This is a very old hotel and feels like it could do with a bit of modernisation, but this did not affect my stay and I’d come again
Vanessa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice location, pleasant hotel, but really in need of some attention to improve the decor. Otherwise an interesting quirky hotel.
Edwin, 2-night trip

Hotel is full of character! Very creaky floorboards but the hotel is a few hundred years old so what do you expect.

Very welcomeing the staff were really nice as well
Carmen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

An ok functional hotel.

The hotel is quite dated but functional. Breakfast was ok, but replenishing of menu items was slower than expected for a facility of that size. They should add mushrooms to the breakfast menu. It was a warm weekend and the fan in the room didn't work. View from the room overlooking the pier was magnificent. Staff courteous, friendly and helpful. A good location. I would stay again.
Clive, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

he, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel itself was comfortable. But lots of gypsy folk which is not a problem when they behave but as the evening progressed they got more unruly and ended up in a fight which ended with the police being called.
1-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.
Brian, 1-night trip

Abdul, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very poor

Terrible the hotel has gone down hill. Very grubby and as for the breakfast was shocking . The staff in the breakfast area was the most miserable people i have ever met. Only asked for some more eggs and all you got was there on its way shocking.
