This hotel is situated in a brilliant location, right on the seafront and within a stone's throw of the pier, shopping in the Lanes and just about everything else in Brighton. Walking into the hotel, it is understated but very pleasant. A nice bar, the food in the restaurant was pretty good, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Arriving... more

OK. I have given the Old Ship an above average rating because mostly it is. The exterior is a little plain apart from the garish red paint of the adjacent bar/restaurant area (why red??!) but manages to convey a sense of "Olde Shipe". The lobby area is a mass of old wood and comfy chairs giving a slight gentleman's club... more

I have been staying on and off at this hotel since 1999. Reception staff are helpful - But this time maybe it was the seashell theme (shells on the swirly orange hall carpet and shell door handles on the bathroom), the cold room or the tinned gratefruit at breakfast - in future I think I deserve something better! more

The room was large, recently decorated (if not... more

I have just returned from a Business trip to Brighton. Brighton in winter is one boring place. Everyday, after leaving work at around seven PM, I found nothing but a restaurants and bars to choose from and absolutely nothing else to do. Maybe in summer there is more to do here, but I doubt this could rival other beaches I've... more

Booked the Old Ship for a birthday weekend away. Read many reviews and was a little concerned about the noise, the state of the rooms etc. When arrived very nice man in the car park took our car and parked it for our two day stay (costing £15.00 a day though). Went to room which was OK was meant to... more
