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, the Hoxton deserves credit for many other things. First, there’s the hip Shoreditch location – hip enough for Soho House to have taken over the downstairs..." 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."

"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

Travel + Leisure "This no-frills hotel is known for delivering style and value to its urban travelers." Full review

Michelin Guide "One of London's most famous hotels... retaining an elegant British feel."
Frommer's "Traditionalists opt for the Old Wing but we prefer the New Wing -- it's where the Connaught's mix of the old and new is most successful." Full review
Concierge "For those who enjoy being pampered, the staff-to-guest ratio of 3:1 ensures service with all the trimmings."
Fodor's "A huge favorite of the "we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else" monied set since its opening in 1917, the Connaught has many dazzlingly modern compliments to its famously historic delights." Full review

"The Connaught is just one of a fraternity of clubby old grand hotels, any one of which would be by some distance the top hotel in just about any other town." Full review
Time Out "This isn’t the only hotel in London to provide butlers, but there can’t be many that offer ‘a secured gun cabinet room’ for hunting season." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Mayfair’s historic grand hotels, the Connaught has undergone an imaginative renovation, combining its historic features with contemporary gadgets and refined modern design."
