Great 1-night stay for event at the Hackney Empire

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.

Do not choose this during the summer period

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.

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

Nice Pub/Hotel

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.

Fine hotel, shame about the manager

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.

Great find

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.

Favourite place to stay in Hackney

I travel to London 2-3 times a year, and always stay at The Old Ship. It's proximity to London Fields can't be beat, and the rooms are lovely and cozy. Staff has always been very kind and helpful.

Such a cute room! Lots of room compared to other places in this price range. Love the area too.

Excellent stay but squeaky floorboards

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.
Charlotte, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Brilliant

Nice little room above bar, fan provided and quiet location. Only slight issue was bathroom door not shutting fully but otherwise perfect

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay if you're attending a show at hackney empire. Room was clean and nicely decorated. Comfortable bed. Can be a little noisy with customers and pub music depending on where your room is. We were on 1st floor, looking over the outside seating. All quiet after 11pm though so not an issue for sleeping. Lots of nice cafes nearby for breakfast. No lift and narrow winding stairs, so if you have mobility issues take this into consideration. Overall a great night's stay and would definitely use again if attending a show.

Hotel with lots of character

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.

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.
