I've stayed at both Rest n Fly and Yotel Gatwick this year, and pseudoswede's review is spot on - thanks for that. It's a very convenient and friendly place, particularly for any bmi DC members taking an early morning ex-ARN miles & cash redemption flight

I must say I infinitely preferred Rest n Fly to the Yotel. The Yotel rooms are much, much, much smaller - kept hitting my head on everything, and hitting my feet on the end of the bed. There is no human interaction at all at the Yotel - woe betide you misplacing your booking code, because everything is computerised and nobody will come to help you. OK, you have a wetroom, but it really does get everything soaking WET (tip: use the toilet before showering), and in any case, most FT-ers can get a decent shower in the lounge before take-off. And the walls really are paper thin at the Yotel - or maybe the guests are just more considerate in Stockholm?

About the only upside of the Yotel is the uber-high-tech TV with free wi-fi for when you can't sleep...
