We visited The Ship on recommendation from friends while on the south coast- and it certainly did not disappoint . The attention to detail from a visionary management team are apparent in so many areas - and we were made to feel so welcome ..that we shall be back as soon as we can . the theatre in chichester is... more

I stayed here with my boyfriend for a night over the May Day bank holiday. We were extremely impressed with the hotel. Even though it's right in the heart of Chichester very near to the Cathedral, there is plenty of parking. The exterior and interior of the building itself are beautiful, and our room was huge and very elegantly decorated.... more

Following a hectic business trip in and around the area we were looking for somewhere nice to stay over before returning home to Devon. What a find! The staff were friendly and efficient (especially the tall young man behind the bar), the room was a little on the small size but the bed was sooo comfortable it didn't matter, and... more

I think the best way of summing up our stay at the Ship (for the first night of our honeymoon), is to say that after our night we headed north for the remasinder of our honeymoon and regretted leaving. The hotel is still being improved but most of it has been finished and finished to a very high and tasteful... more

Friendly staff greeted us when we arrived. Stayed in a room on the first floor. Room was quite small but nicely decorated. Only thing missing was a wardrobe, which was not a problem as we were only there for two nights, but maybe awkward if you were staying longer. There were hooks on the wall and plenty of drawers for... more

Just back from staying a few days at this hotel and have to say what a very good choice it was.Staff were all helpful,room was clean and well decorated.The food( included in the deal) was really good and we had more than enough.Altogether good value for money. more

The ship has a fantastic location and as soon as you walk in you go "hello, this is nice". the public areas are lovely and welcoming - just refurbished. The hotel is ina great location, right on the main street in Chichester But then the disorganisation and lack of effective leadership shines through like a beacon. Our room was booked... more

I looked at some earlier reviews for The Ship before going there and was a bit apprehensive. Away for the weekend with my 3 sisters for birthday celebrations. My apprehension was immediately washed away by a welcoming greeting from reception and the attentive service from the cheerful staff. Varied menu for lunch and dinner and excellent choice for breakfast. Overall... more

Modernised hotel with clean rooms. We were on the top floor, serviced by a cranky yet functional lift that must have some kind of preservation order on it. The food was particularly good, but the room we were in didn't have enough water pressure for the shower to work (we were warned whilst booking!) so I hope they fix this... more
