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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
