Lovely Stay

We had a lovely stay at the Old Ship Hotel Brighton. From the time we checked in until the time we left we were made to feel welcome and we were well looked after by all the staff. We had read that the hotel was a bit "tired" but we think it added to the charm of a very old building. Loved our sea facing room. 1 small negative, maybe a bit more vegan choice. Cannot wait to return. Thank you so much...

Lovely staff, very helpful

Lovely view, though the room was superior but wasn`t. Would love to stay again but in a better room...

Great

Just what I expected - sea view, traditional Brighton experience, etc. Only problem was noise at night which can`t be helped I guess....

A very enjoyable stay

The hotel is in a enviable position right on the sea front. We had an elderly relative with us and as it was a special occasion, she was given a free upgrade to a sea view room. The staff were superb and couldn`t do enough for us, particularly at the reception desk. The only slight problem was the breakfast, where the hot food kept running out. We have family in Brighton, so will definately return....
