After reading the previous reviews here, I was expecting worse with this hotel (I booked it because it was one of the cheapest I got in Brighton). I actually found it wasn’t too bad (if you can get a good price that is). The hotel has a nice exterior. Inside the hotel everything is very old-fashioned (or traditional to put... more

We stayed here for two nights and would have no problem staying again. What you have to remember is this is Brighton, so its going to be noisy, and yes despite being on the fourth floor this was. You pay for location so don't expect all mod cons and exemplary cleanliness, as you won't get it here, and from my... more

Good points is central location for Pier and Pavilion. Bad points is central location for nightclubs emptying at 0200. Staff service was good and when we had a problem with a door in the room it was fixed promptly. Meals were excellent, except one time when we had a small portion of root vegetables, but they brought an extra portion... more

Checked in with no problems, reception staff very helpful. Room was small but very clean. Room was at the back of the hotel so very quiet, no noise from drunks or hotels next door!!! The outside could do with a bit of updating. more

We stayed at the Old Ship Hotel for two nights to spend a family break in Brighton. The Hotel is situated right on Brighton front with easy access to the main attractions like Brighton Pier ,Sea Life Centre and The Lanes. The Hotel is a lovely size with excellent amenties, our bedroom was overlooking the sea front with an excellent... more

I was worried after reading some bad reviews on trip advisor, but decided to book anyway. The hotel had a good looking reception, hallways and restaurant which was a relief. The room was also attractive (upgraded to premium room with sea view). However, problems soon emerged. There were stains on the bed covers and the bathroom was dated and badly... more

The hotel looks pretty tired from the outside, but inside it has a cosy feeling and the front desk staff are very good. The room we had was an old fit-out, but it was clean and well maintained. The bed was very good, and the only sleeping problem was a bit of noise from the nightclub opposite. This room was... more

Having read some of the''terrible'' reviews on here I felt I had to have my say. I was part of a coach tour from the West Midlands and have to say this was very good value for money. We could not fault the rooms, or the food, that was excellent, as was the service. The only slight problem was the... more

Sprawling hotel, very old and full of character right on the sea front. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. Room was very comfortable and clean and had everything you could want, had good decor and was well maintained. Bathroom looked a little worn but was very clean. Sleep quality was good, comfy bed and curtains kept out the light well.... more
