The George In Rye  

The food was excellent.

The room was cold and considering it was marketed as the honeymoon suite not much privacy as you are on the ground floor with people walking past !The bed was terrible, sagging and we had a sleepless night.The heaters in the bathroom was not switched on and we ran out of water after 1 bath!My husband didn't much enjoy his cold shower!The breakfast service was extremely poor, there didn't seem to be any control over who was serving what table.We had to ask for tea,again toast and again for breakfast.The so called buffet had run out of more or less everything!Even glasses!Need I say more!

The hotel is beautifully furnished. The staff welcoming and friendly. We had a wonderful time.

A very small point but some of the seating around the perimiter on the upper level of the restaurant was not comfortable owing to the hight of the seats relative to the hight of the tables. These are on the right hand side as you enter the restaurant from the reception.

Very cozy, although we chose a weekend where there was a large function going on so we found it hard to get service at the bar!!

Just a very pleasant place to stay in an attractive location. Breakfasts were good, we liked the pears in ginger in particular, room was comfortable and the staff were helpful and attentive.

Although the food was in general terms good there was a tendency to overcook some of the dishes e.g. fish and chips was rather dry also toast was sometimes burnt.

We enjoyed the food and wine and were impressed with the homemade touches with breakfast inparticular eg yoghurt and granola. Also the Breakfast Bites are an excellent choice.

The decor was really lovely. The service was good. The attention to detail - Frette sheets, ren bath products, Teapigs tea etc. The location was central for Rye.

No parking facilities - probably not a problem in winter but definitely in the summer. Details regarding this should be on the website as most people will arrive in Rye by car. Also, be clear about the target clientele - couples without children of any age and families with small children don't mix well. We would not have booked if we had known that the young family with children is king in this hotel. As a couple, we did not appreciate the bar area accommodating small children, babies in fact. We went to the Mermaid Bar instead that provided the suitably adult environment that we expect in a licensed premises. We also didn't eat in the restaurant because we didn't want to run the risk of our evenings being further ruined by, not just the children - it's hardly their fault their parents choose to take them into adult spaces after bedtime, but their parents trying to keep them in order. Our room (30) was lovely, however, we were underneath a family with small children. The constant patter (or rather loud thumping) of tiny feet, the loud noises at bathtime, the sound of crying or a parental telling off was not conducive to the relaxing treat we had anticipated for ourselves. There were other rooms that are not family rooms and we didn't book a family room! Sorry, but it meant The George didn't make any money out of us and we didn't get to fully enjoy what it has to offer.

Very comfortable and well looked after

Great location for visiting Rye. Rooms were very comfortable and their renovation done to a high standard. We had dinner at their restaurant and found the food to be good, yet found some staff to be underwhelming and other staff quite good making a mixed experience. The morning breakfast was superb.

Some dinner staff demonstrated different levels of enthusiasm. You'll need to park in the station car park or near the city wall car park; it's not that far, but you will need to buy the multi-day option before buying the one day option… not really The George in Rye issue.

Only stayed one night but thoroughly enjoyed it. The sevice was excellent, the room was tastefully decorated and roomy. We also enjoyed a lovely meal. Will certainly stay again, longer hopefully!

The style of the whole building The friendliness of the staff The luxury of the suite

The room key system was difficult to operate, even for the staff The lack of parking Eventhough we enjoyed the facilities we still considered the price a little high

Good attention from staff who were relaxed but professional. Room 20 was good but perhaps not luxurious but good enough. The small terrace outside is a nice touch and was good to have. The whole layout is impressive -the mix of designer chic and antique works very well. The food was very good and reasonably priced. I have seen some comments that it is expensive but don't get that at all. We enjoyed both lunch and evening meal. Good energy to the place with plenty of helpful staff which is unusual but definitely appreciated.

The room (20) was a bit too noisy from whoever was upstairs - just voices and footsteps but still very audible and a bit irritating. The tables for eating in the bar area (beneath the open terrace) were a little uncomfortable - that is to say the chairs too low but more importantly one felt a little out of the action as the main restaurant room has the ambiance one is looking for (or indeed the outside terrace which looks great) .The back bar area (with the bay window seat) could be a little more interesting but is still good compared to the 5 or 6 tables before the main restaurant. Did not feel entirely comfortable and felt a bit exposed . Maybe if there were two or three larger tables there instead it would give a little more intimacy and comfort. But again, overall, the experience was good.

Lovely location. Very pleasant staff. Hotel very clean and lots of character. No on site car park not a problem as public car park only 5 mins walk and cost just £1.50 for 24 hours. Rye is a very pretty interesting town and The George is ideal place to stay.

Accommodation slightly expensive.

A lot of thought and care has gone into the decor and refurbishment... we got lots of ideas about how we'd like to do our own home! The room was fantastic - comfortable, spacious and felt like a modern take on a classic style. The staff were helpful, friendly and efficient, and we even broke the habit of a lifetime and ate in the hotel restaurant rather than find a local place, as the menu looked so good.
