Unfortunately the one night limitation makes this a much less appealing offer than last time...
The Famous Hoxton £1 Sale is Back!
Our BIGGEST Sale Yet
On 4th October at 12:00 noon we will release 595 rooms at £1 and 595 rooms at £29, available only on our website for dates between the 5th October 07 – 31st January 2008.
During our last sale, we sold over 1200 rooms in 27 minutes and we had over 100,000 people trying to book these rooms. Given this huge amount of interest you may not get a room for either a £1 or £29. However, we will have rooms available from £59 and great deals over the Christmas period and January. New Years Eve is available from an extraordinary £99.
To make the sale as fair as possible all the usual rules apply, you are only allowed to book one room, for one night at a £1. If we find anyone misbehaving we will cancel all their bookings (and definitely no free Beer).
Our software has been improved since the last sale (fingers and toes crossed…) but the booking system is still the same, hence the room is not yours until you receive a confirmation number by e-mail. To help make the process easier and to try and reduce confusion please read our step-by-step guide (below) of how to book.
Good luck

They've had the one 1 pound room/person for the last couple of promos--if they find more than one, they'll cancel both, so just sign up your SO or travel companion for the second one.
I got one of these earlier in the year and love the hotel--here's a link to a blog piece I wrote w/photos and info about transport, neighborhood, etc. (scroll down to the bottom of the page). The piece above it is about Hakkasan, London's much ballyhooed (unjustly, IMHO) Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant. Enjoy and good luck on 10.4!

Looks like the site initially crashed, then it went back online very slowly. People using autofillers fared better than people who didn't. You might want to take a booking to the confirmation stage using an autofiller in order to prepare you for when the sale goes online.

ah and it appears that the trick is to use the HTML interface through this link: https://reservations.ihotelier.com/c...9&languageid=1
