Positives - on the beach front with lovely views, just a short walk to all the tourist attractions. Very nice English breakfast. Staff were polite and efficient. Lobby areas neat and tidy. Good lunch food. Negatives. Upstairs hallways and bedrooms are in very poor condition. Peeling wallpaper, dirty sofas, threadbare carpets, scratched paintwork and faded curtains. Private Parking advertised but still costs £25 a night. Limited amenities.

Beds were comfy, room was clean and well presented and the staff were friendly. It is a older building so there are a few quirks but overall it's a good place to stay for a few days

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.
