Overall I really like the Hoxton. They're clearly trying to cater to a younger audience (late twenties/thirties) and to set themselves apart from a traditional hotel—everything from their interior design to their cocktail bar on the top floor. We ended up upgrading from the snug room as it *did* feel very small, but overall the room was great. My only gripe is that whoever installed the shower clearly never tested it as the design led us to food the bathroom without fail. As for location, it's very central. Great if you want to be downtown. If I had to do it again, I'd probably look for a place East of the river, but if you prefer to be in the thick of it, then this works great.
