Hoxton Hotel, London: £1 room sale
What: £1 room sale
Valid for stays: 6 Sept
How: Book online Book on: Noon, Thurs 2 July
Where: Hoxton, London Hotel type: Up-market

An up-market hotel in London’s Hoxton will be offering rooms for £1 a night for stays between 1 1 Aug - 31 Oct 2009. The price even includes breakfast! Hoxton Hotel does this as a regular publicity event, yet getting them’s a lottery; it’s all about timing and luck.

There will be 500 rooms at the special rate, and you can book them online when the sale kicks off at Thursday 2 July at 12.00pm (midday). To get it, go to its website at the right time. The hotel have run this £1 offer six times before and the rooms went like proverbial hotcakes

You can only grab one room at the special price and it's warned if you book more it will cancel all your bookings.

At that price, surely the rooms can't be that good? See for yourself: check out the hotel's photo gallery or visit the Trip Advisor review. This is a mid to higher level little hotel; which you'd probably expect to pay £50 - £80 a night for. This £1 promotion is exactly that; a marketing promotion. Hence if you can grab it, do!

Yeah tried this went through all the steps, didn't get the room. I'd say those who got the rooms had pre-registered their details (credit card, postal address, email address, etc...) it's entering those that takes the time.

It's not that great an offer for Irish people anyway, because you can only book 1 room for 1 night at the £1 rate. Unless you cheat and use a different credit card for a second night??

Cheers to the OP, I managed to get one of the special £1 rooms for the night of the Community shield between Man Utd and Chelsea.. Bargain!

I stayed in that hotel before..it's not bad. Full of beautiful / trendy people if you get my drift. Rooms are quiet small.
