The propert was lovely, our room was modern and up to date. The beds and pillows were so comfortable and clean! The bathroom was so lovely and clean. I loved that you didnt have to go through the pub to get to the rooms although there was a walkway into the pub at the bottom of the steps if you wished too. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

The room was nice a bit cold as the heating was off so when you get out of the bed the temperature was cold. There wasn’t any bottles of water in my room like my friends room. The room itself was clean.

When we arrived the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room we had was en-suite and very clean. The tea and coffee facilities were great (proper coffee machine in the room). The bed was really comfortable, which made for a good nights sleep. The only thing I would recommend to those using a satnav or maps to find it would be, put the actual address in not just the postcode as ours took us to a different location. Other than that would highly recommend The Ship!!

Payment card concerns
Stopped here a number of times but this time I was asked for my debit card so they could take the details off it and it was typed into the till. I’m not happy that it could be possibly be accessed by any member of staff and used as I have had this happen before at another hotel. There isn’t much to steal from this hotel it’s pretty minimal

Great value for money city hotel
I got a train into Chelmsford for n the afternoon ready for a hospital operation the next day . I met with a young guy at the bar who was staff .he was friendly helpful and a nice intro . The Room was a nice temperature. They gave me an upgrade so I had a king-size bed which is great for my height and difficulty with my legs . Everything was clean and pleasant . Shower and towels really good . Coffee machine and TV . There was a good chair for me to sit and read a paper . There is only single glaze windows so it is noisy on the front street . But that stops about 12 midnight . If I was going out for a meal and some drinks it would be fine . Anyone who is a light sleeper before 12 I wouldn't advise this room. But it suited my needs fine . The bed was really comfortable and it looks like a recent refurbishment. It was a 10 min walk to station and I use crutches . I had a pick up from the taxi the next morning early . There seems to be restaurants and takeaways close by for choice and it's close to town centre . The price was excellent and to me it was good value for money . I didn't try the food at the pub because of my medical circumstances. But I would have done so . I managed the stairs to the rear of the property to get to the toom as there was an adequate rail and good robust iron staircase . I am having a knee replacement. I would have given it 4 stars if it was quieter Although it didn't bother me too much

Don’t book.
Windows is not soundproof and older than my grandpa. Plus lock is broken big concern for safety. My room beside a busy road. Whole nights hearing the car drive past noise and windows shaking noise. You have be get drunk to stay sleep unfortunately I don’t drink. Dust behind bed and chair around the room everywhere.
