Just the price. And the reason I say this is that we stayed in the Travelodge just outside the city walls in York 3 weeks later in May. The York hotel and room were pristine we couldn’t fault it and we paid £70 a night. The Old Ship was £100 per night. Neither had breakfast included. I just felt we paid too much for the Old Ship. For that reason we’d not go back unless the price was more reasonable.

We love the location and that it’s more like a pub with rooms than a hotel. The beer garden looks out onto the broadway where people walk and out onto the bay. We’ve been three times now. The people are lovely.

As a couple a king sized bed would be preferable. The mattress wasn't entirely comfortable. The radiator thermostat was broken so we didn't have the choice to turn down the heating. Missing towel rails in the bathroom. Shower hose is too short and meant the shower head didn't sit level (pointed towards the door)

The service was friendly and the breakfast was probably one of the best we've had in along time. Location awesome right on the beachfront and you can see that this place would be popular in Summer. Their outdoor space looked lovely with festoon lighting (although time of year meant it was for looking at only)

Personal preference would of been a king size bed

Not much really. A good, down-to-earth local pub with nicely furnished rooms. Comfortable, but nothing fancy. Just what I expected and wanted.

I booked a room with a sea view, and it did not disappoint! It was a delight to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of waves breaking on the shore. The breakfast was excellent: good quality ingredients, cooked well. If the hotel is serving food when you stay, I would say give it a try, based on the breakfast. Unfortunately, evening meals were not being served mid-week, when I stayed. There are a couple of restaurants in the village that are open most evenings, which are OK, but nothing exceptional.

No complaints.

The location, right on the prom, and the view from our window overlooking the bay. Also, a phenomenal breakfast which lasted all day!

Ensuite was compact and nowhere to hang towels or put toiletries, but we managed. It was only a minor inconvenience. No hairdryer in the room. I'm sure they would have got me one but we only stayed 2 nights so I managed.

Breakfast served on time and tasted great. Offered a selection of cereal and yogurt but we went for the full English , it was huge. We stayed in suite 5, bed was very comfy, had a lovely sea view and it was quiet. Shower was powerful, good size cubicle.

Location to sea really lovely staff friendly people

The Old Ship doesn't offer evening meals but there is a very good Italian restaurant nearby.

Our room was a good size with two double beds an adequate bathroom with a good shower. Close to the sea with a good view and the sound of waves on the beach. Everything clean and tidy.
