Amazing breakfast and staff were very nice and called us so we could get in earlier. Our room was on the top floor and looked out over Romney Marsh. Rye is stunning with lots to see and the hotel is at the bottom of the high street near the medieval arch

Great central location, nice breakfast, private paid parking and overall very reasonably priced. However, some of the decor needed refreshing such as some worn stair carpets and moss on window frames none of which detracted from us enjoying our stay at the hotel.

6/10 Good

The location is good and staff were very nice. The room was a good size but very tired!! Dusty with cobwebs , paintwork chipped badly and the bathroom had rusty handles and in poor condition. The balcony was quite honestly filthy!!! Disappointing as the pictures do not match what you actually get!!

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely little hotel. Staff were helpful, kind and considerate. The hotel is in a great location for walking around Rye and the car park was easily accessible, albeit £10.30 a day quite expensive. We stayed in room 7, large and comfortable with a large en-suite. Although needed updating, along with the communal areas which could do with a lick of paint and new carpet. Overall a good hotel with a great breakfast.

This is our go to hotel in Rye now and as usual we had a lovely stay. What stands out is the staff here. The guy on reception is always so friendly and welcoming and the guy at breakfast was really helpful, I wish I knew their names. Our room was decorated really nice, a very comfortable bed and lots of teas and coffee to choose from. We will be back thank you!

Another comfortable stay at the Look Out. Really welcoming and attentive staff, clean well-equipped rooms and an excellent breakfast. Some areas of the hotel are tired (e.g. stair carpets), but overall would thoroughly recommend.
