Simon, United Kingdom

The staff at the Old Ship were superb. They really went out of their way to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible - they even brought a dog bed & bowls for the dog to the room! The food at the restaurant was also excellent & reasonably priced. The hotel is also in a perfect location in Brighton. Would highly recommend a stay here.

“Misleading rooms as to adverts and star rating.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Double Room with Sea View
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉We paid for what was supposed to be a delux double room with sea view, the room was clean and sea view but very cramped and old condition compared to down stairs and advertised pictures. The bathroom was old and tatty mouldy on bath meaning that you would not bath happily in this room as dirt marks in batch and really poor condition, Very poor quality room not even close to 3 star and being it supposed to be a deluxe doubly room? Two single beds pushed together and a double bed sheet put over the two single beds. Very very poor. Don't be mislead with the recieption area as this is very pleasant until you hit the bar locals, we was unlucky enough for room 222 and is so poor is not even funny, no we did not complain at reception as we don't like to complain to staff about that state as no doubt the rest of the rooms just as poor and my mistake for booking this hotel! Got caught short this time will not book here again unless they put realistic prices for a room of no way more than £100 for a 2 star room rating. During the day off the street local public piss heads using the bar and entertainment making a mockery of the bar area and out side bar seating area making it not a place to sit and drink as we would have enjoy had to go off site. Really not happy Infact. Please do feel free to contact me back and I will even meet you back at the hotel to go through the room as only live 27 miles away and we spent in total £275 on total poor hotel. Do your self a favour and stay either next door at the DU Vin and modern Durys inn. Please don't take the risk or book sale where at two star as this is really all your getting with a delux room
눇Down stairs clean and restaurant but not more than a three star hotel here.

눉Breakfast was a bit disappointing...menu said honey and sunflower seed loaf but when I asked the waitress laughed as if to say you should be so lucky! There were mini croissants and thin slices of bread to toast but a basket of breakfast rolls would have been better. There was a limited range of cooked food but an extra fairly large charge for anything nicer like salmon and scrambled eggs. Next time I'd choose to pay less for the room and have a more interesting and less pricey breakfast in a Brighton cafe. BUT otherwise all good!
눇Great location.
