What's it about?
An upmarket hotel in Hoxton, London will be offering rooms for £1 a night for stays between 1st February 2009 – 30th April 2009. The price even includes breakfast! Yet it's a lottery, to get them is all about timing and luck.
It does this as a regular publicity event, there will be 500 rooms at the special rate, and you can book them online when the sale kicks off at...
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 (if that's not working due to traffic, 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!
Why the hurry if they're not available yet?
The hotel have run this £1 offer six times before and the rooms went like proverbial hotcakes (though many of those were MoneySavers as each time it's available, it goes in the weekly email).
It's a bit of a lottery who gets them, as you'll see from past reports. If you are looking to stay in London between 1st February 2009 – 30th April 2009, then get online at 12pm sharp (or better still from about 15 mins before)
What if I can't get a £1 room?
Once the £1 rooms are sold out for a particular night the next cheapest discounted price is £29, still not a particularly bad price for a room in London as these rooms can go for over £100.

P.S. Thanks to meinnit and the others for posting this.
