We had a lovely stay at the hotel. It’s not easy to find when driving but the location is great with some lovely views. Staff were first class and couldn’t have done more. The room was comfortable - nice bed but low water pressure which made the shower a bit feeble. Small improvements to attention to detail would have given a higher rating ie having a hair dryer actually in the room, having a proper roll of toilet paper and not one virtually empty on arrival. A major issue is the hotel offering of booking a table for dinner in Rye, with the George Grill being pushed with an offer of a 10% discount. We fell for it and had an awful meal and experience. Maybe we should have read more reviews of the George before accepting the offer.

We had an amazing stay! The room was a good size and had everything we needed for us and our baby. All the members of staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was tasty and had a lot of variety. Location was great with views and close to the town centre. We will stay again as it was so reasonable, you couldn’t ask for more.

Unassuming, traditional hotel enjoying a super location in the centre of Rye. We had a very pleasant 2 night stay in a family room. Lovely large room with very comfortable beds and great view. All was clean, shower was hot and staff very nice. Breakfast was very good quality and lots of choice. The decor is a bit mismatched and tired in places but we liked the faded grandeur of the place and the literary links made it special. This is no hotel parking, but we parked in a public car park less than 5 minutes away. I think you can drive up to it to drop your luggage off but we just took ours straight from the car park no problem. It is a bit steep but all of Rye is a bit steep and higgledy piggledy so it might be an issue all round of you have mobility issues. We would definitely return and recommend to others, as long as you’re not too fussy about perfect decor etc.

Nous avons réservé 2 chambres en famille. La chambre numéro 26 pour nos enfants était toute à fait convenable pour le prix. La 27, chambre double de luxe est l’expérience la plus choquante de notre vie. Une fenêtre qui ne pouvez pas ce fermer, ont nous a donné du scotch, une lumière de sortie de secours installé au dessus de notre lit, impossible de dormir dans le noir, une vrai discothèque. La salle de bain vétuste avec une porte salle donnant sur un débarra donnant sur notre lit. Nous avons pas réussi à dormir avec une fenêtre totalement ouverte, de l’humidité, la lumière et sachant le débarra dans la salle de bain. Aucun geste du manager, le personnel a été désolé pour nous et surtout mal à l’aise de cette situation. Je suis très étonné des commentaires des autres clients, il semble que cette chambre a seulement été occupé par nous. C’est une honte de ne pas avoir de moyens de nos jours d’agir contre de t’elle arnaques.

We booked room 23 for our anniversary this past weekend, the staff are friendly and the breakfast was well organised and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately it was let down by a poor or no maintenance. I have included pictures for you to see , black mould on the shower celing covered with a white aerosol, lock completely missing on showed room door , chandelier missing and broken , slats in the blind missing . Broken bedside light and no lampshade at all on one side .I have included pictures. We were made to pay before we even saw the room .

Such fantastic staff at this small hotel. Rooms were rather dated but the bed linen and towels were all crisp and fresh. Small bar and lounge. Perfect location for exploring Rye. Breakfast was good and lots to choose from as you ordered the night before.
