Q: I need to stay overnight at Heathrow Airport next month and would like to try one of the Japanese-style 'cubicle' hotels which I hear have opened at the airport. Could you provide me with information of how to book a room, the rate and what I can expect? - James Du Preez
A: The hotel you are referring to is Yotel, which has a branch located inside Heathrow’s Terminal 4. The rooms, referred to as cabins, range from about 10 square metres in size, but offer a surprisingly high level of comfort and good facilities. There are three types of cabins; a double room, a twin with two single bunks and a large single cabin. All have en suite bathrooms, flat screen TV’s, free WiFi and 24 hour room service. You can book a cabin for a few hours or for 24 hours or more. You can book on the www.yotel.com website or telephone +44 (0) 207 100 1100. The price ranges from 25 GBP for four hours plus 6.50 GBP per hour in a standard cabin to 40 GBP for four hours in a premium cabin. I did a test booking for an 11-hour overnight stay in a standard cabin during September and the rate was 59 GBP. A second mini-hotel will open at Heathrow later this year. The easyHotel group is busy constructing a branch of its popular chain at the airport.
