Unfortunately we had a few problems with plunger in sink didn't work correctly also system flush falling off, toilet roll holder loose, bed & pillows uncomfortable, food good that's about it

My daughter and I loved The Old Ship Hotel. The location was perfect, the beach is just over the road, the Pier was a few minutes walk away and the shops are basically just round the corner. Our room (a twin room) was bigger than I expected. Tea and coffee with a kettle was great as I was gasping for a cuppa when we arrived. They even supplied ear plugs because it can be a little bit noisey at night (this was mainly from the large hotel opposite). Quite a large bathroom, with a bath and shower, and complimentary shower gel, shampoo and soap. The room was clean and no dodgy smells. There was a fan, but we didn't need it, the partially open window was enough. We didn't ask for a room with a sea view, but it could be seen if you looked to the right. We were on the 3rd floor and there is nothing wrong with the lift (ignore other reviews). Breakfast was great, a decent selection to suit everyone. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant one night; it was amazing! A decent price too. There was loads of seating on the ground floor. The bar was great too. We needed to store our luggage before and after and it was stored securely, with a numbered tag, only staff could access it (unlike a different hotel nearby that simply left your luggage near the reception desk for anyone to access). Considering the low price we paid, the hotel truly was amazing. Lovely staff, clean everywhere, big rooms, great food, fantastic location, what more could you ask for! I will be booking again next year. My mum could easily come with us, she uses a walker, and the hotel would definitely be suitable for a less able person.

I had a wonderful stay at the Old Ship Hotel! I want to especially thank Stacy, Bogdan, and the other lovely lady for making my visit so enjoyable. The hotel was very clean, and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much for a great experience I truly appreciated it!

We've been staying at this hotel for years, the hotel is right on the seafront and adjacent to the Lanes so its perfectly located. If you can't get into the hotel car park then there is an inexpensive car park right next door. The hotel is very old and quirky in places and there are lots of public spaces on the ground floor where you can chillax away from others if you want. The restaurant is good value and the buffet style breakfasts offer loads of choices. The staff are always very helpful and attentive. Given where it is and the quality and cleanliness of the rooms its great value for money.

Positives - on the beach front with lovely views, just a short walk to all the tourist attractions. Very nice English breakfast. Staff were polite and efficient. Lobby areas neat and tidy. Good lunch food. Negatives. Upstairs hallways and bedrooms are in very poor condition. Peeling wallpaper, dirty sofas, threadbare carpets, scratched paintwork and faded curtains. Private Parking advertised but still costs £25 a night. Limited amenities.

Beds were comfy, room was clean and well presented and the staff were friendly. It is a older building so there are a few quirks but overall it's a good place to stay for a few days

Amazing location. But very tired looking. There was worn carpet and peeling paint. We were kept up at night by the people in the hotel next door loudly emptying bottles into bins through the night. The photo shows the view from our window of the other hotel's loading bay.

Stayed one evening at the Old Ship in Brighton to attend a wedding reception.  The hotel location of is excellent and conveniently situated near shops and bars.  Also opposite the beach. The decor of the hotel is a bit tired and is need of a face lift.  But for the money we paid it was value for money and we would rebook in the future.

It’s okay nice location right on the beach. Staff were friendly and professional, hygiene was okay but there were a couple of hairs on towels. Breakfast was okay a small cooked breakfast on offer(no veggie sausages available upon request) cereal offered with alternative milk available upon request. Rooms a little outdated but overall good experience. Limited car park available at Hotel £27 a day or £4.50 per hour but you have to leave keys with concierge as they move cars around to fit them in. Original lift pretty cool
