Great location and great food

Good pub with rooms, friendly team

The staff very helpful and food excellent But room 7 seems to be over a cellar so noisey throw the night. And brick wall covering window.

Lovely old pub right next to Chelmsford rail and bus stations. Very welcoming bar staff. Rooms are really nicely decorated with tea and coffee making and separate secure access. Really great value and centrally located for all Chelmsford has to offer.

Room was poor. Staff couldn’t advise on parking. Got over charged by £10.

No hairdryer in the room. Shared Bathroom was upstairs. Bit of a maze. Staff friendly. Bed comfy.

Staff was courteous. Room was smaller than expected; a bit claustrophobic, but fine for one night.

Staff friendly, room clean, food/drinks great! Not handicapped fitted, lots of stairs. Separate toilet and shower area outside room.

Bar team were great, pleasant pub, but room was very basic, no en-suite, so midnight walk to the loo.

Great place to stay good food in the evening

The rooms are above the back of the pub - you enter via the stairs from the car park. Parking is. It provided by the pub-it’s by the council and watch out - if you park overnight, you have to be out of the car park by 8 AM. Otherwise you will get a fine! The room was small, but clean and well presented.

Nice hotel good food and service, carpark next to hotel but overnight parking ends at 8am

As a solo traveler, I can honestly say I felt safe and comfortable at The Ship. It’s so well placed for getting to the station, restaurants and shopping in Chelmsford. The room was bijou but completely adequate for a short stay.

The bed sheets was stained and I found a big black hair in my bed there was no heating and the room was freezing I did ask about putting the heating on but it did not happen I felt uneasy with the the entrance to the rooms being a aluminium staircase to the rooms which was open to the public car park (no door on ) and room was not refreshed the next day pup food was good and staff was nice

The room was clean and fresh and we had a good nights sleep. We didn’t eat at the hotel. Car parking was a problem as they don’t have a car park of their own, only a council one which you could only pay for until 5am the next day.

I had a really pleasant stay at The Ship. The room was compact but spotless and well-organised, with a comfy single bed, en-suite bathroom, TV, and a side cabinet stocked with tea, coffee, and biscuits—such a thoughtful touch. It had been a long time since I’d slept in a single bed, but it was surprisingly comfortable and perfect for a good night’s rest. I’d definitely stay again and would recommend it to other travellers looking for a clean, cosy spot with all the essentials.

Clean comfortable room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food in pub was discounted slightly for guests. There were a fair few stairs and it was a tad noisy outside, however it suited our overnight stay and we would stay there again.

Dåligt med parkeringmöjlighet.

Lovely room above a very nice pub in a great location, just 5 minutes walk from Chelmsford station. Nothing really to dislike for the price.

Brilliant location for city center. The room was spotless, stocked with a lovely coffee machine, water and biscuits. Gorgeous shampoo and shower gel. The bed and pillows were soooo comfy. The pub had a good vibe and the food was lovely. Honestly couldn’t fault it!
