The George In Rye  

The Restaurant is a particular high point in this gem of a hotel, our evening meal was delicious and we loved the view from our corner table, the whole place oozed a relaxing atmosphere. The hotel combines authentic period features with great modern design. Every detail was well thought out and executed. The room was very comfortable and luxurious and really helped us have a relaxing escape away from the city. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone looking to treat themselves, we're already planning our next trip :)

The free wifi didn't reach our room which was annoying, but the reception was good in communal areas. Breakfast (Sunday morning) was quite busy and by the time we were seated most of the pastries, juices etc were depleated. The staff were obviously a bit strung out as we waited quite a while to be served and then asked 3 times for ketchup. That said we just read the papers and relaxed and the food more than made up for the wait.

The staff were really friendly and helpful, the food was excellent as were the breakfasts

Our room was a superior room which was lovely, except there was no windows and due to where the room was located we couldnt leave the curtains on the patio doors open as people could see in from the terrace. Lso the room above had wooden floors and when the people get up at 7.30am and then appear to be running a matharon around the room for the next 2 hours you get woken up and can't get back to sleep.

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!!

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.

Excellent hotel. Very nice and quiet rooms with all facilities. The restaurant offers fine food and waiters are very relaxed. Open kitchen. We love the UK for holidays and this is the best hotel in the very nice town of Rye. Book and look for yourself

WIFI was not working in the evening. Reason ? In the morning it worked. The girl on duty at the reception could not book us 30 min earlier in the restaurant for unclear reasons. These are however minor points

Wondeful chill out stay which was ideal for my husband and I. We stayed 2 nights. Liked the Hotel v much, ideal for shopping and lovely restaurants, just a step outside the front door. The bed was v comfortable, although the George is right on the High St it is v quiet at night, and you do get a lovely nights sleep. Ideal location for Camber & Hastings. Flat shoes recommended as the cobbles are not always easy to walk on. Rye is steeped in History so a v interesting place to visit. I loved the quaint shops, and lovely tea shops. Highly recommeded. Thank you for the upgrade. We will return. Eileen

In an ideal world I would have liked a spa area/gym - having said that I'm not sure what room you have to do that...... (the toilet flush in room 46 needs looking at).

Excellent room , first class breakfast, all staff were warm and helpful and an excellent location, parking can be a problem, though not if you are fit and do,nt mind a walk

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.

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.

Hotel is comfortable, food excellent, with emphasis on good, local produce, staff friendly but courteous, location in centre of historic town is great.

Reception somewhat chaotic and single member of staff easily distracted by other clients and phone calls when attempting to book in; room smelled musty and ventilation poor; disliked piped music everywhere: intrusive and unnecessary; very noisy wedding party on Sunday night, intrusive guests in public areas and thumping music in ballroom above dining room.

I arrived late wanted good food and a nice room. Both were better than expected, I really enjoyed the whole experience and would go back there next time. RHY is worth a visit
