Yotel - the smallest UK based hotel rooms

I had to take a trip to Jersey on an early flight so booked myself into this place at Gatwick South Terminal
http://www.yotel.com/. From the company that brought us Yo! Sushi comes Yotel!. Remember Simon Woodroffe who was a Dragon in the first series of Dragon's den? It's all his idea. He wanted to mimic Japanese sleep capsules but with a more sophisticated westernised edge. Inspired by first class sleeper beds on British Airways he contacted the designers and worked with them to develop the Yotel cabins. Your room is very small and compact but it actually has everything you need to rest your weary head. The quality is excellent. I'd go again for sure.

    Nope. Gatwick stayed closed all day so I drove home. Nevermind. Enjoyed the night at the Yotel even if sitting around at Gatwick for 7 hours the next day was a little boring.
