"Discreet and rejuvenated hotel with rooftop pool and opulently decorated bedrooms."
Frommer's
"The Berkeley's winning formula remains intact -- a classic Art Deco grand hotel but with the kind of understated, helpful service that sets it apart from stuffier neighbors."

Request one of the refurbished rooms; some of the older units are looking a little tired.

"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."

"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.

"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."
