We chose this property because it was convenient to Liverpool St., Station. It’s a straight shot from Heathrow on the Elizabeth line and we had to get to Stansted two days later, so this spot was perfect. For that convenience and for the price, I really cannot complain. We had the Devonshire suite which was spacious with a nice big bathroom and a lovely tub. The bed was comfortable and the bedding, clean and stylish there were a few scuffs on the walls and marks on the carpet from people‘s luggage, but overall the place was clean. The bigger problem was the lack of service the pub/reception desk saw us checked in by a young woman who really didn’t have much to say and when we asked her about why the TV and Wi-Fi didn’t work the answer was pretty much too bad. It didn’t sound like there. Was anyone on hand to come and fix the problems. But for a short stay, it wasn’t a dealbreaker. There’s a fair bit of noise that filters up from the alley below so earplugs are a good idea, but the blackout curtains in the room work well you get what you pay for and for what we paid this was a good deal for us.

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!

Lovely helpful reception team. I didn’t get to the Bull and the Hide til almost 1am but the team had sent me a code for the door and given clear directions as to where my room was. After a nightmare journey I came into a lovely warm room, spacious bathroom, a good selection of hot drinks, water coke, biscuits and crisps. Lovely fluffy towels. Bed was super comfy as were the pilllows, I’d definitely stay here again

Fair stay, good location, great staff

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.

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.

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.
