You are playing a lottery here with room allocation. Will you get one which has already been refurbished or are you going to get something which was last redecorated in the 1980’s? We had 2 so called deluxe doubles, rooms, 1 and 4 and both were in need of full redecoration with, for example, the curtains falling apart from long use in room 1 and the decor in both tired and dated. On the plus side they were large and the beds comfortable. In the public facing area, the space has already been renovated and it is smart and stylish. The hotel is very well located.

The hotel standard was well maintained, cheerful and helpful staff, breakfast was plentiful, our room was clean and well serviced, our only negative was the car parking, having to use an app, not everyone has a smart phone! Eight pounds a day is too expensive. We would come again.

This was in a very convenient place, had very well equipped and comfortable rooms, and the staff were friendly, kind and helpful. We had an excellent breakfast - there was a good range of food on offer, and we had the best kipper we had ever tasted! We also appreciated the advice to eat at The Lookout's sister hotel, and had a splendid meal there too. Altogether a very good stay, and we would heartily recommend this hotel. S and S, Bromley

Friendly staff and great location next to Rye high street. Private parking in the small hotel carpark, though £8.30 only covers to 1pm the next day (regardless of what time you arrive). There’s not much parking in Rye so this was a great bonus. Room was nice and so was breakfast. All sorts of self-serve coffee options, including decaf and oat milk options (though those with dairy allergy would not be able to use the machine, as the oat milk pours from the same spout as dairy milk). Overall, a great place to spend a few days relaxing and exploring Rye and surrounding areas.

Great hotel and location for centre of Rye and its surrounding attractions via the bus station - 313 bus to Rye Harbour, 10 minutes and Stop B for Camber Sands, 15 minutes. Hotel was lovely and staff friendly and helpful. Room No1 was very spacious for 2. Great tea/coffee facilities, hairdryer and ironing board/iron if you so wished. The room itself needed updating and redecorating and the curtain was torn. The furniture was damaged and dated. The dressing gowns and cushions needed a dry clean as they had a musty smell and the carpet a deep clean. However, the bed was comfortable and clean. A good size SmartTV which was welcoming. The cooked breakfast was good along with the continental breakfast.

Very tired regarding decor. We had a king room which was large but in need of an update. Carpet had seen it's day, grubby and worn. Room had a large balcony overlooking car park but exterior window and balcony woodwork was rotten and it real need of repairing and painting and decking boards needed a lot of TLC. Walls in room had areas that needed attention. Bathroom was clean but wooden bath panelling should be replaced as looked bad along with missing and broken beading around the edge. Wooden room furniture was old fashioned and tired. Top of wardrobe hadn't been dusted. It is nowhere near as good as pictures show. On a positvie note, breakfast was very good. Lovely clean bedding and plush towels were provided and the added touch of dressing gowns. Overall disappointed.

Central location.
Very central location. Comfortable and clean room but decor and furniture a bit tired. Pipes from plumbing rather noisy throughout day and night. Staff were very nice. A problem with a broken hot drinks machine at breakfast so no teas or coffees. (No suggestion of a kettle being boiled to rectify the problem but when I asked they did let us take milk, teabags etc to our room to make our own hot drinks to have after breakfast)

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.
