Room was a revelation - a huge upgrade on a travelodge/Premier Inn room and 25% cheaper. Staff were great, room modern and clean and the bed very comfortable. TV was a decent size too. Overall tip-top!

Nice spacious room with a sizeable bathroom. Very comfortable stay in an easy location. I’d definitely go back. Thank you!
We had a wonderful stay at the bull and the hide. It was nice and central for all of our activities, the bed was incredibly comfy, the room was clean and the bathrooms were lovely! We would definitely stay again.
The good: location, amazing staff, early checkin, bag storage, bed really comfy, flat screen, amenities and really good cookies!
The bad: staircases, it’s an old building so understandable but very tricky to go down, the curtains won’t block all the light, very noisy area and if you have a light sleep I’d recommend some noise canceling solution.
The ugly: the sink had its drain fully closed, I had to unscrew it for the water to run and then a terrible smell came out of it, the shower heads looks like were never cleaned from the build up calcium, the air vent in the toilet was also full of build up dust.
What a great experience. Conveniently located by Liverpool street and Moorgate stations. The staff was super friendly and helpful. In room snacks and drinks. Room was nice and spacious (for Europe). AC was great and nice shower as well. We’ll be back for sure
This is the perfect boutique hotel in a prime location. It is literally across the street from the Liverpool Street station and Eatly. The rooms are quiet even with an active pub and busy neighborhood downstairs. There is no lift and a tight stairwell which wasn’t a problem for us, but something to be aware of. They even had our room available early for luggage drop off.
The Bull is the downstairs pub. The Hide is the rooms above said pub. All the staff were very friendly and pleasant. The building is certainly more than 100 years old, but the rooms are nice. They are clean, roomy, comfortable and nicely updated. This location is just across the street from the Liverpool railway/subway station. The location is really convenient for transportation around London. There are a multitude of dining and drinking establishments and a wide variety of services within walking distance. The neighborhood is extremely busy. Don't come here expecting peace and quiet! That being said, the Hide has done a pretty good job of soundproofing the sleeping areas of the rooms. Bring your earplugs and enjoy the people and variety of the area.
I thought this was a great find - nice room and bathroom in a great location for the City. However there was no hot water at night and in the morning and nobody on duty and no reply from the contact email provided in the “welcome” email. Really not good enough and I will not stay again.
Great location. However, check in is at the bar, which at 5pm on a weekday is very busy. Not ideal. And streets outside still noisy at midnight with people shouting and bottles being cleared... so not a great night's sleep. But room very nice and comfortable. Finally, no instructions given for checking out, and no staff around in the morning. Left key in thr room with the door unlocked. No idea if that was the right thing to do or not!
It didn't help that the England football team was playing at the time that we arrived but the check in process was not very good. It took some time to get assistance and then we were put in the wrong room. This was eventually sorted out and the correct room was quite nice. The lack of food at the pub was a disappointment.
We needed accommodation in the city for me to attend meetings and my husband to do some touristy things. The B and H was really convenient for both of us, friendly and met our needs price wise. In all very happy with our choice.
