Great stay, amazing staff The hotel was good for what we paid. The staff were amazing. A female manager was amazing and always pleasant. Also a special thank you to Fletcher who worked serving us through out the week. Always went above and beyond. A key member of staff the hotel is lucky to have.

If you want the worst hotel experience I wouldn't recommend this hotel at all its definitely not worth £200 for 2 nights the stairs you dont feel safe at all the stairs feel like there collapsing falling apart there's no other hand rail only the stairs rail the lift dose not feel safe at all you definitely cannot fit 6 people in there we had someone come into our room we didnt even know there was gonna be someone coming in there to clean it it would of been nice to be notified as we had left our credit cards on the table you was happy to call us to tell us that check out time was 11.00 we was sun burnt and that was why we took so long to check out so we went from the cleaner knocking on the door 2 minutes later the telephone rang in the room to tell us that it was already time to check out even tho you had sent someone upstairs to tell us to check out definitely wouldn't be coming back worst experience of our lives God forbid it becomes anyone temporary stay thanks.

Six nights of hell Disappointing Stay – Needs Serious Improvement I stayed at the Old Ship Hotel with a group, and sadly, the experience was very poor. Some of our party were bitten by bugs in their beds, which was deeply concerning. The hot water was unreliable, the lifts were painfully slow, and the noise from the hotel bar went on well into the early morning. The overall condition of the hotel was just as disappointing: peeling wallpaper, chipping paint, damp patches, and a shower that kept falling apart. Yes, it’s a historic 1920s building — but we’re 100 years on now, and basic standards should still be met. There are many other hotels along Brighton seafront that are far better maintained and much cleaner. I’ve stayed in several, and this was by far the worst experience. I would not return and can’t recommend it.

Don’t Book It The location and Les Gilbert at the front desk are the only redeeming features of this property. Beyond that, the place is shockingly tired and unclean — a real disappointment. The overall condition suggests serious neglect, and it’s hard to believe it has passed any recent inspections. The issues are numerous: • Blown plaster throughout the building • Dirty, poorly maintained toilets • Windows that don’t open properly • Outdated and worn furniture • Expired or non-compliant PAT testing Frankly, the owners should be ashamed of the state of this property. It misrepresents itself completely, and in its current condition, it would struggle to meet basic hospitality standards, let alone warrant a four-star rating. Even after paying to upgrade we decided not to stay and were fortunate enough to get our money back. If have any respect for yourself you won’t be staying here!
