The hotel is dated and that’s the charm !!! Its price is great value and breakfast top quality. The two female staff members we met were great, one gave local knowledge and just a friendly welcome. The evening lady was funny with that dry wit and nothing was too much trouble. Sorry didn’t get your names. The bed !! Room 6 so comfy and soft ! The pillows … all great.

"We had a great romantic stay in Rye. The breakfast is good and the room was very nice and spacious. The views are stunni"

8.0

Beautiful building, beautiful views, lovely room

Some of the staff in reception were not particularly welcoming. We had a bizarre experience with one when we asked if they do something for us for breakfast as we were leaving early in the morning. We were met with a straight no and no sympathy. They then proceeded to tell us about their holiday to Crete when they had a lovely time and the staff did breakfast for them before they left.

"Not what we expected"

2.0

The location, and also breakfast was very good

Hotel very tired could do with some general maintaining and decoration. But we was woken up in the early hours of both mornings with the fire alarms going off which turned out to be false alarms but never the less had to be checked. Causing excessive tiredness and spoiling our long awaited weekend. When commenting in the morning said it may have been dust or heat to the sensors?

"Völlig überteuert und enttäuschend"

2.0

Frühstück war ok, Ambiente im Aufenthaltsraum und draußen, bis auf die überfüllten Mülleimer nebenan

Zimmergröße incl "Bad" ohne Schrank, Fenster durften trotz Hitze wg. Tauben nicht geöffnet werden, Wasserdruck der Dusche völlig inakzeptabel, nächtlicher sehr lauter wiederholter Feuerfehlalarm aus offenbar sogar bekannten Gründen (Handwerker). Keinerlei Entschuldigung/Entschädigung durch das Hotelpersonal dafür. Angesichts geringer Qualität überteuerte Bar, Parkplätze tagsüber nur weit entfernt.

"Lovely hotel, which has a lot of potential"

7.0

We liked the location and the history of the hotel we have been going for quite a long time the breakfast is always very good

The property unfortunately is becoming very tired. The bar area no longer has draft beers and not fully open. Seems like a real waste of what was a lovely bar area. we stayed in exactly the same room back in 2019 and the state of repair was much better.

The town is lovely and the location was okay

Really REALLY grumpy lady on the front desk. Barely spoke to us checking in. When checking out, we thanked her - didn't say a word. Didnt ask if we enjoyed it, thanked us - nothing. Super awkward interaction! Rooms quite outdated (there was a wardrobe in the bathroom - bit strange) and scruffy. Would come back to Rye but never to here. Stay at The Mermaid for sure!
