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.

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.
