Good value stay

The Old Ship is an amazing history hotel. It's olde worlde and full of quirky charme. It's central and seafront based so that's always a plus . I slept peacefully and loved my retro room. Yes, it's worn looking but for the price, it's great. I'd return to this hotel as it's warm and safe.

8/10 Very good

My second time staying here. It shows its age inside but my room was clean and it's a great location! Can be noisy at night if room overlooks the sea though as lots of stag and hen do's in Brighton!
Dawn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Seaside chill.

I had my room upgraded to a seaview room free of charge, which was always going to land well. This is a tidy and chilled out beachfront hotel that's well worth your time booking.
Toby, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location but parking is problematic.

This is a good location but quite noisy at night and difficult to get to when you have a car. The only option we found available for parking cost us 42 pounds for the overnight stay (42pounds for 24 hours). Breakfast was excellent with good choices.

The best of Brighton

This is my favourite hotel and if could take it to where I am staying I would! The bed is the most comfortable I have had. We stay in the same disabled access room and it is just right. The wet room bathroom is good a bit tired but ok. Having stayed twice in 2 weeks I noticed this is the one place we return to that I know I am going to relax and sleep well in. Great location on the seafront but also a five minute walk into the heart of Brighton shopping and food. 2 minutes from the Brighton centre and an easy stroll to the Dome and Palace theatre. What more could you want

Great stay

Great and welcoming service. The hallways are a bit worn out, but then we were surprised by how nice the room was. It was perfect! The breakfast was amazing.
Emma, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would definitely stay again

Upon check in we were told we had been upgraded to a larger room. A lovely surprise as it was a birthday trip. The room was clean, warm and comfortable. All the common areas on the ground floor were nicely laid out and colourful. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. Would have been perfect if they offered more coffee options other than filter. Overall a good stay and would go back.

Bands Love The Old Ship !!!!!

We love staying at the Old Ship, and we appreciate the staff accommodating our parking requests. We're a small band on the road, and your garage makes our gigs so much better as street parking is terrible for travel of this nature.
