"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."

"Famous for its low rates (including some publicity-garnering £1-a-night rooms), the Hoxton deserves credit for many other things." Full review

"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."

"Two Victorian houses with open, modern lobby and secluded, south-facing garden terrace. Bedrooms come in bold, warm colours; 'Garden Rooms' have their own patios."

"Proof that London high style doesn't always come with a high price tag... All are bright and airy with large windows and simple lines, but we prefer the garden units with their own private patios." Full review

"Outside, there's little to distinguish this white stucco Victorian from the many downscale hotels along this none-too-beautiful stretch of Cromwell Road, but inside, it's instant cheer."
Fodor's Fodor's
"Despite being on the notoriously traffic-clogged Cromwell Road, this excellent little place is one of the best boutique hotels in this part of London." Full review

"With an understated-cool design ethos, things are muted, dapper and more than a tad minimalist at 'budget boutique' 40-room Rockwell." Full review
