AI Summary
The location is excellent, near the seafront and The Lanes. Guests love the comfortable beds and clean rooms. The breakfast is varied and delicious, served in a bright room with a pleasant smell. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Amazing location. But very tired looking. There was worn carpet and peeling paint. We were kept up at night by the people in the hotel next door loudly emptying bottles into bins through the night. The photo shows the view from our window of the other hotel's loading bay.

Stayed one evening at the Old Ship in Brighton to attend a wedding reception. The hotel location of is excellent and conveniently situated near shops and bars. Also opposite the beach.
The decor of the hotel is a bit tired and is need of a face lift. But for the money we paid it was value for money and we would rebook in the future.

It’s okay nice location right on the beach. Staff were friendly and professional, hygiene was okay but there were a couple of hairs on towels. Breakfast was okay a small cooked breakfast on offer(no veggie sausages available upon request) cereal offered with alternative milk available upon request. Rooms a little outdated but overall good experience. Limited car park available at Hotel £27 a day or £4.50 per hour but you have to leave keys with concierge as they move cars around to fit them in. Original lift pretty cool

It is very difficult to park and it is loud during the weekends and holidays. But the location is good.

The room for what we paid fell well short of our expectations. The overall finish was tired, the carpet dirty and one of the lights in the bathroom help in place with a bit of gauze. The breakfast was lovely as was the downstairs area in the hotel. The lift was filthy as were the ladies toilets. All in all really disappointed..

We stayed at this hotel as we had a wedding not too far away about 15 minute drive away. Booking a taxi was a nightmare to get home as there are not many options so as you can imagine a wedding with 100 guests or more all trying to get a cab wasn’t successful and we had to wait over an hour to get a taxi. The room was cute and clean. People at the bar and restaurant was nice but the reception was a nightmare. They were very short staff so checking out was taking forever so we just left without checking out and let the keys on the desk.
