Fodor's Review:

This trendy, East London hotel sits in the eponymous neighborhood and is designed to reflect the funky galleries and small boutiques for which the area is known. It claims to combine a country-lodge lifestyle with true urban living, and to that end its lobby has both crackling fires and cool cocktails, and the comfortable guest rooms have Frette linen sheets, down comforters, and free Wi-Fi. The design throughout is contemporary—but not so modern as to be absurd. There's still wood furniture and soft carpets. The bar is popular with local office workers, and the Hoxton Grille restaurant combines American steak-house style with French bistro chic. All rooms come with a free healthful breakfast of yogurt and fruit. Pros: cool-looking place; every night five rooms in this hotel are priced at £1, but you'll need to join the mailing list. Cons: restaurant and bar can be crowded in the evening; area is a bit off the beaten tourist track.
