Rest in a Heathrow Pod

Q: We have a long stopover at Heathrow Airport in December and would like to check into a hotel for a few hours. Ideally, we would like four single rooms, so we would consider staying in one of the hotels with small pod rooms you wrote about some time back. Could you provide details of these hotels? - Beryl du Plessis

A: The hotel you are probably thinking of is Yotel Heathrow, which is located inside terminal four. It offers a range of cabins, all pretty well-appointed with prices starting at only 29 British pounds for four hours. The cabins are fitted satellite TV and wi-fi connectivity. The top-range cabins can cost up to 69 pounds for four hours. Find out further details and book on www.yotel.com. You could also try easyhotel, which has rooms on offer in December from 25 British pounds per night. That gets you a standard room without a window. For a room with a window, the rate is 40 British pounds. You pay an additional five pounds for one day's use of the TV remote control. The hotel is located a few minute's drive from the terminals. Book www.easyhotel.com. However, while searching do not limit yourself to the so-called "pod hotels" There are some other great offers on regular hotels. I checked www.lastminute.com in mid-December and found two hotels that could interest you - the three star Comfort Hotel Heathrow for 65 GBP per night and the Premier Inn Heathrow at 59 GBP for a double room.
