short periods of time (starting at 4 hours). I had a 7 hour 35 minute layover at London Heathrow and had just gotten off a long, overnight flight. I made a reservation for YotelAIR in advance for just 4 hours. If you have a similar layover time, I recommend 4-5 hours, depending on which day you are travelling on. You will need some time to travel between terminals and clear customs/passport control. I landed in Terminal 3, took a "connecting flight" shuttle bus to Terminal 4 (15-20 minutes) and went out to the "land side" by passing through customs/passport control (10 minutes). For a Saturday, there really wasn't many people so it all went quickly. The hotel itself was a little tricky to find but the website provides a map of where they are in Terminal 4. Check-in was easy — — there are kiosks when you first walk in but the front-desk clerk checked me in himself since there wasn't anyone else there. Water and hot drinks were complimentary. The pod/room was small but cozy and very futuristic looking. Once you put the shade down, the room is completely dark and very quiet. I slept like a rock and didn't hear any noise. The room had a shower in it and a toilet. Overall, I had a very nice stay and would absolutely stay here again. After I checked out, I took a shuttle bus to Terminal 5 (15 minutes). You do have to go outside to catch the bus but any of the airport personnel can help you and direct you to the right bus. Security in Terminal 5 also went quickly (15 minutes) and I was at my gate well before boarding started.
