Very hot weather at the moment, room could do with A/C, but fan provided was adequate, room was really clean and modern, staff were helpful . Only moan was car parking, it isn’t owned by the pub, you have get a ticket or app the book your car in, but the most you can do is three and a half hours, so if staying from 1830 the car park is £1.70 until 05:00, but you cannot update on the app until your parking expires , very stressful, that needs to be looked at by MIpermits who work on behalf of the council

Was perfect for our 1 night stay as we attended the country music festival. Rooms were clean & quaint & the pub overall was a nice place to have a drink & relax with plenty of friendly locals.

Lovely old pub right next to Chelmsford rail and bus stations. Very welcoming bar staff. Rooms are really nicely decorated with tea and coffee making and separate secure access. Really great value and centrally located for all Chelmsford has to offer.

I had a really pleasant stay at The Ship. The room was compact but spotless and well-organised, with a comfy single bed, en-suite bathroom, TV, and a side cabinet stocked with tea, coffee, and biscuits—such a thoughtful touch. It had been a long time since I’d slept in a single bed, but it was surprisingly comfortable and perfect for a good night’s rest. I’d definitely stay again and would recommend it to other travellers looking for a clean, cosy spot with all the essentials.

Lovely room above a very nice pub in a great location, just 5 minutes walk from Chelmsford station. Nothing really to dislike for the price.

Brilliant location for city center. The room was spotless, stocked with a lovely coffee machine, water and biscuits. Gorgeous shampoo and shower gel. The bed and pillows were soooo comfy. The pub had a good vibe and the food was lovely. Honestly couldn’t fault it!

Very good value and service. Beware if you are relying on satnav to locate. Because of busgates it took a bit of finding. Council pay and display parking nearby but overnight only to 5am however street parking available after 6pm.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. The room was modern, impeccably maintained, and spotlessly clean, which exceeded my expectations. A delightful surprise was the espresso machine in the room—such a thoughtful touch! I enjoyed my short stay and would happily return in the future.
