The staff made the place, couldn’t do enough for us! Restaurant was 10/10.
Rooms were so lovely, but didn’t have aircon. Having a toddler highlighted the bathroom floor and around the toilet needed a deep clean.

Amazing stay though, will be back!

This is a lovely hotel. We stayed in the junior suite and it was gorgeous. Excellent concierge staff. Super bathroom too…huge with separate shower and a gorgeous bath tub. Excellent views.
Even better ifs - Would have been useful to have a mini fridge in the room, particularly in the warm weather. A nice tea selection, but no coffee in the room. Vegetarian breakfast option was rather limited.

Quaint town, great location. Staff very helpful, took my bag to the room, necessary given a twisty set of hallways (charming) which entailed 3-4 step sections. Bar open until 11:30pm a plus, breakfast good. If you are there in the summer and it’s hot, ask for a fan. They have them and needed as there is no a/c.

Clean and tidy room, but I do wonder if it is overpriced.

The location is great, but the weather each year is the same - pro-longed periods of hot weather but the rooms are not suitable as they are like furnaces. Hotels all over the UK and many other businesses are not taking action to deal with such conditions.

A small fan is not sufficient and I understand the hotel is of an age Air Con is not possible to be fitted, but more fans would have been ideal.

They were unable to provide our room earlier, as they were sourcing a fan to put in the room + house keeping still ended to sign it off, so it is clear there are not enough fans for all the rooms, never mind two. I know the hot weather is something they are unable to control, but with the rooms being so hot, and it often being a yearly regular occurance, a good nights sleep wasn't possible, one bit. For the price we paid, over £230 for the lead in room, it wasn't value for money.

We have stayed a few times before - no recognition of this fact.

The breakfast was lovely but the continental offering has reduced down quite a bit since we last came a few years ago. Again, things change but it was noticeable the accessible items were reduced and the range was limited. Hot breakfast was tasty, well cooked, great ingredients and not greasy at all.

The George, like most properties in Rye is a very old building which whilst adding to its charm also presents the usual issues surrounding layout and maintenance
We had room 29 which was a reasonable size however looked tied and was decorated in a Psychedelic Orange patterned wall paper covering all walls and ceiling!!
Evidence of mould on window frames however over all the room was clean
Like all hotels in Rye the cost of room was higher than your usual hotel stay but that is the price of staying in Rye
Food looked good however we ate out as plenty of good quality options close by with greater variety and cheaper prices

We upgraded from a cosy room to a superior room. The room itself was lovely, though quite small and the bathroom had a roll top bath. The room was extremely clean and the decor was lovely. However, I would say that there was little space to put any of our things, little surface space in the bedroom and the bathroom. Our room was on the top floor; we were asked before arrival whether we had an problem with stairs, and there were quite a few levels to go up so be aware of this. I do have one gripe! There was a constant humming noise in our room, I expect coming from the extractor fan that was outside the bedroom window. We did put up with it but for anyone who likes silence, it would have drove you round the twist. There was a small radio on in our room when we arrived; so wondering if that was to disguise it. I assume this humming noise would have been heard in the rooms either side of us as well. We were in Room 20. Again, lovely room, was let down by the noise.

This is easily the best hotel in Rye, and, in my opinion, one of the best I have had the pleasure of staying at.
Like many hotels the food was excellent, the service was excellent the rooms are beautifully decorated and the simple things like having a decent shower or bar are so well catered for.
What sets this apart is the vibe of the place, you can feel the history, You can feel the culture that has been created in the team, who really understand customer service. From my first interaction with Harry on reception prior to booking, to checking in and right through every interaction I felt the ten were looking after my wife and I.

The restaurant food was superb and well priced, drinks great, breakfast excellent, coffee very good… A firmer bed and chunkier pillows, and a stretchier hairdryer cord would have made it perfect.

Brendan on reception was very welcoming on arrival and helpful. Even took our luggage to our room before we returned after we left it with him on arrival.Junior suite room was clean and spacious although could have done without all the pretend doves perched around the room.Bed was pretty uncomfortable and pillows were feather and too soft. The hotel is alledgedly famed for it's breakfast which is definitely no different to what one would expect at any hotel. What never ceases to amaze is the fact that guests are expected to queue up to use two toasters whilst their meal is getting cold. Additionally you have to use a computer screen to make your own tea & coffee. Who can be bothered? Hotel is advertised as having parking available. What is not mentioned is that the parking is in an unmanned regular town carpark which is a 10 minute walk away, so you must either carry your luggage up hill back to the hotel or park on double yellow lines outside the hotel as we did to unload first, then take the car to the car park and then make your way back.It's really not worth the effort.Many better hotels available.
