Hotels with Views in Rye

"We recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The breakfast was excellent, with a great choice of foods, and the service from the staff throughout our stay was genuinely outstanding. Unfortunately, the bedrooms and en-suite facilities were very dated and in need of a thorough clean and modernisation. We were disappointed on arrival, although the staff did change our room without any trouble. The second room had a slightly larger bed, but the overall standard still fell well below the expectations set by the photos on the website. The bar and breakfast room have clearly been refurbished and look beautiful, but from the stairs upwards the hotel is in real need of some TLC. The stair carpet is threadbare, and there are visible cracks in the walls, ripped wallpaper, dirty paintwork, and thick dust in several areas. The staff and breakfast were definite highlights, but the accommodation and general upkeep let the experience down. "

"Staff were lovely and helpful room was very comfortable .lovely courtyard for drinks .we had a lovely birthday celebration "

"A lovely place to stay and very attentive and interested staff. The room was very spacious and comfortable although we found it quite hot and stuffy, particularly at night. The breakfasts were lovely and service was quick. The spa wasn’t as relaxing as hoped as you had to go back down a corridor if you wanted to visit the steam room, water fountain or sauna but still lovely to do. "

"Excellent location, lovely room and great breakfast. "

"Super stay. Bright, clean room Superior Classic. Had tasty sandwich lunch outside in sunshine. The hotel is wonderfully situated, set back from the road and coastline. Beachy Head walks very close by and superb promenade walks right out front by the sea. Great for Congress Theatre. Splendid historic building, facilities and friendly staff. Parking on site. Fabulous varied breakfast....cereals, fruits, smoked salmon/meats/cheeses and served hot breakfasts. Love it there. Thanks"

"Lovely hotel, good location and great service."

"Everything was dirty , the room had an awful smell and we couldn’t wait to leave "

"This hotel is very busy and I had booked two rooms for my son’s wedding on Good Friday. I had contacted the hotel before my stay to ensure that we had twin rooms - I had previously booked them and thought I had paid in advance, but they said I hadn’t and advised that if rebooked through the method I wished to use, that although it would say King Size they would immediately change them to the twins I had booked - they suggested I not cancel the twins until I had booked the king size rooms just in case they sold out. I spoke directly with the Hotel after booking and was assigned the twin rooms instead of king size. So imagine our shock, disappointment and dismay when the beds were Ming Size and not Twin Beds! This was not acceptable and such a bad thing especially because I was called a few days later by Delta saying that the booking was cancelled and I said Yes, because I had rebooked and had spoken with the Hotel directly! So did this guy do something to my arrangements? I don’t know but at £150 plus £27 for breakfast x2 rooms for 1 night - the least I would expect is getting the correct bed configuration!"

"Wonderful stay, beautiful location, excellent team- can’t wait to come back. "
