In Firefox I was in at spot on 12pm, but it wasn't functioning properly in that browser, very clumsy interface and website - Hoxton sort it out - very disappointing.

Tried with IE, but site is crashing obviously due to traffic. It won't load, just reporting errors.

Congrats to those who bagged a cheap room!

I had the same problem with Firefox, got all the way to the end and when I tried to submit the order wouldn't go through

So all you people also trying to get 7th June - are you off to the Red Bull Flugtag??

Or are you waiting to hear about tickets for those as well (what ever did we do before the internet??

Just tried to get a room for £1 but they've all gone!
Typical!

Hope the rest of you had better luck!

Managed to get a £29.00 for 24.5.8. Really pleased as I have been twice before at £1.00 .Well done to all who got a £1.00 room. It is fabulous!!

Got mine without any problems(same as last time)- but I'm using Safari so not sure if that helped

I got one too! Huzzah! I used OmniWeb (a browser for OS X that uses the same "engine" as Safari) and the HTML booking system: had the dates entered ready on the first page, then hit the "check reservations" button the moment the flash countdown hit zero. Worked like a charm

Congrats to all who succeeded :beer: to everyone else, I hope you have better luck next time!

this is crazy i clicked on at 12 midday and now its still counting down to 12 midnight!!

It's help if their site wasn't flash based at the booking stage, at least you'd not wait an age for it to load.

It's obviously a wheeze to get people to buy the slightly more expensive rooms, after all would you normally choose to stay in Hoxton when visiting London?

The should have traffic management on the server, let through the first 500 (people to book), and block the rest of the traffic, be much more sensible...

keep trying and check your emails

i've got a room but it never gave me a confirmation page, just a blank screen after the CC part............. checked my email and its there.. booked with confirmation number :T

Same thing happened with me. I'm panicking a bit now though because I didn't think it had worked so kept hitting the back button and resubmitting. I hope they don't think I was trying to book more than one and cancel my rooms or, even worse, charge me at full rate for another 3 rooms!
