Just had a super refreshing stay! 🚿 The shower and room were spotlessly clean, and the bathroom was immaculate. It's so nice when everything is just *clean*! The minimalist staff setup was perfect for a quiet, anonymous visit. Feeling totally recharged! ✨ #CleanStay #MinimalistVibes #Refreshing

Decent price for room and location, but the hotel hasn’t been updated in a while - outside looked grungy, inside finding our room there was damp patches on ceilings, peeling paint, condensed windows in hallway that was quite dirty, inside our room there was a spring digging out of side of mattress and the mirror was dirty. Other than the upkeep, staff were lovely and breakfast was good.

This is not a 4 star hotel. The hotel is dilapidated and dirty. It really is falling apart. No cups in room, a quarter size of a miniature soap. The tv was the size of a laptop screen. Do not recommend.

Overall the room was clean, however the coverlet on the bed was dirty. I did inform Reception who made a note of it. Reception staff were very amenable, however bar staff are not always pleasant. I have stayed at the Old Ship many times.

Room was clean, but the huge number of corridors were a bit musty and dusty. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Great rooms to lounge in, sofas, chairs and tables plus a pool table.

Old-style room but perfectly comfortable. The breakfast during the week is table service, hit buffet at the weekend. The staff are very friendly. Given the price we paid, a good value hotel (I know it gets more expensive as you head towards Summer)
