We had an amazing stay at The Ship Rooms. The room itself was super roomy, spotless and well stocked (coffee machine, mini fridge and complimentary coffee, tea and sweets). Beautiful bed, super comfy. The pub itself was a lovely little gem, not at all noisy from the room (although we did stay on a weekday) and they offer a 10% discount for overnight guests. Can’t fault the staff - very friendly - and gutted that I can’t remember the lady’s name who greeted us, but she made us feel very welcome on arrival and throughout our stay. Brilliant public transport access - only took us 15 minutes on the bus to get into central London. Overall you will not regret booking a room here - highly recommend!

Nothing!

Ok location for using public transit, just a bit of a walk from the tube station. The area of the city felt fairly safe to me. The bathroom was clean and everything worked well. I checked the bedding for any sign of bedbugs (I always do this, no matter where I stay) and didn't see any. The room was pretty quiet.

The mattress needs an upgrade. When I sat on it, I could hear the metal innards groaning (I do not weigh an excessive amount), and it was not very comfy. Also be aware, there is no lift/elevator at this location, and the rooms are on two floors above a restaurant/bar, so lugging my luggage up two flights of stairs wasn't the most fun.

The staff were lovely and really helpful. The rooms, although not very central or near a tube station, were in a nice enough area and the room was quiet at night, despite being on a fairly big road.

The room was a little ‘tired’ - some peeling paint on the ceiling, the toilet didn’t flush smoothly, the shower was so slow to empty that my wife and I couldn’t shower one after another without paddling in several inches of water and risking it overflowing, the carpets could do with replacing. And, whilst they’ve taken time to get new mattresses (which meant a comfortable sleep), the base of the bed was bigger than the mattress - and, as there was a small piece of wire (like a staple) sticking out from the base, I ended up with a cut down the length of my calf when I went to the toilet in the night. Everywhere in London seems over-priced these days, but I don’t feel the room was really worth what we paid (although I think we got a bigger and nicer room than the one we booked).

The location was great, near main attractions in 20-minute walking and 2 underground stations in 10-minute walking. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We really loved the coffee and tea offered inside the room and the common bottles of water and milk.

The water in the shower was not very hot (or at least we were not informed how to heat it up). Also when we were offered cleaning of the room for more than 3 nights stay, we just asked for trash to be taken out, but it never happened. One more thing that we were not happy about were the too many steps to climb up to the room in a very narrow staircase, so carrying the suitcases was a challenge

The property is in a nice, quiet part of the city but still close enough to walk to big attractions like Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the Imperial War Museum. Bus and Tube stops are only a short walk away too. The pub below is a nice spot for dinner (they specialize in pizza) and is lively, but not rowdy. there are plenty of other options nearby as well. Special shoutout to Kennington Coffee Shop next door for a great breakfast option—the owner Andrew is super friendly and the regulars are always open for a conversation!

While everything was clean and comfy overall, our bathroom's shower drain was unfortunately clogged on our first night. No big deal though—we let the cleaning staff know and they took care of it right away. I'm also nitpicking with this, but some of the furniture like the tables and desks were slightly worn. But for us, it added to the cozy charm of the place. The bed was comfortable, with was all that mattered. :D

Great location 15 mins walk from Waterloo Station. We stayed in room 7 so no noise from the pub. We liked that we could open the window as the room was very warm as the heating was on (we stayed November). Bed was comfortable and bedding was clean and soft. Lovely pub although we didn’t use it. Good tea and coffee making facilities with fresh milk available. Shower had good pressure. Price was very good as access to central London was so easy. Would stay again.

Decor was a bit tired and could use a lick of paint. Fridge in the room wasn’t very effective but not really an issue as we could use the shared fridge.

The staff were absolutely exceptional. I believe it was Brad who greeted us, he was extremely accommodating when we were on a particularly tight schedule that didn’t fit exactly around the checking in and out times. There are not words to describe how genuine and lovely he was and is truly a fantastic asset to the team at The Ship. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. In a very good location, a short walk away from the tube and directly by bus stops. We had an excellent stay and would definitely book again on the rare occasion we visit London. Again, the staff here are incredible and even offered us a bag drop, and took our bags to our room when check in was available. Phenomenal.

The water in the shower didn’t drain very well but it didn’t cause us any major issues.

Loved the location- handy for the underground/bus travel in and out of the city centre. Warm, welcoming, friendly staff on arrival. Tasty food served in the evening. My large room had a super comfy bed and plump pillows !! Great coffee/tea making facilities ......and a jar of sweeties in the room !! What more could I want ? Excellent base to explore London - only minutes walk to the Imperial War Museum and so close to the London Eye too.

Having to leave ! Should have booked for a longer stay.

The room was clean and spacious. Very comfortable bed. Great location, very nice and friendly staff. The hotel provided us with towels. Bathroom was well equiped with soap, shower gel, shampoo/hair conditioner and body lotion. In the room, there was coffee machine, kettel, hair dryer, fan, flat screen TV, jar of sweets and tea/coffee. As a guest, we got 10% discount at the pub (delicious pizza & beer & sport events on big screen). Across the street, there is a bus stop. Less than 10 min away, there is an underground station. Totally recommend!

A really lovely room in a cosy little pub - the bed is SO comfortable! The shower was lovely too, and the little jar of sweets was a lovely touch!

The only comments I’d make is that the lights are really low so it’s actually really dark during these winter days/evenings and it would be great to have another couple of lamps, and we didn’t have any milk for the tea. Also, the fire alarm went off at 3.30am which was a shock, and we were unsure what to do (other than vacate the property!)… but would still stay here again 😊
