Michelin Guide "Many of the attractive rooms overlook a peaceful garden."
Concierge "Still run by the family that opened it in 1910, this "elegant property very much like a private English home" is adjacent to Buckingham Palace."
Fodor's "With Buckingham Palace just around the corner, this hotel, built in 1910 and now run by third-generation Gorings, has always been a favorite among discreet VIPs." Full review
DK Eyewitness "It boasts special assets such as a lovely garden and London’s most sumptuous family rooms and children’s facilities."
Star Service "While it does indeed offer guest rooms to rival most any in London in terms of quality, the real joy of a stay here is being in the tender care of wondrous people." Full review
Gayot "Four generations of Gorings have run this hotel since it opened in 1910, and all that experience shows in the extremely high levels of personal service."

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.

"This is hands down the best hotel deal in London." Full review
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."
Condé Nast Traveler78.6
"Add free Wi-Fi, cheap calls to the United States, and a free breakfast bag and you’ll understand the popularity of this 205-room hotel in gritty, trendy Hoxton." Full review
Gayot "Best-known for its sudden but sporadic £1 room sales, the Hoxton Hotel is another addition to the "effortlessly" trendy spots springing up across East London."
Travel + Leisure "This no-frills hotel is known for delivering style and value to its urban travelers." Full review
BlackBook "Hoxton hotel landed with a bang on London Hotel scene back in 2006 with opening rate of £1 a night."
Zagat "This stylish hotel attracts an eclectic mix of creative types, party animals and business travellers thanks to a location that’s in the middle of the Shoreditch nightlife scene."
