Local tip
Guests seeking a coastal outlook can ask about a Renovated King Seaview Room when making a reservation.

The Old Ship Hotel is a seafront base in Brighton, positioned on Kings Road near the Lanes. The setting places the hotel close to the shoreline, with room categories designed around stays by the coast and easy access to the city’s central attractions.

Accommodation has a contemporary coastal style, with renovated rooms combining clean modern comfort and subtle references to the hotel’s seaside setting. King rooms provide a single king bed, while twin rooms have two single beds. Double Double Rooms contain two king beds, making them suitable for families or friends sharing a stay.

Renovated King Seaview Rooms add views across the seafront, while Junior Suites offer a separate lounge area alongside a king bed and sofa bed. The suites are suited to guests looking for more space during a longer visit. Room sizes vary by category, and rollaway beds and cots can be requested.

Practical facilities include complimentary Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a mini fridge, a television with Freeview, tea and coffee-making facilities, a hairdryer, an iron and ironing board. Bathrooms feature walk-in showers. Daily housekeeping, linen and towels, lift access and room service are also available, supporting both short breaks and longer stays.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming rather than formal, with the hotel’s character shaped by its coastal location and contemporary refurbishment. Sea-view rooms suit guests who want the shoreline to form part of the stay, while the standard renovated rooms provide a practical base for exploring the seafront and nearby Lanes.

The Old Ship Hotel works for couples choosing a coastal city break, families needing flexible sleeping arrangements, and friends travelling together. Its range of room layouts also makes it suitable for guests who value additional space or separate lounge accommodation. The seafront position, room service and everyday in-room facilities add convenience for stays focused on Brighton’s coast and central neighbourhoods.
