The location, the view and the staff were great, and in spite of currently being somewhat faded it's charming inside and the rooms were spacious enough too. For the price, can't be beat.

Loved the character and history of the hotel. Loved the architectural feature and the authenticity. I appreciated the helpfulness of the staff and the fact they they are knowledgeable about the history of the hotel and their willingness to share that knowledge. Great place full of a soul of its own, unlike many other soulless corporate hotels. The uniqueness of the Old Ship Hotel should be celebrated and retained.

It was tricky to find the room because of the signs from the stairs but once I had done, it was a great size room with practical bathroom - although I couldn’t get any hot water despite leaving it running.

Fabulous, oldest hotel in Brighton but unfortunately while that added to the charm it also was apparent in the state of the rooms, however, I understand they are redoing them all in the next while. The rooms, although quite shabby looking, were clean & comfortable. Great location

My overall experience was great. The hotel is going through improvements scaffolding outside et cetera. Some of the hotel is very tired. The reception area is lovely. The staff are wonderful and is in a fantastic place for everything in Brighton. I’ve stayed there before and would stay there again I’m sure when everything has finished the hotel will be a wonderful place once again. Staff were very helpful.

The location is fantastic, with the beach right in front of the property. It’s also only about a 13-minute walk from Brighton Station, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The only minor issue was that the toilet didn’t flush very well, and it occasionally seemed like the toilet paper might get clogged. However, flushing it a couple of times solved the problem. If you’re planning to stay in Brighton and want to be close to the seafront, I think this is an excellent place to stay.
