This will be my first time so sorry for the obvious questions, but are there certain dates that can be booked eg. 1st Nov to 1st Dec? Also, Is it only one night? Cant you get two for say the weekend? xx

The dates available for booking a £1 room are 1st November 2008 – 31st January 2009.

You can book a second night but not at the £1 rate (last time a second night was offered for just £29, not sure that will happen this time though).

As it says in the first post the dates are 1st November 2008 – 31st January 2009 - obviously fri/sat are the most popular but have previously gotten a sunday and a monday when required.

As for booking more than one room it does say all your bookings will be cancelled - I guess there are a few ways around this ie if you and a friend book different rooms etc but I;ve only ever booked the one at a time and the peopl on the desk always know how much I've paid as the comment on how I've managed to get the rate before etc.

Its near to Old Street Station on the Northern and Bakerloo line we used when sightseeing and didn't take long to get to places. I think the hotel is very nice and considering the breakfast is more than what I've paid for the room you cant complain (imo)!!

It's chic and swanky! My daughter loved it! They did forget her dinner in the restaurant though but by way of an apology she and her mate got a complete 3 course meal and champagne absolutely free!! They had a fab night and it cost them just £1 :-)

We're looking for a hotel in london for 31st Oct! :@. If we checked 1 minute after midnight then techincally it would be the 1st, could that be possible? We want to sleep between 6am and 2pm after a night out.

I doubt it- but call the hotel if you want to know.
As for what thehotel is like- I love it. I had come up from Old Street before, but realised last time that it isn't far at all from Liverpool Street if you are walking- and less hassled than the underground. Check it out on a map- I tried to post a link but it wouldn't work. If you put walking into the options on google maps directions you will see what I mean.
Its worth considering booking a second night for £29 if you get a £1 room- you have to be quick with those too, but I did that last time and so it was 2 nights for £30. Usually what happens is the site crashes and people are on here moaning that it didn't work and was a con etc etc- but with a bit of perseverance, preparation and a bit of luck you can beat the crowds.

One thing to remember is the don't take Switch or Maestro so make sure you have a Visa card - worse thing is thinking you've got a room but to find out you havent got the right card!

Have managed a couple of these rooms at £1 before so fingers cross for this time

Do you have to pay at the point of booking? Or is it like the LHW you pay on arrival?
