We already peeked in on the CitizenM airport hotel at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport today and now we can follow that up with a review from a reader on the newest airport hotel over there--Yotel Schiphol.

You know Yotel, the budget-friendly hotel chain located inside Gatwick and Heathrow airports with rooms that look (and are spaced) like cruise ship cabins? Well, they're opening a location at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on September 30 and are looking for some people to toss back a few drinks with in celebration.

Interested in imbibing? Through December, book one of the 57 cabins available at the hotel and get a free bottle of champagne. Just e-mail customer@yotel.com with your booking reference number and you'll be breaking out the bubbly before you can say "felicitaties." (That's Dutch for congratulations.)

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

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!"
