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.

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.

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.

Our Stay at The Old Ship, Hackney.

This is the second time we have stayed here and it is a good place for The Hackney Empire. We enjoyed our stay. Dinner is available on site but not breakfast. There are available places to have breakfast on the high street. There are no lifts in The Old Ship just stairs and there are two flights. The staff are very helpful and informative. Nothing is too much trouble. The Old Ship caters for all age groups. We will definately stay here again.

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.
