10/10 Exceptional

I had such a lovely stay that I didn’t want to leave! My room was large and bright, very clean, as was the attached bathroom. Breakfast each day was delicious, I had a great view, and I felt safe and well taken care of. Beautiful medieval streets and boutique shopping are all easily within short walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

Lookout Hotel Rye.
The staff are professional and friendly. The quality, amount and choice of beakfast was excellent. Happy hour on wine and beer with a complimentary cheeseboard was excellent. Room 7 was large with chair,coffee table and 2sofas. The queen size bed was very comfortable and an undisturbed 2 nights sleep was had. The only thing there should be a odd job person on a daily basis to repair curtain lining touch up paintwork. However the style and furniture was lovely. We are definitely rebooking in the near future.

8/10 Very good

A fantastic location with very friendly staff. However the hotel could do with some refurbishment as generally looked a bit tired (stained carpets, dirty walls, cracked mirror).
Hannah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved my stay here. I had a top floor room with windows on each end, which made for a gorgeous view. Watching the sunset from this room will be a memory I will never forget . The room had beautiful bedding and a bath tub which is always a plus. The bed wasnt the most comfortable but it wasnt too much of a problem. I would definitely stay here again if I am lucky enough to come back to Rye!

8/10 Very good

The room was very comfortable, staff helpful and friendly. Very nice location but sadly let down by the poor condition of the building and outside, needs some tlc!
