What guests think

Reviews of YOTELAIR London Gatwick Airport describe ultra-convenient, in-terminal cabins suited to short stays before early flights, with many guests praising comfortable beds, hot showers, quick check‑in, and generally clean, quiet spaces that reduce travel stress.

However, cabins are very small, some beds are elevated, and storage is limited, making them awkward for large suitcases or travellers with mobility concerns. Noise can carry between rooms and corridor doors, and several guests noted warm or stuffy rooms with limited temperature control or persistent night lights. A few reported early 9am checkout and 6pm check‑in policies, occasional TV or reception issues, and prices that can feel high for the space. Best for a short, no‑frills sleep steps from departures.

Can't beat the location for an early morning flight. It is a pod, that is well thought out but very tight for bigger suitcases that require some creativity to open and close. Very clean, great bathroom and comfortable bed. Great check-in experience and super friendly staff.

Really pleasantly surprised with my stay here, very clean, comfortable and quiet. With an early flight this really took the stress away for me. Plenty of places to get something to eat and drink.

The location was quite convenient, and the room was fairly cheap, but almost claustrophobic in its size. Nevertheless, it was clean and comfortable, and the service was quite good. My only complaint was the lack of ventilation in my room, it was rather stuffy and warm, but aside from that quite a recommended option!

The capsules themselves are good. Comfortable beds and decent showers. Unfortunately the capsules are partially stacked on top of other capsules. The person in the capsule next to me arrived late and was extremely noisy. The capsules have poor noise insulation and it was difficult to sleep. Considering that this is the sole purpose and reason to get a capsule is to catch some sleep before early flights this was very frustrating. It was an expensive waste of money on a short night without any sleep.

Small pod room with a ledge to get up onto bed. Room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. It is for sleeping only. No room to open suitcase or sit and relax. but practical and sufficient. I have stayed here many times and it is convenient for early gatwick flights. no fresh water access or kettle or information regarding where to find these.

Exactly what it says on the tin… the bed is one you have to climb up into so if you need the bathroom in the night it can be a bit precarious. Very functional but if that’s all you need, it’s perfect

Very convenient for a late flight into Gatwick - just enough space for me and my luggage. Good value for money and comfy bed. The only criticism I have really is the green light that stays on all night and gets reflected from the mirror. I had to cover it up with a spare pillow and my coat otherwise the room felt too light.

Excellent reception team - really nice welcoming people who were thoughtful, kind and went out of their way to ensure a warm welcome & goodbye. Bed crisp sheets & comfortable / big bath towel and pleasant bulk-pump amenities, good water pressure and temperature. WiFi & TV fast & solid. It's a cabin, the space is limited, know that before you book. To-work-on - (first i've noticed in over 12 stays) - the table edging needs replacing - quick fix there. Pricing - careful not to get close to in-terminal hotel pricing, I'd chose differently if differential was small. Above £150 is a lot to ask for the standard cabin.

This is a very convenient option for those arriving late and leaving early. The rooms are tiny but clean and perfectly functional (well, the TV remote was temperamental, but that was a small matter). The only issue I had was that I arrived around 10pm, and NO ONE WAS AT RECEPTION when I arrived. The doors were locked and I couldn’t get in. I didn’t know whether I’d be locked out all night, and there was no one to contact. It was rather upsetting. Please tell staff that if they leave their post they should have the courtesy to place a “Back in 10 min” sign on the door so we know what the heck is happening if the desk is deserted.

After a 12-hour flight, I went to checkin, i was informed that I could not checkin because I booked the hotel via a 3rd party (Expedia). I was forced to pay an extra $60 because I was too exhausted to wait around the airport for 6 hours. I'm not staying here again. Ever. I could have stayed at the Bloc for less. The Yotel should refund the money I paid. Don't be fooled. I was ripped off.

The location is very convenient for Gatwick Airport and station. Very compact. Could just get one large suitcase in room but can't access table then. Clean. Temperature OK with non-adjustable AC. Good shower in wet room which didn't wet the small room floor. WiFi good. Mattress comfortable. Free coffee in morning. Need to be quite agile to use the single step up into cabin bed, wouldn't be good if you had mobility issues. Steps up or down into narrow room door. It worked for me traveling alone, but I definitely wouldn't want to share this design of room with another person. If you are tall the bed may be difficult also if large manoeuvring in bathroom may be a problem.

There is a spot for all your crap. And I don’t have to worry about making it to the airport in the morning! Plus they do pod service of food, beer, and wine! Highly recommend ❤️
