I had a lovely stay at Ship Rooms. I expected much less, actually, because of the relatively low price compared to other hotels in the area. The room is simple but cozy and charming. It's within walking distance to Westminster, 10-minute taxi ride to Big Ben, parliament and Westminster Abbey. The room was clean, spacious, bathroom with a bathtub and shower. I bit cold, so if you are travelling with small kids or babies, it may not be the best option). There is a Nespresso machine and kettle in the room, coffee and tea bags provided. No fridge in the room, milk and water can be found in the fridge on the top floor. Overall a very good experience. There is a pub downstairs, so it may get noisy in the summer if you keep the window open, but I was in the Standard room above the pub, and there was no noise. There is no reception, the key are locked in the safe box outside. I haven't met the staff in person, but communication was clear and friendly.

Nice place, there is a great bar downstairs, but not noisy at all. The room has great TV, coffee machine, and a small fridge. In the floor above, they have a large shared fridge with complimentary cold tap water bottles and milk (I had oat and regular milk while stayed there) Great welcoming, clean and comfortable. The surrounding is quiet and feels pretty safe. There is a bus station 3min walk from the place, 15min to Soho area. I loved it and would stay again!

A 15-20min walk from Waterloo station with good ramps and footpaths for wheeling luggage. Was able to leave our bags till 3pm checkin. Friendly staff. A few sirens into the evening ( central London), so wouldnโ€™t expect silence. Small room with openable window. Nice bathroom and tea/ coffee facilities. There are a number of flights of steps, we had assistance with luggage so was fine. Close to underground and local supermarkets, cafes etc. very convenient to walk to Houses of Parliament ( Big Ben).

Super, quirky room, like upcycled Victoriana. Comfy bed with big pillows. Clean and spacious. Very good value. For this price you could stay in a grotty hotel rather than a pleasant room full of character. Walking distance to an event I had in Westminster. Iโ€™d stay again without hesitation.

Staff we met were great, welcoming despite our early check in appearance. Rooms are very tired looking, milk in a jug was off by evening. The rooms were very warm although fans offered some bottled water would have been a welcome addition. Bed and linen very clean and comfortable. Access to tube and central embankment great only. 15 mins walk away. Ok for an overnighter stay but I wouldn't be rushing back .

A bit disappointed with the location, seems to be a lot further away from Shaftsbury theatre than we were told. Bar closed at 10.30pm. which is quite early. Bar staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Coffee was in short supply and I felt that instant coffee should be an option.
