We arrived much earlier than check in time permits and the pub staff happily stored our luggage so we could get on with exploring London. When we returned in the evening we were quickly given our keys and shown up to the room. The beds were very comfortable, room was warm (December), and the shower had great pressure and heated up quickly. Our only fault is the smell of deep fryers that wafts upstairs and really gets in to our clothes and luggage. Hotel was a quick walk to the tube station.

There was no window. The room was very cold. Because of the pub till midnigh it was super noisy. The entrance was from the pub and it was full of chaos. I dont feel safe. It was not like a hotel room. Like it was the part of the pub.

Staff very respectful and friendly. Comfortable beds. Appreciate that it’s cheap in very central London❤️ -1 star because the power went out in our room when we arrived, but staff were quick to fix it. All around very good hotel that I would recommend and go back to.

I had a lovely stay at Ship Rooms. I expected much less, actually, because of the relatively low price compared to other hotels in the area. The room is simple but cozy and charming. It's within walking distance to Westminster, 10-minute taxi ride to Big Ben, parliament and Westminster Abbey. The room was clean, spacious, bathroom with a bathtub and shower. I bit cold, so if you are travelling with small kids or babies, it may not be the best option). There is a Nespresso machine and kettle in the room, coffee and tea bags provided. No fridge in the room, milk and water can be found in the fridge on the top floor. Overall a very good experience. There is a pub downstairs, so it may get noisy in the summer if you keep the window open, but I was in the Standard room above the pub, and there was no noise. There is no reception, the key are locked in the safe box outside. I haven't met the staff in person, but communication was clear and friendly.

Nice place, there is a great bar downstairs, but not noisy at all. The room has great TV, coffee machine, and a small fridge. In the floor above, they have a large shared fridge with complimentary cold tap water bottles and milk (I had oat and regular milk while stayed there) Great welcoming, clean and comfortable. The surrounding is quiet and feels pretty safe. There is a bus station 3min walk from the place, 15min to Soho area. I loved it and would stay again!
