Great little B&B pub. Clean, warm and really welcoming — exactly what you want after a long day. Rooms were comfortable and well looked after, and the pizza downstairs was great. Would happily stay again.

The room was clean and bed comfortable. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Food from bar downstairs was limited to Pizza, but hood and tasty enough. I,d recommend it. Nearest tube station is Lambeth North.

Very happy with the check in as friendly staff in the pub showed us to our room. Great room amenities with telly, fridge, tea tray, filtered water and coffee machine. Bed was very comfortable, lovely decor and very spacious room. Not too noisy even though we were on the main road as had secondary double glazing. Fantastic location as it took 30 mins to walk to Brixton Academy, 20 min walk to the Thames and Westminster, 20 min bus to London Bridge or Victoria. Only constructive criticism would be that toiletries weren’t topped up so we got the last squeeze of shower gel and soap before they ran out. Also the shower screen wasn’t sealed so when you shower it leaks all over the floor. Also a full length mirror in the bedroom would be useful. If being really picky, the bed linen (although crisp and clean) was a little rough. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again as it was great value. Thank you to everyone at Ship Rooms. Five stars!

We arrived much earlier than check in time permits and the pub staff happily stored our luggage so we could get on with exploring London. When we returned in the evening we were quickly given our keys and shown up to the room. The beds were very comfortable, room was warm (December), and the shower had great pressure and heated up quickly. Our only fault is the smell of deep fryers that wafts upstairs and really gets in to our clothes and luggage. Hotel was a quick walk to the tube station.

There was no window. The room was very cold. Because of the pub till midnigh it was super noisy. The entrance was from the pub and it was full of chaos. I dont feel safe. It was not like a hotel room. Like it was the part of the pub.

Staff very respectful and friendly. Comfortable beds. Appreciate that it’s cheap in very central London❤️ -1 star because the power went out in our room when we arrived, but staff were quick to fix it. All around very good hotel that I would recommend and go back to.
