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.

Mixed Bag
We had a mixed experience here. The location is excellent, and the room itself was very nice. Customer service was close to zero. An email I sent to the hotel about check-in was never answered (I sent it more than a day ahead of time), and the first person we dealt with at the adjoining pub (there is no actual hotel reception desk) could barely be bothered to say hello or tell us anything about check-out, WIFI, etc. (he did however carry a suitcase up for us, which was much appreciated). The rooms here are essentially an appendage to the pub and are treated accordingly.

CONSTRUCTION!!! STAY CLEAR!
Be ready for a noisy stay!!! The Bar runs the Apartments above which was an interesting check-in. No elevator so pack light because you are carrying your bag upstairs. The rooms are quite nice per their pictures but very noisy as they are right above the bar. Bring earplugs if you want to sleep. While it is loud outside with people drinking on the street, be ready for the Kegs that get delivered on Wednesday at 6:10 am as they roll them down the street. My biggest complaint is the lack of transparency when I checked in and their disrespect of doing construction during my stay. I wish I hadn't prepaid and that they were open about the construction or gave me a discount. The construction started every day between 7-8 am and they left debris in the hall I had to climb over. See the pictures below and lower your standards if you stay here. I advise not paying in advance.

Pleasant stay - great breakfast
The room was lovely but a little tired in places. A bedside lamp was hanging off the wall. The sheepskin rug over the chair needed to be thrown away it just looked gross! Bed very comfortable, bathroom huge and very modern. The pub itself was lovely and great atmosphere but when we returned from the theatre it was already shut we had hoped to have a couple more drinks before bed! Breakfast the next morning was delicious, well presented lots of choice and our server was very pleasant. Only issue I had was at night you could hear the noise from outside despite the extra glazing unit in the window. Each room had access to a pantry with complimentary tea coffees soft drinks crisps and biscuits this was a nice touch. We stayed in Fishers Folly at the very top so there were about 70 stairs to climb!!

Great room, lovely pub. Only issue was Wifi did not work at all in room. Nice guy at reception tried to fix it on the first day, it worked for about half hour and then stopped and at night and early morning there was nobody around to help so I could not get any work done.

4 Nights in London!
Right in the heart of London is this unique B&B that is like none other. Located above a pub, we are steps from the Tube and close to many stores and restaurants. The staff was great and once we found our way around we had a great time! Lots of stairs to climb though…

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.

A 50/50 satisfaction stay
I was in the Brick Lane room, which is very noisy at night because of the noise of a compressor going on and off throughout the night. I mentioned it to the staff, and it seems to be a problem for others too. The carpet near the bathroom was soaking wet due to a leak somewhere, which meant I had to put a towel down to get to the bathroom without wet feet. Although the bedsheets had been changed and the room had fresh towels, there was evidence of no further cleaning. For example, a receipt for someone else's food, a half-used small bottle of body lotion in the bathroom, deep dust on the table lamp. The staff at the Bull were lovely and did everything to make us feel welcome and accommodate us. The room also had a great choice of complimentary tea, coffee and soft drinks, plus crisps and biscuits.
