Hotel was delightful. Location had beautiful views. Room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was nice. Charming staff. My only suggestion it to put an outlet close to the bed for visitors to charge devices yet still have close by.

It was clean and homely. Might need a few renovations as it’s clearly well used over the years like the windows don’t stay open without a stopper which is quite dangerous and the ceilings a bit cracked but not falling apart at all just well lived over the years. The bed was the most comfortable bed Ive ever had the pleasure of sleeping in and the breakfast was delicious. Beautiful view from my room - worth every penny just wish they had a late check out option!

I was having trouble finding the hotel and the hotel staff was kind enough to stay with me on the phone, guiding me through the unfamiliar town. So kind! Would stay here again!

I had a great stay in the Hope Anchor hotel. A lovely warm welcoming place in a great location. My room was comfortable and charming and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was enough to last you through till teatime and cooked to order so fresh and tasty. Rye is an amazing place to visit and this hotel is ideally situated to enjoy it.

Traditional and homely accommodation, just what we were looking for as a place for our family to stay. The location was excellent. The services of the city centre were close by, but the hotel was located on a beautiful street in a quiet environment. The rooms were charming, one of which we used was particularly functional and comfortable. A very good traditional English breakfast, complemented by berries and yoghurt. I couldn't have asked for anything more for breakfast or from the hotel. I can warmly recommend it.

Siistit, tilavat ja persoonalliset huoneet. Hyvä sijainti, huippu aamiainen ja ihana henkilökunta. Majoituimme perhehuoneessa, kaksi aikuista ja teini.

Lovely hotel. Very glad I took their offer to book table for dinner on first night, as we struggled to find somewhere on the 2nd night that had a table. Rye was lovely, suspect we will go back one day and would happily stay at same hotel again. We had great view out to Camber castle and walked there and to great bird hide nearby to it.

We had a great stay here with a lovely view over to camber castle. This hotel is in a perfect location in the town just around the corner from the church, mermaid street and Lamb House. Outside is a lovely viewing point. It was very peaceful and quiet at night. There is a little bar downstairs which was handy for a post hike drink (lovely bar room and quiet). The breakfast - you can choose what you want which was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place in Rye. Very good value. Also very easy to walk over to Romney Marsh and see Camber Castle (we did a morning walk here). We’ll be coming back again.

Lovely old hotel, in a great area of Rye, at the end of a beautiful cobbled street. Staff were lovely and helpful, room was individual and very comfortable. Couldn't have asked for better.
