Located in the Shoreditch area in central London, the Hoxton Hotel is a hip hotel opened in September 2006. It's really convenient - just 3 minutes’ walking distance from Exit 3 of the tube station - Old Street.

I stayed there in summer 2007 for 5 nights. When I stepped into the hotel, I knew I’d found the right place. The lobby is designed in a hip-industrial style built with concrete brick walls. On each side of the lobby is the lounge, furnished with leather sofas, a fireplace and modern paintings.
At the foyer, there’s Art on display (as shown in the photo).
The staff was helpful and polite. We arrived 2 hours before the check-in time and the staff allowed us to have early check-in.Though the air-conditioned room is a little bit small, it's really cozy, modern and well-facilitated- with a 32" satellite LCD TV, a couch, a fridge with 2 bottles of mineral water (free-of-charge), a safe and the best thing is the free Wi-Fi service in room (usually this is charged in other hotels).
Moreover, the bathroom is super clean. It's exactly like the photos shown from the website.
Up to now, maybe you’re thinking that the room rate must be very expensive. Well, I booked this double-bed room 4 months in advance and it’s just ￡59 per night (VAT included). Of course, the earlier you book, the cheaper rate it offers. It's really unbelievable to find such a comfortable and elegant accommodation in central London for just ￡59! The Hoxton Hotel is the one!
Another bonus point is the breakfast. How can this low-rate room include a Prêt-A-Manger breakfast (with yogurt, banana and orange juice)? It's really fantastic!
Just remember to hang the paper bag (shown in the photo) over the door knob outside before you go to bed at night and write down the time you would like to have the breakfast. The next day, you’ll find the bag with the aforesaid breakfast.
What's more, the Hoxton Hotel was awarded "Best London Hotel" - Sunday Times Travel Magazine 2008 Readers' Awards. I'll absolutely stay in the Hoxton Hotel if I visit London again.
