    First time I've tried anything like this and managed to get a £1 room for Sunday 8th June. Then did another booking to get a £29 room for Monday 9th June and we'll see a show or two. :o I have no idea where the hotel is or what it's like!

    £15 a night for a hotel in London, and did I read correctly that it includes breakfast, too? In which case - fab!
    stayed at Hoxton once due to business trip. breadfest was included but it was a banana, an orange juice, and a yogurt in a bag hanging outside the door! so don't build up high hope for posh breakfest...

    You don't get a thanks box on your own posts when you are logged in, Heavenlygee, cos you (sadly! :D) can't thank yourself!
    It will just show edit and quote boxes to you, but to other posters it will show thanks and quote boxes

    Does that make sense or have I made it worse?!!!

    Tripadvisor is also really good. It has visitors' review of their stay. Lots of photos to the right of the page!

    There is a little cafe just beside the hoxton where we had a full english for £3.50 and there are lots of EAT places near where a full english is ( I think £2.90. Actually the grill in the hotel is not extortionate ( £4 for a bacon butty) but there is so much around there that its no problem. The breakfast in a bag is a nice idea.

    luton or stanstead rather than gatwick as they are closer but gatwick has the express train to London so you could use any of them to be fair work out whats easiest and cheapest for you

    Missed it, but last time round £29 was an amazing price anyway. Anyone going will not be dissapointed only if your like 92 and have a hate for contemporary state of the art hoteling.
