8/10 Very good

Hotel is old but charming. The room was bigger than expected. Had a room for 3. Had a big bed in one space and a twin bed in the other room. We faced the harbor so opened windows to get a nice breeze. They provided a fan which helped bc our room was pretty warm as they do not have ac. Breakfast was nice and included with room rate. Service was great. Did have a time figuring out how to flush the toilet. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and the town. Very friendly folks, great shopping and restaurants. Close to the beach.

Excellent hotel stay

An excellent stay, brilliantly located in the old town with great views. Well worth the windy drive through the quirky streets and bag drop off. Room was outstanding, very comfy bed and good suite. Breakfast was also fantastic with great range of choice. Best weekend stay hotel we’ve ever had.

Hope Anchor Restaurant and Bar

Room was clean and the bed comfortable. On arival its obvious the reception desk is now missing and check in is via the bar. Evening meals are still not available and the draft pumps have been removed from the bar. Feels like its being wound down, but i guess this is reflected in the price.

Great hotel for Rye town

Great place to stay if visiting Rye town, ideal for walking around and visiting pubs and restaurants in town , no driving required, although you will have to leave your car in public car park. Clean and tidy hotel with good views from many of the rooms, of particular note is the excellent breakfast served daily. Would recommend.
