Hiya Mandles

Hubbie and I stayed at the Hoxton last saturday, They have lots of fluffy big towels, so don't worry. They also supply you with little bottles of shampoo and conditioner, pears soap. You also get complimentary water bottles adn milk in the fridge and there's teabags, coffee and peppermint tea in the drawer.

have fun, we had an ace time!

It was lovely there thanks. ..very posh . I had a smirk constantly as i was guessing who was from this site. It was very clean and nice though but the films were a bit pants but only a fiver so i cant complain especially as room was £1 !!!!
I was impressed that the mini breakfast is delivered to your room to.

I'm glad everyone had a great time! Thought it was a great deal when I spotted it and thought I'd share it with my fellow MSErs!

You would get the northern line to old street and walk out of exit 3 and walk down the road (dont cross any roads) and you are there. I nearly walked past it!

Many thanks once again to the OP for posting this offer. I was able to book for a Friday night - a Saturday would be better so that we could have gone along to Brick Lane market on Sunday morning, but we had a great time anyway!

The staff could not be friendlier and the atmosphere is very different to the usual chain hotel - vibrant and buzzing with people enjoying a drink or a meal, not just killing time in reception!

The decor is different too - all dark and unusual lighting with mirrored bathroom doors (who else kept walking into the door?!) fabulously thick and LARGE bath towels, big walk-in shower (ours had disabled access/seat as well). Flat screen TV, good welcome pack of tea/coffee making facilities and info about the area.

We enjoyed a meal at the Little Hanoi Vietnamese restaurant in walking distance from the hotel - complete with good singer (not Vietnamese!) and a drink afterwards in the Bricklayers Arms (the place to be on a Friday night!)

Having travelled light with a small backpack, after enjoying our breakfast of orange juice, banana and yoghurt with fruit and cereal - sitting on the chaise longue in our room - we walked to London Bridge via Monument (which you can climb to the top of for £2 and get a great view) the over the bridge to borough Market, which was celebrating 250 years - this is a really great market and buzzing with people as well as plenty of freebies to taste!

As we like walking we continued on foot to the Cambridge Theatre to collect our 1/2 price theatre tickets (LastMinute.com) to Chicago, leaving us enough time to enjoy the delights of the live entertainment, stalls and eateries in Covent Garden before the show...then being real gluttons for punishment we walked to Paddington via Regent Street ( a bit uneccessary, but after seeing several firemen at Oxford Circus Tube Station we didn't fancy the Tube!!!)

What we did like was visiting/staying in a part of London that we were not familiar with - which is why using Shanks Pony is good as it enables you to see things that you would miss on the Tube!
