Perfect location & lovely team. Check-in plus the terrace bar were perfect - we used the terrace when we arrived and for an early morning coffee before breakfast, No room service or evening meals, but we’re didn’t need either. A huge range of eating options within 5-10 minutes walk. Apart from strolling around Rye, we also drove to Rye Harbour (free car park there) and walked to the Discovery Centre and the sea. Note that for the hotel car park you pay £10.00 per day and this needs to be done via the Ringgo app. We received a very clear email on parking instructions before we arrived.

I stayed for one day with my daughter we were impressed with room it was a very nice room with a terrace . The location was great , it was only about 20 mins by bus from Rye station to the Camber sand beach. The breakfast was amazing it was intercontenent, the gay who served us was so polite and helpful and the rest of staff too. Will be nice if they change the hotel carpet otherwise its highly recommended.

Location is verry central to all the lovely things that Rye has to offer - the view from our room (at the top of the hotel) was spectacular. Although the room was top floor, and the temperature was hot, the fan supplied did a good job of keeping the room cool. We met two different members of staff who went above and beyond to help us and this made the stay. There are some rooms that have been renovated and other areas, (the hallway and stairs) that are yet to be done and appear to look tired and in need of a refurb too. Breakfast was well organised and food was of good quality with a range to choose from.

As one can tell from the photos, this is a beautiful lodge in the old city. It's perched on a cliff overlooking the lowlands and the harbor off in the distance. The staff were always helpful and friendly. The breakfast menu, while limited, offered a fine variety of options, all well prepared. The only factor that keeps this rating from 5-stars is that the building lacks an elevator and stairs to upper floors are narrow and steep, the carpet is threadbare, and the walls require repair and re-painting. (The staff assured us that such repairs are forthcoming.) One would expect better upkeep, given the rates charged. That said, we'd go back.

Very well positioned in the centre of Rye, with good value Ringo parking to the rear. Good common room facilities; dining, bar, terrace and reception. Hotel and room very clean with good quality selection of toiletry products, towels etc. Comfy bed and bedding. Plus a great table fan that was needed of a record breaking hot day/night Hotel only let slightly down with tried decor needs a bit of decorative TLC and some fixture and fitting updates.

The hotel was in a good location and had ample parking. However the hotel is looking very tired with worn carpets, cracked mirrors and rooms in the need of decorating. Bedroom walls were very thin so you could hear tvs and conversations in other rooms. The cooked breakfast was nice but the continental breakfast was very basic. Overall our stay was comfortable but the room was vey overpriced

We had a lovely, comfortable room (6) with a nice view but the air-conditioning was either not working or ineffective. The breakfasts were great and the Happy Hour prices at the bar good. We were disappointed that the bar closed early yesterday and we couldn't get a "half time" refill. It wasn't open at all Tuesday evening because of staff sickness but we were made aware of that.

We arrived on bicycles to a very warm welcome. The staff member showed us to a locked room where our bikes would be stored safely overnight. Our room, a small double was cosy but very comfortable. The hotel is in the centre of Rye with easy access to many pubs, and restaurants, we visited two micro brewery pubs - Waterworks, and Garage Culture Brewing Co. There was a great selection of breakfast items including cooked options. Thank you, we look forward to a return visit.

First appearance when arriving in the car park were not good. Pealing paint and a general unkempt condition. Staff were helpful, breakfast ok and generally quite clean but the condition of walls, paintwork, bathroom grouting was appalling. Rear exit to car park was a disgrace. Room was a good size and the bedding was a high quality as were the towels but overall, I’m unsure how they can charge almost £200 per night
