Great, but no air conditioning or fan
The hotel was great but I came on the hottest day of the year and the hotel has no air conditioning or fan system so it was quite stuffy. Otherwise, an excellent experience.

When I first walked in the bedroom, I literally laughed out loud - The room was tiny !! Which isn’t a problem, but compared to pictures online the bedroom looked nothing like it did in reality. A small double bed, tiny chair in corner, beside cabinets & a thin dresser. No patio doors as all the double rooms show in pictures - just an old windows that rattled al night. I looked through every photo on their webpages & didn’t see my room. Any room that was similar to mine looked as if it had patio doors leading or 2 double chairs to make it look like you had a sitting area. Just remember the standard double room is 215ft - that is small!! The best thing about this hotel is the location & go into town. It’s very close to the Castle & mermaid street which is off high Street. The hotel has parking at back, a little tricky to get to, but reception will give you a map. £8.50 a day pay on line. From outside, the hotel looks a bit tired & as you climb the stairs to the room the carpets are very worn & some area’s definitely need maintenance & paint. They have an outside area on the front. Room is very clean. Modern. No where to put large cases, except behind the door. Lovely bathroom One thing - no handle on inside of the door. I’d stay here again but only due to its walking location. I really do hate being deceived - in regards the pictures on their site of rooms & them not looking anything like the room we were in. For this reason I’m marking lower scores..

Great staff. Excellent breakfast. The decor in the property needs updating. Bedrooms kept nice and clean. Good shower. My only recommendation is for the hotel to not play music during breakfast - it is unnecessary in my opinion.

Great accommodation option in Rye
Very friendly, helpful & efficient staff. Lovely, comfortable hotel with excellent sun terrace. Excellent breakfast. Hotel updating some rooms, some done - very nicely. Excellent location with shops and restaurants nearby - we went to Webbe, a fish restaurant less than 5 mins from the Lookout. Gusbourne vineyard 15 minute taxi ride away - highly recommended.

An excellent place to stay, friendly staff, comfortable bed, good breakfast. We were in room 23, which seems to have been newly renovated and was lovely. The communal staircase needs updating and TLC, but this all takes time.

Nice, in the process of being improved.
Hotel is in the process of being renovated. Our rooms have been newly done and were lovely as was the breakfast. Corridors were looking scruffy and windows in other rooms were being replaced while we were there. Parking costs £8 per day and breakfast was Continental only.
