We had a lovely stay. Rooms are really nice.Not many friills - apart from the coffee maker and milk frother - but perfectly suited for a short stay..bus stop opposite and a ten minute ride to Trafalgar Square means you can be right in the centre of London in no time, and the South Bank. Would thoroughly recommend. No breakfast option but just next to it is Kennington Coffee shop which is charming and perfect.

We had a pleasant stay at The Ship Rooms in London from June 14 to 16. The location was excellent—just steps away from a public bus stop and within walking distance of major attractions like the London Eye, Westminster Bridge, and Big Ben. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. While we didn’t try the pub downstairs, it’s a nice touch, and they offered a 10% discount on drinks for guests. There were also grocery stores and a pizza shop nearby, which added to the convenience. Overall, a great place to stay for exploring central London.

Stayed for 2 nights. Loved the place.. the downstairs is a pub. The staff was super friendly and helped us carry our luggage upstairs bc they don’t have elevators. No ac but it was cold when I visited London so it’s not needed. The bed was so comfortable. Bathroom was very spacious. There is a bus stop across the street that takes you to all the tourist places.

Good location, but too expensive for what they are offering. Very small room with dirty carpet. For milk you need to go to hall, hm inconvenience for me as I like my cup of tea before I go to bed.

It is for me a hostel that is listed as a hotel. It was clean and ok but no lobby, no elevator. Nevertheless personnel were very nice, friendly and helpful. However I recommend the staff to fix the loose water faucet and the shower drain that was blocked.

Friendly staff who let us in and looked after our bag as we needed to leave in the evening and checkout was earlier. Which was great as we felt more independent. The room was nice and had a big bathroom. However the shower tap was broken so it only had the overhead shower and I couldn’t use the hand held shower part. There was a fridge in the room but it was tiny. Transport to get into the city was best by a bus stop opposite the hotel but the busses were irregular, not really a problem for us as we liked to walk but prospective travelers should be aware that it is not nearby a tube station.

Oat milk in the fridge was amazing but the coffee machine just gave us lukewarm coffee. I'd have preferred instant to be honest. Also lacking a full size mirror or any kind of mirror in the bedroom. Carpet also needs replacing. Other than that, it was clean, comfy and convenient! Staff were super helpful too. I'd stay here again.
