But I found with 2 persons, the setup was not comfortable. If you want to get out of the bed to use the toilet, you have to climb over the other person, not sure where a third, even a very small child would fit. For a single person, it might be ok.
Since that, I've always booked the Hilton, S Terminal, which just across the parking lot.
Thank you.
I haven't experienced a "capsule type" room before, so I don't know what to expect. Hilton/Bloc are approx. same $
I am a little concerned about us all fitting @ Bloc with 2 carry-ons, backpack, diaper bag, stroller, and checked bag...Although we are only there for 3-4 hours tops, so even if I had to go sit with the luggage landside and wife/baby went for a rest, would be ok.
How much further is Hilton to BA international departures? I was just thinking Bloc since its in the terminal, probably a fairly quick check in/out process.
