But judging by the amount of enquiries we've had already the new YOTEL is very much good news for travellers through Amsterdam.</blockquote>Amsterdam's Schiphol airport is going to be THE place to stay pretty soon,

Hounslow, Middlesex: Yotel at Heathrow is London's Layover Hot Spot

jennm — 2008-06-09T11:26:57-05:00

Turns out the best hotel in London isn't Hotel 41, Claridge's or even The Ritz London. It's the Yotel at Heathrow Airport.

OK, fine, so Heathrow's not exactly a vacation hot spot, but since its opening last year, the hotel has earned rave reviews from travelers faced with long layovers or early a.m. flights. Often compared to a cabin on a cruise ship, guests profess love for the property's comfy beds, free WiFi, rain shower and accessibility, in that you can book a room for as little as four hours.

As one reviewer put it: "Far better than the transit lounge benches!"

We were once even reporting that it'd be open in summer. Yep, the summer that's definitely finished now.But don't worry, it's all exciting now: the Yotel Heathrow is taking bookings. And it will open very soon: tomorrow, in fact! The new capsule hotel inside Terminal 4 at Heathrow airport is, like the Gatwick Yotel, bookable for a minimum of 4-hour blocks. There are 32 cabins, both premium and standard,

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/SchipholAirportAmsterdam.jpg" class="imgborder"> Competition is heating up at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, where every hotel chain seems to want to open a hotel.

It will be after passport control so transfer passengers can stay there without immigration problems, and passengers departing from Amsterdam with early morning flights will be able to check-in and go through passport control the night before.Not so close to the departure gate but still near the airport, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Marriott%20Hotels">Marriott chain</a>
