The Ship is positioned right in Chichester town centre and it is easy to walk out and see the sights. The hotel itself is charming with reasonably comfy rooms. The staff there are most pleasant and the public areas e.g. the bar and restaurant likewise. The food in the restaurant however was overpriced and totally mediocre and on the nights... more

Maybe we were unlucky when we visited The Ship but there was quite a lot wrong with The Ship when we were there. Having booked a superior room, it turned out to be disappointingly small, with one bedside light not working, one bathroom light not working, a broken hook on the back of the door and wardrobe doors which were... more

I stayed here for a weekend recently with some friends and we were all impressed with the Ship Hotel's location, its cleanliness and the staff who were pleased to accommodate all of our requests. We also eat at the hotel and I have to say enjoyed some wonderful grub! more
