    Nothing - it was all amazing.

    We loved everything about our stay at The George. The Staff went out of their way to be friendly and accommodating. Our room was just incredible - very comfy bed, lovely deep bath, blackout curtains etc. Very atmospheric. And our dinner and breakfast were delicious. But really it's the staff who make it so lovely - they were all, without exception, fantastic.

    There weren’t enough surfaces in bedroom to put things down on, i.e. no dressing table. It would be easy to get lost in the hotel as it is a bit of a maze, so it would have been helpful to have a porter show us to our room and point out features eg kettle and cups on side but tea and coffee in bottom of wardrobe - why?? No parking at hotel, steep walk up from local car park (only £2.50 for 24 hours) so drop bags off before parking. People with mobility issues should mention this when booking as lots of steep, curving stairs and very narrow passages in parts of hotel - not a problem for us.

    Location is excellent. Historic building, beautifully refurbished in a quirky, sympathetic modern take on country house style. Hotel is full of narrow passages, it’s fun to explore where they lead and spot beautiful architectural features. The beds really comfortable, the water pressure excellent, lovely Ren toiletries. The staff were charming and the food at dinner terrific - the melt in the mouth chateaubriand was a particular highlight, a good breakfast offering.

    Hotel excellent - but can only assume Rye council are trying to discourage tourism.

    Twin room booked for our friends but double provided so they had to change rooms to a twin as requested. No fault of the hotel, but Rye council need to try to encourage visitors and tourism and open all the toilets closed for a 'Trial'!!!! They also need to arrange car parking hours so that you can park overnight without having to be out of the hotel and down to the car parks by 8.00am, absolutely ridiculous!

    Most things. Food very good.

    Our bedroom wasn’t serviced but this could be our fault for not using the request tag you had to put on the handle. We did manage to see the chambermaid and she did give s some more teabags and milk, so all good.

    All the food was excellent, breakfast and dinner.

    Everything was good so nothing to “not like”. The breakfast is tasty but the menu items are standard. We ate at the hotel because we’d paid for it but there are nice breakfast spots down the street that may peak your interest if you’re a foodie.

    Absolutely loved our room - especially the bathtub and interior design. Quite similar to an Artists Residence Hotel. The hotel is in a fantastic location - Rye is a small place but this hotel is right in the middle of it all. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly.

    It was amazing, nothing we didn't like.

    We came to stay for our first leap year wedding anniversary. The staff were absolutely amazing. We had booked a cosy double room but was upgraded to a Luxury double because of our special occasion. All the staff knew it was our anniversary and were very welcoming every time we were greeted. We were absolutely not expecting the upgrade and were very surprised and it made our stay. We ate in the restaurant as my mother had called to add credit to our room and the food was absolutely amazing. The breakfast was absolutely delicious too. We can't wait to visit again.

    - staff at the restaurant were very nice , just maybe slightly understaffed at diner time? sequencing of food order and drinks didn’t quite work well. - there was a beaming light from the courtyard going into the room from a window, which couldn’t let me sleep. I mentioned that to the reception and it looks like some technical issue that night only, which is a shame, but staff was very apologetic also as other guests mentioned the same. So likely a one off issue.

    - staff very lovely and professional - quality bed and linen. Very comfortable - quality products in the bathroom, which is nice - great location - well insulated room so couldn’t hear noise from courtyard just outside my room - great menu - great breakfast and decent coffee - lovely hotel in the core of town - could stay indoors all day if it were raining all the time
