The room was a good size and clean/comfortable. Quite a lot of stairs to get to it! Parking - very important in Rye - was easy. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Breakfast very good. However the hotel was looking a bit tired - carpets very worn on stairs - and the windows in our room had swolen so wouldnt quite close - not great given we had really strong winds whilst there which were very noisy. But very close to lots of great restaurants.

Lovely hotel and room was great. Great location too. Lovely breakfast too. Such a shame about the common staircase area as desperately needs updating and carpet very worn. Room was lovely and spacious but shower was left as old one and not up to room standard
