"Great hotel with lovely sea views"
Great hotel, very conveniently located. Very close to many local amenities. The staff we`re very helpful. Some of the hotel could do with a makeover, i.e. plaster falling from walls. Overall, the room was very comfortable and good night sleep. We would recommend family &friends to choose this hotel.

"Noise and heat"
Hi we had a nice stay at the Old ship in Brighton apart from two things. Firstly the noise from the street during the night due to revellers on their way home and secondly the heat in the room made sleep fitful. The trouble was you couldn`t open the window due to the noise! Overall the stay was good and it is a beautiful hotel.

The room was good, but the bathroom was freezing with mold on the window and blind and after having a bath I could not get the plug out because it had no chain. (Sorry to the house keeper...)

"Very good hotel but needs double glazing in the bedrooms."
We stayed in room 151, which was a good room although the shower head doesn`t point in the right direction, so has to be hand held. Main problem was the noise from late night revellers outside. Ok if you don`t go to bed until after 2pm. Double glazing required urgently. Would definately stay again but would want to stay in a room higher up. Bar food is great.
