Hotel was delightful. Location had beautiful views. Room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was nice. Charming staff. My only suggestion it to put an outlet close to the bed for visitors to charge devices yet still have close by.

It was clean and homely. Might need a few renovations as it’s clearly well used over the years like the windows don’t stay open without a stopper which is quite dangerous and the ceilings a bit cracked but not falling apart at all just well lived over the years. The bed was the most comfortable bed Ive ever had the pleasure of sleeping in and the breakfast was delicious. Beautiful view from my room - worth every penny just wish they had a late check out option!

The hotel is in a good position in the old town and the rooms are comfortable, with a comfortable bed and large bathroom. The lino in the bathroom could do with replacing as it was stained. Cleaning staff and breakfast room staff were good and breakfast was good. Hotel was good value.

I was having trouble finding the hotel and the hotel staff was kind enough to stay with me on the phone, guiding me through the unfamiliar town. So kind! Would stay here again!

I had a great stay in the Hope Anchor hotel. A lovely warm welcoming place in a great location. My room was comfortable and charming and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was enough to last you through till teatime and cooked to order so fresh and tasty. Rye is an amazing place to visit and this hotel is ideally situated to enjoy it.

This is probably the dirtiest and most tired hotel room I have ever stayed in. I have taken photos and a written complaint will be forwarded to the hotel. If you are contemplating booking this hotel, do not be fooled by the out of date and fake photos. The dust, dirt, bird droppings and all round cleanliness of the room was appalling. I didn’t use the shower as I was too concerned the flaking paint on the ceiling would fall on my head. I have given this hotel 1 star, only because I could not rank it any less

Really nice position above the town within reach of lovely bars and restaurants and tourist attractions. Lovely view from the hotel room and great breakfast that was included. We had a superior room which was very spacious and a lovely bed. Only negative was shower had very poor pressure. All in all nice place and would recommend. We'd definitely stay again. We absolutely loved Rye in general aswell.

Lovely small hotel perched up top of Rye overlooking fantastic scenery. Staff welcoming and considerate. Breakfast is served to your personal choices, centred on English traditional style, which is very good. No lift, and some pretty steep stairs for us, so will not suit all. Approach is up a side road, reasonable gradient for luggage on wheels. Rooms a little tired, but its a very old building must be remembered. Bed was absolutely fine with clean linen, bathroom well fitted out with nice shower as well as a separate bath. Clean towels and sundries plentiful. Good wi-fi. Definitely recommend if your fit and healthy. Rye is a little gem, great pubs and restaurants.

Breakfast was poor. Cheap bread and deep fried ingredients. Frozen pastries. No parking. At least 15 mins walk from car park uphill with suitcases. Attic room dated with very small double bed.
