Security doesn't know where it is. Yay! That's comforting.

[@alancarnell2747]

Doesn't fill me with confidence that security personnel didn't know about it.

[@Yesica1993]

I think it's a fantastic idea! Sure beats sleeping in a chair or on the floor, out in the open with everyone walking around.

[@chel3SEY]

He twice told us the "Yotel" is "very hard to find" yet didn't bother to mention where it is!

[@44suave]

it is literally in the description

[@rukshanw]

I flew through Heathrow in January 2016 and had a 13 hour layover. I had heard about this, but NOBODY knew where they were or that they existed. We took the directions from airport staff and ended up at a spa, which rented rooms by the hour. We had 4 ppl in our group: two adults and two kids. They wanted us to purchase 4 rooms and it would have cost us almost $300 (US) for 6 hours. I would loved to use this, but they really need to tell their own staff about these facilities.

[@ralucadbch]

Very nice, especially the sink and shower facilities. I love it! I consider it very useful for tired passengers.

[@joshleeman3756]

to be honest this is the largest pod hotel room evah

[@Afanlynness]

I really hope more airports set up more yotels in the furture. Long flight(plus connection flight) is always killing me. I can't even survive if I can't find me a place to sleep a little while before I move on my next flight. Yotel is simply the best. I mean I don't even need a Visa and I don't need going through customs either but I will still have a room to sleep, so good for me.

[@yumisoaresgjrum1410]

My husband I booked a yotel back inn 2013. I can't remember if it was Heathrow or Gatwick. We originally bocked a double room. When we got there. Had no problems finding it. We were told that the double rooms where only for 1 adult + 1 child. But theu gave us an extra room for no extra fee. The best part, that we didn't know about before we got there, is that during your stay you have access to the yotel lounge and that includes food that comes included in the price. Pluss they offer spa treatments at an extra cost. Loved it!!!!

[@uprootedbostonian]

Exactly! I too felt it was money well spent and will definitely use them again! It made the world of difference in our long travel.

[@PerryCuda]

Just looked at their website. The hotel is located in terminal 4 just outside of the security area. Prices for overnight range from 87 to 117 BPS.

[@tayg3802]

It's like a rocket ship

[@pavelvankozlowski5944]

i think the hotel is inside the airport so passengers doesn't need to get out of the airport, so 30 pounds for 7 hours is really cheap

[@uprootedbostonian]

I rented a full-sized bed/pod a few years ago at Heathrow and we stuffed FOUR of us (2 adults and two pre-teens) into the room! 3 on the bed and one on the floor. We were between 2 long hauls so it was heaven for us! I even took a shower. It believe it was the equivilent of $65 USDs and was so worth it! We took the next leg of our trip refreshed and happy.

[@ashtongrist]

Who doesn't want to be wide awake for a big long flight

[@DeanNoble14748]

Thank you so much for uploading. I have always wondered about this. Travelling to London, staying in a pod hotel, monorail from Heathrow to downtown London and back.

[@Ndogg012]

The Hotel seems like it would kick ass. Seems nice and cozy!

[@user-sd7qt3hy8l]

It's like a really nice prison cell...That you can walk out of.

[@tinapatina]

Thanks! I actually ended up using one of the double beds for one person (only thing they had) and it was heaven!!!! It's true about the minimalist part but after been awake for nearly 48 hours even the floor would've looked comfortable! hahahaha And i know some people might said it's way too expensive but I got a good 4 hours of sleep, a nice shower and took the train to my destination for about 110 pounds, whereas a taxi from the airport with no sleep/shower would've cost me about 220 pounds!

[@dkannegi]

About bang on for that taxi (270 quid is what I coughed up) - had to do that in December 2010 when Heathrow shut down for 2cm of snow. Ended up giving Air Canada the middle finger and resorting to 1 CDN AIR DIV for an airlift that was doing a stopover at Scotland from KAF. Thankfully the taxi was reimbursed by my gov't, and being on duty travel made getting on the mil flight quite easy .

[@DavBlc7]

Almost like in Japan where the idea of a tiny hotel room started. Japanese style sleeping lol!

[@mabutoo]

Airports are overcrowded and need high speed rail to relieve the congestion of our skies.

[@bluetheta]

This is not bad at all; it is similar to a room on the Amtrak sleeper service. I will remember this if I get stuck at Heathrow.

[@hoofbags]

better than having to sleep in the street!

[@AnaKhaleesi]

This was really helpful, thanks!!

[@TheBesthotel]

very cost effective when sleeping is the only thing you do in a hotel

[@Popsicles]

hahahahahaha!! That sound effect before the video changes to "the morning after" - i thought you had accidently dropped or kicked something and the whole bed was collapsing. ahh lol.

[@HunterMann]

Seems like a cabin on a train. I'm game for it. Normally on layovers of 6 to 10 hours I just rent the cheapest car I can find at an airport, go out to their parking lot, get in, recline the seat and go to sleep. It ends up being less than $30 US

[@naitodetsu]

wow so cool! I think this is a good option between capsule hotels in Japan and regular hotels. I would love to stay in one of these!

[@MarcusLeepapi]

That's not bad..... A shore lay-over... Ok, I know now if I am making connetions in London, this is an additional option.... Cool.

[@TheFamilarity]

I am going to try it!

[@fakehumour3948]

At least this one comes with its own shower.

[@WorldStove]

love it. who would need more?

[@chappye7]

Thats cool

[@buckeyehockey1979]

I am way too clostraphobic for this. But awesome idea

[@BlazefireSaber]

I would love to live there lol just want a bigger TV&Internet ;)

[@angelprincess12345]

cool!

[@anthonymccarthy4164]

You ever think of posting this as an ASMR video?

[@fewshun]

Epic

[@Asainsqukbox]

ive slept in one there it was cool they have bigger ones

[@safiagirl]

im from london i did not know they had tiny pod room lucky you

[@jessicaknight2603]

Ayeeeee I live near Heathrow 😂 ma dad works there to 😂

[@TrinkusBinkus]

So yo could go to the bathroom, wash your hands, and shower all at the same time! :D

[@tonimaldonado4915]

cool ☕

[@wtr643]

Wow, cool place. I'll be flying to New York through Heathrow on May 24th, will be fun to visit this place =) Bruce, can you please tell me, what is the price of the room? Tahnks

[@oliverballam7]

It's a foldable seat no a clothes hanger by the way

[@tinapatina]

Might be using this when I go to Heathrow. Quick question, do two people fit on the bed? Cause the website says that the standard room has a bed which is "cozy for two" but I rather hear it from someone that has stayed there :)

[@mixflip]

can you sleep in there with your spouse? or is it one person only?

[@tinapatina]

About room service, you get an alarm clock if you ask for it and I had food from the Costa on the first floor, think that was cheaper than their room service.

[@overactive1]

that hotel must have lot of bathrooms because everyroom has one, and if you poop the whole room is gonna stink but still cool tho

[@godsamazinggrace5331]

That's not too bad There's a washroom in there Mostly do not have such Have to use common washroom

[@jermainebalandra221]

how much is it per hour?

[@alienhddna]

how the food and how fast is the internet

[@sistermariedawn]

also in birmingham,uk

[@skipsassy1]

The salesman or CEO forgot to mention the two most important things: Whether the hot shower works well (critical to a sticky tired traveler)) and the price of the tiny decades old design. I doubt they do not advertise? Absurd with the cost of the real estate by location. I believe the trekkers that go to K2 and Mt Everest would love something like this. An Apple hostel you could say! Great idea, but easily copied, and if it were soundproof he should talk at normal decibels. Yes, I am a lawyer and business investor. Too bad his hotel is copied in cold weather climate layover airports, train stations and of course expensive cities. Thy had these in Holland in 1982, and I sat in the shower, you could not stand up. And remember, in Europe, private bathrooms were an oddity reserved for Americans, very rare. Some of the pod hotels have shared but private showers and toilets - that doesn't bother me at all. Easy to make a reserve gadget for the showers. I would add a hot tub, steam and sauna in one that is looking for whole week clients for a couple of extra Euros per (toll booth concept Sure, better than stuck in a 4-5 star airport hotel, but the problem is this is not like discovering Coke or Apple before anyone else did. I am sure Marriott and others have studied these for decades.

[@bigrip5403]

nobody cares if you are a lawyer or an investor, don't need to add that you are nobody here on youtube

[@luispt84]

@BruceFenton well, if you go to hotels of 150 pounds per night, i find it quite expensive

[@gizmo664100]

make me think of portal

[@niptodstan]

Why can't councils have these for the homeless to sleep in? You could almost live in that.

[@jessiejfan23]

totally agree

[@davidtbond2159]

It will only add to the homeless problem.

[@gtanner997]

+David T Bond Actually, that isn't true. www.trutv.com/shows/adam-ruins-everything/blog/adams-sources/adam-ruins-housing.html

[@gtanner997]

Miike Hunt Vague content? Sorry, I thought you could find the multiple links in the article that show that housing the homeless gives them a home base to grow and become productive from, and saves the community money. I figured facts were better than an opinion.

[@niptodstan]

So we leave them to freeze on the streets? A dry bed and food is nothing for a rich society to provide for its people. Councils could take people off the streets and open factories to build these things. Then people like me (my own house etc) can sleep at night with a clear conscience. While I'm at it. Poverty has no place in Britain. we are too rich for it to be accepted. if you have an iPhone and a 50 inch TV, you're not in poverty.

[@electricbluelucifer3397]

toilet and shower in the same tiny room?? hows the smell?? right after a shower hows the humidity? and whats the price???

[@chileanyways1275]

Well don't moan about it because it's better than leaving the room to take a shit or piss

[@alicewalter5009]

ElectricBlue Lucifer it is none of Your beeswax

[@wcresponder]

Hmmm valid question with a rude response.

[@tigi682]

1. who does the laundry when you're done? 2. your squeaky shoes have just woken everyone up next door

[@Larry]

yotel? are they owned by yo sushi?

[@TMFKSOFT]

On a random video spree too Larry? :P

[@Larry]

Thomas Edwards I got here from a video on can mercury be flushed down a toilet. :S

[@TMFKSOFT]

ah, codyslab?

[@ShineAqua]

Dammit Larry, I'm fiending for another hit of fact hunt already, and here I find you commenting on a silly video of a guy living in a box for a night. This better be for research.

[@Larry]

ShineAqua Yeah Peter Molyneux invented them.

[@wilfridfred1055]

And most important...... How much???

[@vermilliongecko]

I saw one room which was 10 Euros per hour.

[@YocoolKids]

£174 for a standard cabin (1 person) p/n, £214 for a premium cabin (2 people) p/n, and £234 for a premium family cabin - (two adults & two children) p/n. (prices via website and unable to book via other hotel companies for cheaper deals). So it's basically the price of a 5* hotel in London.

[@samuelgamble7709]

You would struggle at that. £250 at least. Hotels like the Dorchester, the Ritz or Browns will set you back £500 a night.

[@wilfridfred1055]

It not""an struggle"lol,but if you made something about how it cool to have that,tell the people the fondamental point,cause i guess in your world nothing free right!

[@YocoolKids]

Samuel Gamble Struggle getting a hotel in London? My friend, I got a 5* hotel situated right by St Pauls for £130 a night. A lot of decent central 4* - 5* hotels are normally £150-220 per a night if you can do your research. Like if you're choosing world famous, over price hotel, then yeah, pay your price.

[@sundersart]

I used one of these at Amsterdam airport and it was full of prostitutes,and itwas cold as hell. plus the tv didnt work. i was pretty tired though. to work it.

[@tjfSIM]

That looks pretty cool, but to be honest for £15 more, you could probably get a room in Premier Inn! :)

[@travellovelivelife7479]

Too small especially if you are clusterfobic

[@wcresponder]

clusterfobic? ...is that like feminist?

[@williamgalley1481]

Claustrophobic, maybe?

[@hydrolito]

5 bedroom sounds like a house and 15 k sq. foot room who that heck has those. 3 bedroom house is about 1.6 k. 5 bedroom house maybe 2.5 k why would a single room be 15 K sq foot?

[@HughMadBro]

You don't want to be loud but your annoying shoes probably squealed through the hallway 😑

[@DrDLay]

Ik ben belg

[@jamesa0330]

anyone who likes these rooms must be desperate. NO AIR, never mind NO AC, yes they are like a submarine..... claustrophobic. By the time you have finished toweling down after a shower in this airless, windowless "room", you will have worked up enough sweat to merit another shower! A real rip off !

[@uprootedbostonian]

I rented a full-sized bed/pod a few years ago at Heathrow and we stuffed FOUR of us (2 adults and two pre-teens) into the room! 3 on the bed and one on the floor. We were between 2 long hauls so it was heaven for us! The bed was remarkably comfortable and the room could be darkened completely or to the light level you desire. Yes, 2 persons could use this for a quick refreshing layover. It is minimalist.....but has everything you might need for a "short" stay.
