We stayed in the Hoxton for 4 nights in April. The hotel is situated in a prime position between the Singel and Herengracht canals, perfectly positioned for sightseeing. We booked a 'roomy canal view' room and, wary of comments in previous reviews regarding noise levels from the bar/restaurant, we requested a 'quieter room'.
We were not disappointed - our room was spacious and very comfortable, quiet at all times and overlooked the Singel canal to the rear which we viewed through huge floor to ceiling windows.
The staff were very accommodating, helpful and friendly.
We did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment on the food but the bar and restaurant were always busy.
Thoroughly recommended for comfort and location.
