The Old Ship Hotel Brighton  

The location is brill!

The noise on the street that went on until 5am.

Good parking facilities.

Noisy other people!

Room was spacious and the bed so amazingly comfortable. The comfort of the bed all important because I had just completed the London 2 Brighton walking challenge. Bathroom also very spacious with a bath and powerful shower. Lovely!

Be warned seafront location means it is quite noisy so don't book if you can't cope with that. I would also say that the corridors on the second floor need decorating. It may be that a redecoration is only part- finished because it was a different story once we entered our room which was gorgeous!

We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay at the Old ship Hotel. I had read some of the reviews before arriving and can honeslty say that the hotel ,although a bit dated was very comfortable. We were upgraded for free on arrival and that gave us a seaview which was perfect. The breakfast was outstanding and probably one of the best breakfast we have had when staying at a hotel.We got a really good deal from booking.com and would definately stay here again. Perfect location for everything we wanted in Brighton.

On the sea front

Did not have my booking, although I booked through booking.com. Put us in an unfinished room. The hotel blamed the website but I will never know who ruined my holiday.

very nice hotel in a good location.very clean and tidy and very good value for money

there was nothing I didn't like. My only niggle was that due to poor ventilation in the bathroom there were some mould forming on the wall above the bath which was a little unsightly and easily preventable.

lovely building, friendly staff,nice room, great location!!

The staff were a credit to the service industry, your company should be praising them often. They showed a care for your guests that I have not experienced for a long time, and I stay in many hotels. They need to be appreciated at the highest level, it would be such a shame if you lost them, I hope they are being treated well, or you will.

The hotel remains as tatty as my last visit. The facade may have had a complete renovation, but internally the bedrooms were in need of attention, highlighted by someone with a critical eye. Carpets that dont meet the tiles in the bathroom, windows with perished plaster and wallpaper in the recesses, paintwork scuffed, bathrooms with tired paintwork and marked fittings, shower heads in need of replacement, ceiling in my room had been covered with lining paper that was coming unstuck and had been hurriedly painted, one coat only so the roller lines visible, all superficial repairs,that would make all the difference. Looks like it was a cheap, and rushed coverup. Not convinced that the rooms warrent the 4 star rating. Not only your guests, but your staff deserve better. I would recommend the hotel to others, but it would be based on the staff, not the rooms.

Location, service, breakfast all fantastic

Very noisy outside at night due to hen/stag nights etc in to the early hours.

Great location and value for money, staff were friendly and the breakfast was good

There was a lot of noise around the early hours of the morning, not sure if there is a club nearby and it was closing time?

Very friendly, clean & tidy. Brilliant location too.

The position of the room was a bit disappointing. My partner & I were woken early in the morning, each day, as the staff were moving large wheelie bins outside, they also spoke quite loudly too. So from that point of view we felt we couldn't relax or have a lie-in.

Excellent location. The staff were friendly and efficient. I enjoyed the fact the hotel was old and had lots of character.

As the hotel is in such a great location - close to bars and restaurants - it could be noisy at night. However, this not the fault of the hotel, although double glazing may help!
