    Got a £29 one for 14th july...not the day we originally wanted but at £29 it's affordable enough to be flexible!

    I got one at last, tried 3 times in the past and never managed it yet. I am so pleased, we are doing the moonwalk on the 17th, so I can ret up after it, no need to go straignt on 2 trains to get home, then find I can't get off the train as my muscles have siezed up!

    Its hard work isn't it? I've been here at the pc for an hour.

    Hope others are happy too.

    I definitely want to go to 15 resaurant - anyone been and recommend?

  • Horraaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! I have got £1 room for July!!! :j

    The Roboform was spot on! Without it and HTML link, I wouldn't be able to book!! Many thanks to blindman and dmg24 for making this possible!

    Some might remember what I did last time when I was fiddling with the currency drop list looking for GBP when it wasn't there at all as it was the defult currency!!!! I didn't get it last time!

    I am very happy!! :beer:

    P.S. for future references, this is http://www.roboform.com/ what helped fill the form with one click! But for some reason, it was setting the expiry date of my card to January! So I had to change it to the correct month. Download the free trial one.

    This the link for the HTML https://reservations.ihotelier.com/crs/step1.cfm?hotelid=13279&languageid=1

    I am sorry I didn't post this earlier, but I have forgotten about this offer till 30 min ago when my mobile alarm reminded me about booking!

    Good luck everyone next time!
    Be nice, life is too short to be anything else.

    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...
    I would...it's a fab hotel at any price...well, the sub-£100 prices anyway :)

    If they wanted to, they could have made sure their servers could handle the heavy traffic. Will not load for the £29 rooms now - great marketing tactic
