The Old Ship Hotel Reviews

We were very excited about staying at the Old Ship Hotel but what a disappointment it was and really not one I would recommend.
The hotel itself is in a good location opposite the sea and near to the town but the bedrooms are small and ridiculously hot, there is no air conditioning and the ceiling fan really isn't sufficient enough to cool the room down.
Also for a hotel in its location, it doesn't have any form of sound proofing on the windows and we were kept up till 4am with partygoers outside, swearing and shouting and then woken again at 7am by dustcarts.
Overall we managed approx 3 hours sleep which totally ruined our weekend.
We thought we would treat ourselves to breakfast in bed but when it arrived the waiter demanded we pay the extra £4 there and then, which we didn't have on us so was threatened to have the food taken away, when we finally got to eat, it was cold and revolting.
We asked to speak to a manager next morning and told one wasn't available and had to write instead, which we did, to no avail, we were told conservation laws restrict sound proofing the windows!! (I'm sure a little imagination could have got round this.)
Apparently they are aware of the heating problem but could do nothing to help us.
There really are far better hotels in that price bracket, don't touch The Old Ship.

I went here in January for a little break as the winter blues are nasty.
well the hotel was great lovely rooms the staff were lovely very helpful. Brighton is a lovely place, the beaches are crystal blue the whole place was lovely.
there’s loads to do even in winter. I got to say it was just what I needed, a little break away from the hustle and bustle of all our city’s I’d recommend this hotel for anyone its 10 outta 10 all round

We were a bit apprehensive about the Ship hotel after reading some of the reviews online.
<br>
Checking in was easy and the staff were very friendly and helpful offering to look after our luggage until our room was ready. We had a drink at the bar and some food. Again the service was excellent as was the food.
<br>
The room was excellent with a large bathroom with complimentary toiletries, and a lovely shower and large bath!
<br>
The bed was very comfortable and there was a full size TV with remote control.
Breakfast was a real treat. A large well stocked help yourself buffet feast which once eaten was enough to keep you going all day!
<br>
The hotel is close to all the tourist attractions, being in the town centre and an easy walk to all amenities.
<br>
The only downside, and nothing to do with the hotel, is the noise. It would appear that Brighton never sleeps! People outside until the early hours of the morning and early deliveries.
<br>
I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to everyone and anyone. <br>

We were also woken early by a loud buzzing noise which continued intermittently the whole morning.
When we got back from our evening out, the hotel had a party going on and a bouncer on the door - so we had to prove we were staying in the hotel otherwise we couldn't get back in!
Finally breakfast - the food was ok but considering the cost it was a real shame that the size of the plates were so small you could only have measly portions - I've had a lot better in a B&B.
I really would not recommend staying in this hotel - it certainly does not offer value for money.
