“Pretenciously modern but not up to expectations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

I paid over 300 pounds to stay in this hotel on a Monday. Maybe because it's the corporate rate since I know the same room cost only 69 pounds the previous night booked independently but i was awefully disappointed by it.

The lobby and the restaurant area are very nice, funky design that reminds to a NY upscale cafeteria with a very urban a warm vibe. The staff is nice and helpful and the contrast between the jeans dress code at reception and the fully dressed-up waiters at the restaurant is refreshing.

The rooms however are nothing to be thrilled about. Quite small but decent size for London standards, buildt in shower, no bath tub, veryt basic amenities, minimalistic design that borderlines dull and views to a dodgy alleway complete the pack or an awefully cold room!
Not even the airconditioned could compensate the chilly room and I woke up to a horrible sensation of not wanting to leave the bed.

Just for claification, I was part of a bigger group and every single one of us made the same comment about the temperature.

So generally, even thought the hotel has it's positives, it is definetely not worth the astronomic price, for that money, you will be better off elsewhere.

Hi DarianaG,

Thanks so much for taking the time to write. We are so pleased you liked the lobby and the restaurant, however were sorry to read your comments regarding the price. Unlike other hotels we use the airline style of pricing where the sooner you book, the cheaper the rate is. Our rates don't go up and down like a crazy rollercoaster, however lower rates do sell out fast.

Please do drop me a line at timothy@thehox.com, as we'd love to welcome you back and ensure your room is snug, and your stay memorable for all of the right reasons.

With thanks,
Timothy and the Hox Team

“Nice style, shame about the details”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

This is the second stay I have had in this hotel, and this time was for 3 nights. The reception and rooms are impressive, in a basic manner. However if it is going to be basic, everything should work well, and it didn't. We had issue with the Internet, showers, and the service is only ok.
Not worth the money

“Hoxton London, will return”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Small cosy rooms, excellent lounge, very friendly staff. At first seemed a bit far away, but quite easy to get to. Dont expect a traditional london hotel! This is a different concept. Eat, drink, hang out in the lounge which gets as crowded as a popular pub in the late afternoon.

Room Tip: Look out for deals!

“Great boutique hotel in the heart of shoreditch”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Great hotel in the heart of shoreditch. Very close to Old Street tune and a 10 min walk to the city. Rooms were clean and relatively quiet and the foyer was v shoreditch chic with a great restaurant and very friendly staff. Would recommend it and will be staying again.
