Rough Guide "Quirky guesthouse that manages to be both homely – thanks to some lovely period furniture – and chic; the rooms are huge."
Frommer's "The term home-from-home is bandied around all too frequently when hotels are discussed, but the Main House deserves the tag." Full review
Concierge "Thanks to posh ex-nightclub owner Caroline Main, you too can be a Notting Hill bohemian."

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."

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."

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
