Although the hotel is being renovated we were upgraded to bed and breakfast after booking a sea view room. The ballroom where breakfast was served was magnificent and full of history. Will definitely be back!!

Loved the character and history of the hotel. Loved the architectural feature and the authenticity. I appreciated the helpfulness of the staff and the fact they they are knowledgeable about the history of the hotel and their willingness to share that knowledge. Great place full of a soul of its own, unlike many other soulless corporate hotels. The uniqueness of the Old Ship Hotel should be celebrated and retained.

Hotel looked very dated, it needs a complete renovation, the room was okay in terms of cleanliness but the bathroom was in need of complete change there was no air conditioning but there was a fan which was adequate. The bed was clean and reasonably comfortable. The breakfast was of very low quality not worth the price.

It was tricky to find the room because of the signs from the stairs but once I had done, it was a great size room with practical bathroom - although I couldn’t get any hot water despite leaving it running.

Fabulous, oldest hotel in Brighton but unfortunately while that added to the charm it also was apparent in the state of the rooms, however, I understand they are redoing them all in the next while. The rooms, although quite shabby looking, were clean & comfortable. Great location
