Great stay in this centrally located room

Great location. It is connected to the pub and in a renovated building. I have a nice room and each floor has snacks and drinks available. The young lady that checked me in was nice enough to carry my bags up the 3 floors, there is not elevator. The room is very nice and the bathrool has toiletris that were nice to have. I didn't hear any noise and I felt very centrally located. I would recommend and stay again. Once you check in you have your own private entrance to the building and everything is secure. TV did not work and batteries were needed for remote, I was too tired to walk down the stairs to ask for them. :). Wifi was strong.

Would have been good to know the price of the food and drink items in the room. Also would have been good to have a way of communicating with the front desk without having to go through the pub.

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.

Wonderful east end location

Our stay was execellent. I loved the historic building the hotel was in. If you dont like stairs I wouldnt stay in fishers folly. Lol. We didnt mind at all. The service was awesome. Breakfast menu was small but the options i felt were perfect for any taste. I also really appreciated them holding our bags behind the bar as we were early arriving in London. There is also a pantry i believe on all the floors that have complimantary coffee, tea, pop, water, cookies and chips. All and all i would definitely stay there again. Its very close to Liverpool street station as well.

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!

Guided to our room, given no information other than the key. No fridge, no ice, no waters, nor information on how to check out. Found multiple hairs in the sheets, and a dead bug. The shower doesn’t drain at all…water got all over the bathroom. The bar downstairs also no longer serves food. I would not recommend staying here.

Se dovessi ritornare a Londra , sceglierei sicuramente questa struttura. Posizione strategica con la stazione dei treni e metro a due passi. Ristoranti e locali di ogni genere a portata di mano. La camera nel complesso carina.

The room was above the Pub in a nice alleyway. After work hours there was a mob outside and a bit noisy until 10:30pm. I knew that could be the case, so it did not bother me. The beer was cold! Per the web the pub was supposed to have food, but this was not the case. Otherwise, I may have given 5 Stars. However, there were plenty of other options in the area. A great stay.

Very unusual property. There is no hotel lobby per se - the check in area was the bar downstairs. It wasn't entirely clear upon arrival where to check in. Was shown to room, but no introduction to the WiFi. On checkout, had to search the back rooms for someone to give my key to. Strange "hotel". It was more of a bar with some rooms upstairs. Rooms were fine, though, if a bit tight.
