The location is fantastic, with the beach right in front of the property. It’s also only about a 13-minute walk from Brighton Station, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The only minor issue was that the toilet didn’t flush very well, and it occasionally seemed like the toilet paper might get clogged. However, flushing it a couple of times solved the problem. If you’re planning to stay in Brighton and want to be close to the seafront, I think this is an excellent place to stay.

My wife and I loved this currently old style quirky hotel although the hotel is currently undergoing refurbishment which did not spoil our stay. The hotel was central to everything. All the staff we came across were very friendly, happy to help and tried their best to accommodate us. Breakfast is good and plentiful and a lot of choice. Our room on the first floor west wing was lovely big including the comfortable bed. The only small downsize was maybe the toiler/shower need upgrading and the lighting/electrics as well. I did get the feeling that the hotel was trying to keep the standard high and their best to keep customers satisfied maybe because the refurbishment but none of that affected us. We would certainly come back again

The professionalism of the front of house staff made my check in very smooth . I am very pleased with the “ language “ used . No team members , they refer to each other respectfully by addressing each other as collègues . I like this approach . The lady in the front desk has it all going on , in her busy busy day , she took time to recognise me and wave as I entered the lift . I look forward to returning soon . Thank you for an enjoyable stay .

The room was spacious and nicely decorated. The hotel itself is in a lovely spot by the sea front with great access to anything you could need.

Personable & friendly staff, warm welcome and accommodated quickly-disappointed we were not advised of the severe refurbishment & lack of parking offered which we would normally take advantage of& not reflected in the nightly cost, however, clean & tidy and we have used several times in past

My stay last night at the old ship was very good. The room was just right especially the comfy bed. The only problem i encountered was the sink was blocked with the water not going down the drain after use. I did mention this to a member of staff at the reception when i was checking out.
