This is a very old hotel and feels like it could do with a bit of modernisation, but this did not affect my stay and I’d come again
Vanessa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel and great location.

The views across the sea are lovely. It's a busy road at times with and with no air con in the room meant windows had to be open in the summer sun. The hotel provides ear plugs though which are a life saver and made for a good night's sleep! The bar is busy with entertainment until the early evening and the drinks are well priced.

Nice location, pleasant hotel, but really in need of some attention to improve the decor. Otherwise an interesting quirky hotel.

Hotel is full of character! Very creaky floorboards but the hotel is a few hundred years old so what do you expect.
Michelle, 2-night trip

We've been many times to the shop. And every time has been enjoyable. Our only disappointment was Winston Churchill s chair has been removed. It certainly added to the hist of this hotel.

Good value stay

The Old Ship is an amazing history hotel. It's olde worlde and full of quirky charme. It's central and seafront based so that's always a plus . I slept peacefully and loved my retro room. Yes, it's worn looking but for the price, it's great. I'd return to this hotel as it's warm and safe.
