Gayot
"This superbly trendy choice stay is the product of Philippe Starck, who transformed what was a soulless, '60s shell into a vast, very-twenty-first-century refuge."
BlackBook
"At night, the five-star hotel lights up into individual chambers of different colors, making it very easy to see and yearn to stay at."

Rough Guide
"A fittingly happening spot in this über-hip neighbourhood, with modern but warm public spaces – all exposed brick and burnished metal – and comfy boutique rooms."
Concierge
"For those who thrive on Hoxton's galleries, garment wholesalers, hip clubs, and swank bar-restos... this is a second home."

Avoid the high tourist months of June and July.

Time Out
"Famous for its low rates (including some publicity-garnering £1-a-night rooms), the Hoxton deserves credit for many other things." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Hoxton has been one of London’s trendiest areas in the last few years, and it fittingly has the city’s hippest hotel, with small but inventively styled rooms with plenty of technology."
