AI Summary
The self-service breakfast was praised for its variety and taste. Guests appreciated the comfortable beds and clean rooms. The excellent location near the seafront and The Lanes was convenient for exploring the town.

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.

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

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 Rooms a little outdated but overall good experience.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.
