The Ship Inn

"My flight was delayed so I arrived after 10. I was left outside with nobody picking up the phone in the middle of the rain. Then, you have to spend the whole day waiting until 4 pm, as they are closed till that time. Refund? Yes… next week… wait another… maybe in a parallel universe. They want the benefit of a hostel but zero responsibility. Take also into account they they are not a hostel or anything like it, but a mere English pub with some rooms attached upstairs, meaning they are not professionals related to the accommodation sector and they don’t intend to be. What good can you expect? The free sauna, as there is no ventilation or fan in the summer. The animated nights full of insomnia, as it is loud as an Iron Maiden concert downstairs. The solitude, as there is no one to greet you til four and they close at 10. The medieval experience of sleeping in a dirty startled room full of bugs and fragrances from a distant past… It’s a booze bar with some dirty rooms upstairs and zero compassion for the visitors in an increasingly dangerous city. Something awful can happen to you if you risk to arrive later than ten. Would you ?"

"Definitely the top pizza in the area! Great pub, good service and excellent drink selection. Still retains some of the old east end boozer charm."

"Quite simply one of the best pizzas I've had is served here. Very nice pub, good selection of beers on tap, TVs with sport on."
