Stunning building and location. Bedroom and view was great. Very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. I had a lovely peaceful breakfast too. Only negatives to report; tv reception needs looking at and the shower was very noisy with low pressure but otherwise everything was great and i enjoyed my stay! I would stay again for sure!

Booked a family room with friend. This room was very spacious with an ample sized bathroom beds pillows were very comfortable nice linen and towels. We found the counter fridge in the room an added bonus. The hotel has a bar. It has a lovely view of the area. Staff are very helpful and pleasant. Maintenance issue we had with the room was dealt with within 10 minutes of reporting. There is a large choice in respect of hot or continental choices for breakfast. I would add that both my friend and I have stayed at this hotel on a number of occassions

This is a nice hotel in a truly spectaculair situation. And what a vieuw! If you’re looking for luxury and large rooms this is not for you. But it is in a building with character and charm. Nice room and bathroom, clean, good bed and pillows and a good breakfast with plenty of choice. Carpets on the floor, not my favorite in any hotel, not hygiënic. For eldery people the roads are steep and slippery (cobblestones). No parking. Rye is truly charming, well worth a visit!

On top of a hill. Very kind and helpful staff for me to drop off my luggage before check in, and after check out Breakfast is quite good, and the room as fantastic views over the fields, and part of the town Rye is very small so super walkable wherever you stay. Enjoy this place next to the Mermaid street, and the charming town overall
