Quaint but
The inn is quaint and the room has its charms, but like many old inns there is no air conditioning. When we stayed in early August, the evening outside was cool and pleasant, but the room was very warm. Even with an open window and fan, it was hard to sleep.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at the ship inn and my experience was far from satisfactory. Firstly, the room was extremely stifling, making it uncomfortable to stay in. There was no adequate ventilation or air conditioning to alleviate the heat, which significantly affected my overall comfort. Additionally, the hotel charged £19 for breakfast, which was an absolute disappointment. The quality of the food was subpar, and the croissant, in particular, was disgraceful. For the price, I expected much better. Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel due to the uncomfortable room conditions and the poor quality of the breakfast. There are certainly better options available for the price. Feel free to modify any part of this review to better suit your experience or add any additional details you think are important.

Rooms were extremely hot due to the weather. We were supplied a fan which helped, but if they had a small A/C unit it would have been a more enjoyable stay. Downside was the kitchen ran out of food at 8.30pm so we had to seek dinner elsewhere.

Bargain-priced pub B&B in Rye centre
Room: Luke's Tree - very pretty decorated room - huge bed - lovely French rattan style - good location - by river, accessible by foot to rest of Rye - cheaper prices than most other B&B's/ Hotels - nice friendly staff - good comms from hotel before booking - Good TV with Netflix app Cons (some nit-picking but worth mentioning) - very warm room overnight - there was a desk fan in the room which is usually a sign of a place knowing the room gets too hot (no built in air-con) . The old-fashions sash windows do open but the noise from the street traffic made it too annoying to leave open in the end. - no luggage rack to unpack in room, used bed in end - only 1 double socket accessible in room. Another was hidden behind bed. - hooks in room were hung above the hospitality console table so could only use one hook for jacket or other clothes would have been draped over the tea/kettle etc. - bathroom roller blind - missing beaded chain cord to raise/ lower - room was beside the hallway entrance/ stairwell so noisy with guests coming/going at all hours late and in morning so not very peaceful nights sleep. - random noises in night - maybe plumbing/ pipes or machinery/ facilities but woke suddenly a few time to noises. Bad nights sleep. - large gap under door so had hallway light creeping in at night and probably adds to noise heard. I covered gap with blanket in end. - Very thin walls - next door guests stumbled in around midnight and proceeded to chat/ plug in things

Conveniently located at the foot of Mermaid Street, the street you are coming to Rye for if you are a tourist, the Ship Inn is a great place to stay when visiting this charming old town. We had a wonderful Family room with two bedrooms and a beautiful bathroom. Staff was friendly and we felt very comfortable.They have a lovely dinner menu, and if you are staying for a longer time, there is a little Italian restaurant right next door for variety and another dining option. The only quirk is that if you are driving, you have to park in the park and display next to the hotel. It's free overnight. So you need to pay again in the morning or there is an option to purchase parking for the next day. A minor hassle for such a nice place to stay , though.
