    Calm, relaxing stay in a beautiful setting

    There wasn't much to dislike, but I would probably have made breakfast a bit less chaotic. You could help yourself to plenty of juice, fruit salad, cereal, toast and croissant but for some reason you had to keep asking for tea. I think there could've easily been self-pour options to free up the staff. The cooked breakfast we chose was lovely. You won't go hungry.

    We had the cosy room which I was worried the bed might be small, but it had plenty of room. Great powerful shower, plenty of room to get ready. Room was very calm and away from the restaurant. We were there during a wedding, but we only heard it at dinner.

    Lovely hotel in the heart of Rye
    • Leisure trip

    • Superior Double

    Not wanting to complain as we were upgraded the only downside on the room were quite a small bed and would have preferred a super king (suite are advertised as having super kings) and we were right next to the lift and that was more noisy than expected. The pigeon poo outside the entrance door into the room should have been cleaned away. The restaurant was a lovely space but felt that if you were going to eat there more than 1 night the menu was not varied enough.

    We loved this stylish hotel, it was full of life and the interiors were lovely. The staff were very welcoming from reception to the restaurant. We were upgraded which was a treat to a junior suite. Lots of space. So centrally located and easy to get around the town to see all the sights. We would stay again.

    There was too much lime juice in the avocado mash recipe, all guests were leaving it aside, basically not edible.

    Nothing!

    Fantastic room in a lovely hotel! The location was excellent, the room (despite being a 'cosy' room) was spacious and had all the little extras you could want - including a cafetiere and ground coffee. The shower was huge and powerful and there was a smart TV with Netflix, Disney etc. There was also a fan in the room which we really appreciated as it was unseasonably warm and humid when we visited. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. We couldn't fault it

    We loved the property, it was excellent, the staff were always helpful and friendly, amazing courtyard and spacious venue. Only thing we didn’t realise the radiator was behind the chair so a bit chilly when waking up and the mattress was very firm. That’s just preference though. We loved our stay so a big thank you to the team

    I didn’t like that there was an air of rudeness from some of the more monied older guests in the restaurant. It stank of entitlement. The staff handle them impeccably, but shouldn’t have to!

    Our stay was wonderful. The George is beautiful, but what really made our stay extra special were the staff… Dave from Seville ;-) in the dining room and the guy from Tazmania made us feel super welcome. Service was impeccable and food was just lovely.

    only one person at reception , so when you are shown to your room the receptionist leaves his post and a cue builds. Very noisy room looking out over the high street. Better bread at breakfast needed (very cheap whole meal /white) , I felt the room we had was overpriced £315.00 very small , dimly lit , noisy .

    Nice hotel friendly staff , comfortable bed .well situated . Best coffee machine I have ever used , was very worried when I was pointed to the coffee machine for my flat white but it was excellent perhaps not café Nero but not far off .Great granola and Greek yogurt.

    The building itself with the uneven bedroom floors. The rooms and their furnishings are of a high standard. The bed was the best that I have had in a hotel, beautiful bathroom with brilliant shower.
