Hoxton Hotel London £1 room sale

xraylady

Just got notice about £1 room sale starting 27th Jan @ 12.00. Havent stayed there, but seems to be near to tube station "Old Street". I think these £1 sales are usually sold out within minutes tho'. Might interest someone...

Hello all...I stayed here last year on a visit to London and it was really cool. The street itself is very east end london and initially as I was on my own I panicked but I must say I had a really lovely time. The hotel is very modern and "urban cool" if that makes sense. Breakfast involves a banana, yogurt and orange juice left in a brownpaper bag hanging off your door! Very comfy bed and lovely toiletries. I paid a good bit for the room. If you can get the cheap deals well worth it but according to other sites hard to get these and you more likely to get the £29 ones...hth

it says you can book only one room one night for one pound. second night is normal price

dubmick

stayed here before, it's a grand hotel. It's walking distance from Upper Street in Islington and also Shoreditch. Rooms are small but functional. They do that £1 deal every year.

Cud ye not just do separate bookings, or would they cop it?

I just tried to register with them, to make booking quicker tomorrow. I appear to have booked a room for £200. Thankfully it was just an old 3V number that has a couple of euro on so they can't charge me the £200.

Was trying to get a VERY cheap birthday present for my brother.

Just back from Old Street myself, stayed in the Travelodge on City Road. Area is grand, tube is on the northern line so will whip you off to Kings Cross or Bank fairly quick, would have no problem staying there again.

I tried running a ping and tracert to it. Looks like their servers have died. Getting nothing back at all!

MidlandsM

Victims of their own PR!

rameire

Maybe they have to to update it for 12 noon for the sale??

Lets hope anyway!!!

antodeco

Problem is that their whole site is down. It wouldnt make sense to drop the whole site. I logged on at 9am and was watching the countdown. I just decided to refresh to see what happened!! :mad:

rameire

Thats exactly what I did too Fingers crossed it comes back in time

antodeco

its back!

rameire

Woo Hoo!

antodeco

Im afraid to hit refresh!!

antodeco

1 minute to go! Best of luck (even though you are the competition!!)

RedXIV

Anyone else getting nothing?

unreggd

Bahhh nothin but an empty web page

rameire

cant even get the deal page up

irish_goat

Is it working for anyone? I'm getting a page loading up with no options on it.

antodeco

Just the big cream circle on orange!!

consultech

circle here too... Hmmm.

irish_goat

All you guys close the page and stop trying and I'll let you know if it works then sure... :pac:

Well done! You are the only one so far! I couldn't get anything up on the web page apart from that circle. When I googled the hotel, there is a message up saying the sale is over?????

You can't even get into the normal hotel site to see if you can make a booking on one of the other special offers.

Well, enjoy your stay anyway, we're all jealous!

I reckon that means it's over already. What a waste of time.

.... and now I have a page up saying the sale starts in 10 minutes!!

antodeco

Its really odd. I managed to get into the reservations page before the other poster, yet it was all of the normal rates!!???

EDIT: It was within 5 minutes of the sale starting!

buzz55

Dunno why I bother, it never seems to work :mad:

Constant refreshing doesn't seem to make any difference, and now I'm back to the circle again.

Bah

unreggd

Well that was a loada me bollix

antodeco

On the reservation page again, but now it wont let me select any dates!!

They really should have a site capable of dealing with these amount of enquiries!

rameire

i give up...lifes too short!

Travel is good

I'm so disappointed. Like all of you, I was looking forward to a break in London. I think we all need a holiday now, after the week we've had.

Does anyone else know of any good inexpensive hotels (central or near a tube station) in London?

marrm

I think their whole site is up sh1t creek now - no matter which page you try to access, you get the white-circle sale page. :mad:

keep on tryin'!!

RedXIV

Well lads, I made a balls of that....booked the wrong date, anyone wants to go on Feb 4th till Feb 5th, let me know

antodeco

I got in and everything then it crashed on me. Booked the dates, input credit card details and everything!
I then hit finsh reservation and it died!!! :mad:

marrm

IT'S OVER. SOLD OUT!

I got in - constant refreshing just brought up the white circle page from your browser cache.

I went to a different browser, got into the sale, found 1-2 days left in Feb, looked at March, nothing left, back to Feb - all gone. :mad::mad:


BOO

antodeco

I had managed to get the 22nd April, but then it crashed!! :mad: Im really annoyed over it now! Thank god Ill be in New York this day two weeks!

From their website:
"500 rooms sold out in 10 minutes!Why not try to grab one of our other bargains?"

Well, Hoxton Hotels.... Why not grab yourself a server and software that can handle your clever marketing ploy. Ain’t no such thing as bad publicity. How many people are now aware of the Poxt..... sorry, I mean the Hoxton Hotel who had never heard of it before? A half hour of my life that I’ll never get back. :mad:

antodeco

I was within their reservation page within that 10 minutes a few times, and it never once gave me the £1 rate. When it did give me one, it took all my details, tried processing my card, then had a server error! I better not be charged!!

RedXIV

seriously, anyone want my booking? 4th of feb?

MidlandsM

I got a room for £1 .............for a date I randomly picked and now can't go. Still, I happily let any of you have it for £100....LOL
