A spacious room with a sitting area. Double aspect windows gave plenty of light to the room. Friendly and welcoming staff both for the Ship Inn and for the food service - No 1 Fleet Street. Would heartily recommend this establishment.

I stayed for 1 night and I ended up wishing I could stay an extra night or 2! The room was so nice, the bathroom was spacious, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The hotel is old but the interior can fool you into thinking it's not! The food at the hotel restaurant was SO GOOD. There is ample parking, whether it be on the street or down the road in the lot. Stay here if you want an enjoyable, relaxing stay!

Room was very clean and modern, the bed was really comfy and was closely rivalled by the breakfast which was delicious! Would love to stay again.

Both main courses we had unfortunately tasted “salty” / over rich , which “drowned” out the ingredient flavors. It was a shame
