The Old Ship

Was there for 2 nights in the middle of July. The temperature was 30 degrees and our room did not have any aircondition. Impossible to sleep, as the room was 34 degrees. Also no water running from the shower and the floor was bending/unstable.

We arrived early and had something to eat. The food was discounted as we were staying guests. Quirky and fun little room.

Fantastic

Really comfortable stay. We were there for an event at the Hackney Empire and it’s right next door, so great location. The food in the bar was lovely too. A few interesting characters on the way from the station to the hotel, so make sure you walk with someone and be careful at night.

Very cute hotel and the pub had great food and drinks!

Gastvrije accommodatie nette kamers. Door de pub luidruchtiger dan gemiddeld. Maar daar hadden wij zelf geen last van. Eten in de pub is prima. Station is 50 meter lopen, ideaal. Ontbijt zaakje ( bakker) is op 25 meter lopen.

really good, best place in Hackney, public traffic

Lovely 1 night stay, central to al amenities, fabulous transport links. Pub and food on your doorstep or use room service

Really lovely hotel with nice staff. Great location! Quiet as compared to being above the pub.

Friendly and attentive staff, extremely cozy pub downstairs with great food. Have come back multiple times now, always a good stay!

Great property. Very cute and comfortable room. Located in a lively neighborhood 5-10 minutes on foot from an Overground stop. Lots to do nearby. I sadly did not get a chance to go to the pub below the hotel, but it looked so cute. I stayed over a weekend and my room was a bit loud with the din of the pub…did not bother me but if you are a light sleeper, it might.

We chose the Old Ship as we went to an event in Oslo. It was in a perfect location and had 24 hour room access after you had checked in. Upon arrival we went to our room and found it clean and better than more expensive hotels we have stayed in. The only problem was the squeaky floorboards which you would expect in a old building but it did make sleeping a little hard as you could hear everybody walking around. Apart from the squeaky floorboards, our stay was perfect.

This is the second time we have stayed here and it is a good place for The Hackney Empire. We enjoyed our stay. Dinner is available on site but not breakfast. There are available places to have breakfast on the high street. There are no lifts in The Old Ship just stairs and there are two flights. The staff are very helpful and informative. Nothing is too much trouble. The Old Ship caters for all age groups. We will definately stay here again.

Really convenient location, room was clean and contained the standard amenities. In general, the staff were friendly and helpful, with the exception of the manager who was rude, unhelpful and quite patronising.

Friendly staff. Small shower. Loved the location.

Great staff and the room was very comfortable. We ended our day in the bar and enjoyed the people and atmosphere. Added several songs to our playlist. We will definitely come back

Friendly and helpful staff, nice room, good food

Check in was quick and easy. Whilst the pub is on a busy main road the rooms are located at the back, so there were no concerns about noise. Access to the 1st floor rooms is via a steep winding staircase, so extra care was needed when using it. There was a smell on the stairs, probably from the adjacent food takeaway, but this had dissipated before we got to the room. The room was OK, with hanging storage and large low level shelf. There was also a safe, which we used. There was a 2-seater sofa, a small round table and a chair, which was probably a bit too much for the size of room. Unfortunately the blinds did not fully cover the windows, which meant that the daylight woke us up early. The bathroom was clean but we needed to be careful when using the shower as the water sprayed onto the shelf when our toiletries were placed (and spare toilet roll, which got wet). Bed was made on Day 2 (we kept same towels) but wasn't made on Day 3 (and we needed to ask for clean towels. The rooms would benefit from having air-con units as the vertical fan did very little in keeping the room cool.

Nice little Pub/Hotel. Very friendly staff. Only downside is that they don’t server breakfast. Fortunately there are plenty of places outside to have breakfast.

Having a pub right downstairs from your room is all I ever ask for. Limited, but flavorful menu options, Great smashburger & caesar salad. Comfortable bed, but those nasty foam pillows (they are everywhere) means your head will get very warm while sleeping. The food in the area is very tasty & offer many ethnicities.
