Yotelair very much takes on the whole jetsetting thing to a tee: the front desk is marked ‘Mission Control’. Their cute little series of rooms take inspiration from Japan’s capsule hotels: think small, think efficient, think dinky. They’re even described as ‘cabins’, so when you wake up, you might be forgiven for thinking you’re already cruising at high altitude. Each has a flatscreen TV, a pull-out workstation with desk, an en-suite with monsoon shower, and free wi-fi.
This is a good shout us you’re looking for a cheap ’n’ cheerful place to kip before or after a flight – with a little bit of novelty thrown into proceedings. Do take advantage of the free hot drinks available 24/7, too.

Twickenham Stadium, the world’s largest rugby union venue.
Southall, a west London area famed for its Punjabi snacks and sweets.
Time Out tip: If you’re in need of just a short kip – Yotel is bookable by the hour. (No sniggering, please.)
