easyHotel South Kensington Review
London's first "pod hotel" has tiny rooms with a double bed, private shower room, and little else, each brightly decorated in the easyGroup's trademark orange and white (to match their budget airline easyJet). The reception desk can't offer much in terms of service, and everything costs extra: £10 per day for room cleaning during your stay; £5 per 24 hours for a TV; £1 each for fresh towels. WiFi ranges from £1 for 15 minutes to £30 for 30 days with various options between. The concept is a huge hit—it's fully booked months in advance and several branches have opened (the website details locations).
