The Ship

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay right in the heart of the city"

Ivy Hill Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"A good hotel with clean comfortable rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Evening restaurant meals were okay with a pretty "standard" menu with an odd approach of staggering restaurant sittings for larger groups. The location is somewhat out of the way which makes getting there a little difficult without a car. Rooms do not have air conditioning and do not come with a fridge which I would have expected given the prices for rooms. I would stay again if visiting the area although pricing would be a consideration. I think it's a little overpriced."

Central Chelmsford 2-bed Apt, 5 Mins to Station
