The term "luxury-budget" best describes The Hoxton Hotel. It seems contradictory but that is how it is. With "roaring fires and cool cocktails, frette linen and flat screen TVs, sumptuous duck down duvets and free Wi-Fi", you cannot deny that a stay at the Hoxton would mean luxury. The unbelievably low price for all these luxury will not fail to make your jaw drop.

And guess what? It doesn't end there. Another great thing about this luxury-budget hotel is that it is located right in the center of London, very near the best clubs, restaurants and bars.

And (!), unlike other hotels that gets you huffing and puffing because of their hidden charges, the Hoxton will definitely spare you from being ripped off. Guests are offered cheap rates for phonecalls. And rather than paying a ridiculous amount for that bottle of soda from the mini-bar, the hotel has a 24 hour lobby shop where you can get goods at retail prices.

Why is it so cheap? Apparently, the price structure used is the same one being used by budget airlines.

Sadly, those £1 per night rooms have all been snapped up. For the rest of 2006, rooms can be booked at £59 per night during the weekend, while the rate increases to £79 Monday to Thursday. A great deal, imho.

What are you waiting for? Reserve a room now!
