Lock in a great price for The Old Ship Hotel – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Great location for all Brighton has to offer. Very good old hotel with lots off room downstairs inside and out to sit, relax and eat.

Chris, United Kingdom

Well what i linked in the place First : location Second : the cleaning of the rooms Third : the huge efforts done by reception to guide us about the city

Rayan, Saudi Arabia

The more mature lady who greeted us every morning for breakfast and told us to have a cuddle, she made the experience in Brighton more personal

Cian, Ireland

Good location nice room clean Nice bar& staff

Stephen, Thailand

Bed a little hard. Room very hot and no way to regulate it! They seem to know as there is a large fan in the room for you to use! Unfortunately being on seafront, near to night spots, a fair bit of late night noise.

Jan, United Kingdom

Very friendly staff and a good location on the boulevard. There is good place to sit outside and enjoy a drink looking over the sea.

Michael, Netherlands

Location and view. White company toiletries. Breakfast was a reasonable choice of hot and cold

Christopher, United Kingdom

Staff were very good, hotel comfortable, nice terrace looking out to sea

O, Ireland

the garage parking by the waterfront is a real benefit in a busy town with a convulted set of one way streets . The hotel is perfectly located for those with a wish for a stroll before breakfast to see the sunrise along the promenade .......and even possibly an early morning dip!

Stephen, United Kingdom

Friendly staff. Views out to from the main front windows are stunning.

“More interested in bar revenue than their hotel guests”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Double Room with Sea View
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The management were more interested in selling bar beverages than their guests. Resulting in drunken behaviour and leaving the hotel guest areas in appalling conditions. The noise from afternoon banks meant guest could not enjoy their rooms and other facilities. The toilets were left in a terrible state. Not to be recommended. You book a room but not use and no possibility to have a nap before dinner and a night out.
