Stayed at The Old Ship for a 1 night stay as we had tickets for Ice Show. The Old Ship has a great location with a car park, however parking is charged at £23 per day. This is on top of the well over £100 per night per room cost without breakfast. The staff at the Hotel could not be... More

This is clearly a hotel with a history. Don't stay here if you're expecting a flashy new, all mod cons, type of hotel. Do stay if you're looking for a hotel with great character and a really good location. Service was good, and breakfast runs late at the weekend which is good if you want a lie in. I'd certainly...

The Old Ship is in a great location, but beware of the noise. I stayed over on a Thursday night for business. All I wanted was a good night's sleep ahead of a presentation the next day. Unfortunately, I could barely sleep until the party in the street outside subsided at about 3am. I would definitely recommend avoiding the first... More

On arrival at the hotel, there was nowhere to park to unload our luggage. Checking in was easy. We stayed in rooms 120 (Premier suite) and 121 (Double) Parking is available, but at the cost of £23 per day and the hotel holds no resposibility for the safety of the vehicles. Wifi is available throughout the hotel, but is charged.... More

This hotel is ideally located with friendly approachable staff. The breakfast was fantastic, the bar area was clean and spacious. The only down side to the whole experience was our room was not cleaned during my two night stay nor was I given fresh towels........ Once I contacted reception, they were very apologetic and couldn't do enough for us. More

Still it was better than the running street battle at 0400 hours i witnessed last stay Public areas of the hotel have been improved by... More

Have stayed in this hotel many times and love it. Old world hotel with new world facilties. Outlook from our bedroom was not good but room was lovely, clean and comfortable. Staff very accommodating. More

I booked a weekend getaway with my friends for my birthday via lastminute. When we arrived we were told by the unfriendly and frankly confrontational staff that they had no record of us. Normally this wouldn't bother me - mistakes happen and I'm sure it's not unheard of for communication issues with lastminute and their kin. But the truly terrible... More

This is one of my favourite hotels on the south coast. I love that old seafaring vibe about the place. Had cause to stay overnight in Brighton recently and this one was my first port of call and hotel of choice. Friendly welcome and helpful staff made the stay pleasant. 8/10 More
