Ah, The Bull and The Hide – what a gem in the heart of London! I've got to say, it's one of those places that really captures that traditional pub vibe while offering a boutique hotel experience upstairs. Picture this: you're just a short stroll from Liverpool Street, so it's ideal if you're zipping around the city for work or play, and being on a pedestrianised street means you get a bit of peace away from the main drag. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the rooms are a proper treat – cosy, individually styled, and with little extras like complimentary snacks, which makes you feel right at home after a long day out. The pub downstairs serves up cracking drinks, and it's clear a lot of people appreciate the atmosphere for a relaxing pint. On the flip side, though, it's not all perfect; some folks have mentioned the staff not always being as attentive as you'd hope, like when they're glued to their phones, which can make service feel a bit hit or miss. Plus, with the rooms being on the smaller side and the odd noise from outside, it might not be the most serene escape, and those stairs to the upper floors could be a bit of a bother if you're not feeling energetic. All in all, it's a solid choice for a no-fuss stay with a pub twist, but I'd suggest going in with realistic expectations – it's got plenty of heart, but like any spot in the city, it has its rough edges. If you're after a friendly base to explore from, you might just love it!
