    Do NOT use the FLASH page- it can't cope.

    TIP:
    1) Do a dummy booking now for your dates to see if the Hotel has availability.

    2) Download and install an AUTO fill tool to help with filling in the form. e.g Roboform- 30day free trial
    Practice using it before the big day!

    I believe you stand a chance of winning a room.

    Just as fast.
    They are still worth it though.

    Sorry blindman, I didn't mean to make fun, I just thought I could access the HTML page on the Hoxton website. I don't see a link to it on the hotel website. So I'll use your link to access it. Thanks for providing it.

    really new and learning,

  • would just like to mention that I missed out on the £1 rooms because I didn't read the Hoxton website properly. When I visited there was a countdown going on to 12 noon to be able to book - what I didn't pick up was the fact that the countdown was irrelevant as it was for 12 noon BST - this is important because the rooms went on sale at 12 noon GMT (which is effectively 11 am BST!). BEWARE - or maybe I'm the only daft one!

    That's strange because the links to the £1 rooms was not enabled until after the countdown. In any case, I couldn't get a room, I wish I had known about the HTML site instead.
