We’ve stayed at the Old Ship several times, as it tends to be the best value for money. We love the central sea front location (and are prepared to put up with a bit of city noise… the complimentary ear plugs are a nice touch), sea views are well worth paying a bit extra for, and we even enjoy the 100 year old lift …. on the occasional time it arrives before we opt for the stairs instead (it is described optimistically as ‘a bit slow’). Very pleasant staff too. Looking forward to our next stay.

we have been visiting Brighton for 40years , and have stayed at The Old Ship hotel on many occasions when our children were young & for Christmas. It’s a bit tired & bit shabby in places , but the service is good & the staff are friendly. it’s in a very good central place to explore the Lanes & the pier with lots of restaurants nearby

Lovely old hotel with lots of character. While we didn’t use them we liked the lifts from the 1920s. The room was clean and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The only issue was the room we were in was situated across from a building which had lights on during the night. We had the curtains closed but light still seeped through, disturbing my boyfriend’s sleep. Blackout curtains would be a nice touch but other than that we are very happy with are stay and will be back if we come to Brighton again!

Good location and easy to get around. Hotel was old, tired and dated and in a poor state of repair in various places. The room was also ridiculously warm and for some reason the heating was on full blast all the time. Never a 4 star hotel. Staff friendly and polite

On arrival reception was lovely and staff amazing.However once you get inside the lift it changes drastically.Damp patches everywhere through the hotel and ceiling hanging down in places.We had to change our room as it looked nothing like the pictures on the website.Staff were fantastic and moved us straight away.Second room was not much better as our door was hanging off and nets all ripped but bathroom better than the first one and cleaner.But despite the decor we would definitely stay again and it was fun and our stay in Brighton was fab☺️
