Rye birthday treat

Our room was up in the eaves with 1 small velux window and no window in the bathroom and it was 28 degs. We had to keep our door open to the corridor and there was a fire exit door open down the corridor we got a through draft but obviously that wasn't private having our door open. You had 1 person on reception and after waiting for someone to come to the bar after 10 mins I went to the reception and the lady said oh that's me , I'm the only one here and doing the reception and bar . The breakfast table was very limited , cooked breakfast ok but no croissants etc just toast, cereal and apples and bananas.

Excellent customer service from the lovely lady at reception! Breakfast was great- continental with the option to order a hot meal too (the scrambled eggs on toast was delicious). We had an early train booked for our checkout day however the hotel arranged a takeaway breakfast which we really appreciated. Room spacious and clean - we’d absolutely return!

Stayed at this hotel before and enjoyed it. This time the hotel had been up grading some of the rooms. One of the best reasons for staying is the staff are very friendly and helpful. Another reason is one of the few hotels in Rye and surrounding area with its own car park.

The staff were excellent and very accommodating. Very comfortable room for a family of 4 and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent - lots of choice and extras were available if needed. We were also able to pay for late check out which was fabulous as we had been to a wedding the day before and really needed to have a lay-in!! Would definitely go back and would highly recommend!

A large, clean and comfortable room in close proximity to Rye town centre with ample parking. We only stayed for one night but if we return to Rye, which we may well do, then we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
