My husband and I stayed at The Ship on Saturday 11th May 2013 for one night. In general the hotel was very pleasant; the room was decorated nicely (albeit the finish on the supposedly recently renovated bathroom was below standard), the views were lovely and the breakfast the following morning was excellent. However, in advance of our arrival we notified... More

I stayed here for the first time on business. The Ship is located on a pretty street and has a lovely entrance hall. However, Check in was laborious and unpolished. I finally got to my room via the ancient (but not cute) 'lift', loads of fire doors and all sorts of stair cases. It was a nightmare! I was in... More

All the family were booked in to celebrate my 70th birthday. The rooms were lovely, including the superb No.One Chichester. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was superb. The staff were without exception very friendly and efficient. Would thoroughly recommend the hotel to anyone for a stay or a meal or botgh

This place is a bit of a find. Nice imposing hotel and right in the heart of Chichester, a lovely Cathedral city, with easy to find car park and very generous rooms. Big, super clean bathroom with huge bath and power shower as well. Friendly, switched-on staff who wanted to help and a big, well-stocked modern bar and dining room... More

Booked quite late through laterooms - £80 for double B&B. Very nice Georgian hotel, comfortable room, polite staff, good breakfast choices, what's not to like? Only mild criticism is not much sound insulation so could hear neighbours plumbing etc. Good central location too

We were really happy with our 24 hours at The Ship. We feared the worst as we had booked for a single night in a basic room on a busy bank holiday weekend. I emailed ahead to ask for a quiet room and they obliged with a small but delightfully silent room that was nicely decorated. They even managed to... More

If you just want to stay at this hotel, my review is not for you as I did not experience the bedrooms, however if you are considering having your special day here, avoid! We had our wedding ceremony at this hotel and as you can see from other reviews that are still on here from our guests, things unfortunately were... More

I stayed here on a business trip and I must admit the service experienced when I arrived was good and I was quite impressed with the room standard. Nicely decorated with double aspect windows, bringing in lots of light. As a business traveller and having to do some work when I arrived at the hotel, I would of expected there... More

I stayed at the Ship Hotel with my husband on our wedding night after getting married elsewhere in Chichester. The staff were wonderful and we were welcomed warmly despite it being the early hours of the morning! They had been very accomodating- we had been checked in earlier in the day by someone else who dropped our bags off, and... More

So impressed by the welcome we received at lunch from Chrissie in "front of house", and friendly efficient attention we received from all other staff. The food was excellent indeed and the atmosphere incredibly relaxing. A very good start to our trip to the nearby theatre.
