  • No way did they sell out so fast - not when you had to answer the questions as well. I answered superfast and didn't even get a chance to see any availability.

    No luck here either - at least it was over quick tho but once again disappointing. Who on earth got a hotel room - the staff???
  • I got a room :) I went straight for September and completed the whole process in 24 seconds! It is possible just keep trying every time there is a sale :)

  • what the???!
    I really don't see how this was possible. I clicked on the start button as soon as the clock struck midday. I answered the questions as quick as humanly possible (i used google on 2 of them but i am a very fast typer/searcher).
    I seriously dont understand how 460 people could have answered 4 questions and registered thier name etc within 60 seconds

    Grrr.
  • never again I wonder if the days or the dates were right people who MAY have got them wouldnt know when they were going.

    Hoxton....down in my estimation you go,.....get your site right for a PR event like this
    The art of being happy is to be satisfied with what you have :)

    Yay i managed to get a room. Was expecting the questions to be much harder than they were!!!! This is the second time I have managed to get a £1 the other time was a couple of years ago. I hope a few more people on here managed to get a room. I didn't get my first date I wanted but managed to get the day after - just got to book time off from work now :j

    Went to spray water at a blue, ginger and white cat that keeps coming in the garden and by the time I got back they had all gone.

    As I start to write this at 12.01, I can't believe that I click on a link answered the simple questions within 10 seconds and it was sold out in under 30 seconds. 500 Rooms in 60 seconds I wonder if someone was to look into this whether it was just a publicity stunt.
