Hoxton Hotel £1 sale Starts 2nd July 12PM

februarysong

Refreshed the page at 12.00, by 12.02 I had my confirmation email and at 12.03 I phoned my Mum to tell her the good news! I was so excited. It was a real adrenalin rush watching the timer go down. And I know it's utterly embarrassing I found it so exciting. But that's me, with a £1 room at a posh hotel the night before an interview I've got in London. Suits me much better than a hostel, and the SO is going to come down with me for a night somewhere nice too. We've never been to anywhere with a * rating, money being what it is.

I'm sorry to everyone that was disappointed. I did it on the Safari browser and had zero problem whatsoever. I even had to take a few extra seconds, as I'd not clicked to select a room type, and then I'd not entered a country in the address box. Still, a massive success and I can't wait! :j

Hi,
I got a Friday night in April for £1. Went straight for the date, filled in all my details as quickly as I could (having practised on their page earlier in the morning!) although I did have my debit card no. dsaved in cut and paste memory, and had an email to confirm within 5 mins! I realise I was very lucky, I had Firefox open as well as IE and IE did seem to be ever so slightly faster to load after I refreshed once the countdown clock had hit zero.

It's really a bit of fun and although easy for me to say as I did get a room, I don't think it's worth getting so cross about, as some people seem to be!

Well done to everyone who managed to get one I logged on at midday but kept getting a black screen, then the redirect message then the home page again each time I refreshed. Gave up after a few mins, might have got one if I'd have hung in there but I'm still recovering from the boots all nighter so really couldn't be dealing with another website crash

It happened to me previously, & I emailed [EMAIL="reservations@hoxtonhotels.com"]reservations@hoxtonhotels.com[/EMAIL] & got it sorted out, so try that.

Thanks for advice, I have just got an email back saying they have cancelled the double bookings @ £99.

I won't be in a hurry to take part in their special offers again.

I managed to get a room 14th March- for my 50th :j! (although I am not a big fan of London) as I knew hubby had booked monday after off but at least we would be going somewhere!
BUT rang hubby at work to tell him and he said he'd booked a nice place in Oxford for 2 nights as a surprise but - being the skinflint he is he would prefer to go to the £1 one and go another time to Oxford! (he was paying for 2 nights with Tesco vouchers!)
I tried for day after - got through on £29 room but when got to end it would not process order! gutted!

Just an idea - anyone want to swap :think:? - i booked 14th march but need 15th (see above post) i called the hotel name can be changed - pm me as i think we would need booking no's to do this

I managed to bag one of the five £29 rooms on Valentines Day of all dates!

Yeah all £1 rooms unavailable when I looked so went straight to £29 and typed fast.
Also got 2 nights central London with the gf in the Travelodge sale a few weeks ago - worked out as £7 a night each.
So each paying £28.50 total for: two nights in London PLUS this top hotel on Valentines Day, feel very very lucky, especially as students!

Update
I managed to get a few more days off work so now we are going to Oxford fri/sat night (Tesco deals) and then down to London for the sunday night total cost £1.00 - When I asked hubby if I will be getting a pressie he said "I'm doing the driving aren't I!!" - is this the cheapest 50th birthday??? Thats what you get for being a dedicated money saver I suppose!
