Pros:

Quirky, clean, modern despite being an old coaching inn. Reception staff lovely

Cons:

It was two or three times the price of any other hotel in or around Rye, not sure that premium was worth it

A wonderful romantic place to come for a short break.
Pros:

Our room was perfect and the service from staff was incredible. Food in the restaurant was brilliant too. I loved being in the heart of Rye.

Cons:

I can't really fault the place but I think breakfast could have been at the quality of the dinner service. It felt slightly lacking.

Terrible service We were made to feel like a burden from the start to finish.
Pros:

Room was nice, we had a cosy double. Bed was comfortable. Location is right in the middle of town.

Cons:

We were made to feel like a burden from the start to finish.

When we arrived, no one on check in - took 15 minutes to find staff - lots of bags completely unattended in the atrium. When they arrived they told me I'd stayed in the loading bay outside - 7 mins max. I told them I'd been waiting for them for 15 mins. I was then told 'good luck parking' absolutely no help, directions at all.

For breakfast - when I asked if i could order after waiting for 20 minutes, I was told a table of 17 had to be dealt with first. We then subsequently waited a further 20-30 minutes to order eggs.

For a few 100 GBP a night in off season - I expected more.

It was a nice break but the hotel is no more than adequate and therefore overpriced
Pros:

Ambience

Cons:

Not enough staff, those that are there require more training, dinner poor with a truly awful soup. Breakfast average.

A good hotel to stay
Pros:

Completely refurbished a few years ago so everything is nice. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. We appreciated the proper bed (a Vi-Spring mattress) and slept really well.
Breakfast was excellent, the best Kippers we've had for a long time!
For us the only negative is that there's no secure private parking, just council run car parks (plenty of spaces) to leave your car unattended at night.
