Yotel Schiphol Less Than Perfectly Peaceful

Where: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Lounge 2, Amsterdam, Netherlands

It's now a few months since the newest purple capsule, the Yotel Schiphol, opened up in Amsterdam’s airport. We were wondering if anybody had been able to sleep well there, because that purple approach lighting always stresses us a bit.

Well, apparently experiences have been mixed. While some guests have been perfectly happy at the newest Yotel--notably including people who had already tried the Yotel Gatwick--others obviously found Yotel's Give Bed Peace a Chance campaign quite ironic. One guest complained of being able to hear every move the guest in the next room made, despite using the complimentary earplugs, and even worse:

These guests walk up and down the narrow corridors with screaming babies. They shout at one another from room to room. It is far from restful.

Our summary? The Yotel is just what it is: a not unreasonable airport alternative. With scarily boring corridors like the one in this picture, you can't expect perfection, right?
