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.
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"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

Rough Guide "A fixture on Clerkenwell’s laidback hipster scene. Rooms are simple but bold, with colourful panache and lots of eco touches."
Michelin Guide "A trendy and discreet converted 19C warehouse with well-equipped bedrooms that come with pleasant touches, such as Penguin paperbacks."
Frommer's "It was only a matter of time before a hotel blended the edgy Shoreditch scene with the creature comforts demanded by City types." Full review

Ask for a room at the rear of the hotel -- they back onto a quiet square.
Concierge "Almost best of all, the rates are (for London) way low."
Fodor's "The dizzying five-story atrium, Art Deco staircase, and slick European restaurant hint at the delights to come in this converted warehouse." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Zetter comprises two quite different properties, both exemplary in their execution." Full review
Time Out "Zetter is a fun, laid-back, modern hotel with some interesting design notes." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In an area known for its loft apartments, this is a loft hotel in a 19th-century warehouse."
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"This Victorian warehouse turned 59-room hotel on London’s heavily trafficked Clerkenwell Road is missing nary a detail of what constitutes a cutting-edge big-city boutique hotel." Full review
Gayot "This Clerkenwell lodging goes for ultrahip with its Champagne-and-camera-stocked vending machine, hot water bottles, second hand books and Scandinavian/industrial style."
